Know it is suppose to be 100% hot this Saturday but anyone up for another morning hunt. Got a large spot between a school and park that we haven't tried. Pretty sure the Copeland Gang didn't hideout here but hoping for plenty of targets. There is some shade so maybe we can last till 11:00 or 12:00. Meet at McD's on Broadway around 6am again. Metal detector, Ice and Water. I missed the mark last week by saying 2 silvers would be found, so calling for 3 hairpins, 34 bottle caps, 2 bullets and a 1978 quarter. See if we can top that. :thumbsup:

I'm eventually going to make one of your hunts. Unfortunately, I don't think it'll be this one. Good luck, I hope you get double your goals this weekend! :laughing7:

Add to that the inevitable 10 pull tabs, and 5 nails I will recover!

That site last week looked so promising.
When we first drove up, I was ecstatic, I thought for sure it was going to be a "silver" day.
We should have just looked for the old Privy (if there was one), and dug bottles!

So I called for 3 hairpins, 34 bottle caps, 2 bullets and a 1978 quarter on today's run. Got the three hair clips, quit counting the bottles caps/tabs, 1-9mm bullet unfired, 9 brass shotgun hulls and a 1979 quarter. How about them apples. Not to hot until about 9:30, a little breeze and some shade helped. HPD came by, Nick thought he wanted to be digging with us when he talked to him. Hope the back gets better Nick. Like they say, any day digging is a good day. I think I was in penny hell/heaven, depends on how you look at it. 66-P, 5-N, 7-D, 2-Q, "41 Wheat and a Champion Lanes token.

Nice work Steve. Glad the spot paid off again. It still amazes me what might come out of the ground.
Cecil, we have been trying to go early and quit when we can't stand it anymore. Which right now isn't too long.
If we do make it to cooler weather, hope to get a road trip to the coast. Maybe by December it will be below 85 degrees.

Count me in....I can road trip some too. Have had great luck in the meridian area years ago, found a few things at camp Shelby and would love to go there again, haven't hunted sites in the Laurel or Hattiesburg area though I have wanted to hunt the old Beverly drive in site.

It will be nice to hunt with a group...

How big is that brass harp?
It sort of looks like a music holder for marching band instruments..
