    Back on track aka more goodies!!

    Hi everyone!! I had a bad day detecting a while back which left me kind of discouraged (no deep signals = no good finds ). After a slooow day woods and park hunting on Tuesday (only a few toasted pre WWII wheaties), I met up with Pocket Spill, Gimme the Loot, and another detectorist at a park spot for some night hunting. Less than 6 feet from where I parked my car, I dug what appears to be a Victorian style doorknob part or possibly a drawer pull. Also dug a '64d Roosie, 2 indians ('02, '07), 7 wheaties (teens-'50s), a spoon ring ('20s maybe??) and a few bucks in clad. All in only about 4 hours!! Returned last night for more, again with PS. This time, in about 3 1/2 hours, I found 4 wheats (teens-'50s), a '57 Roosie, a BEAUTIFUL '07 BBQ , and a little over a buck in clad. I'll be back to this awesome location as soon as the weather improves. Two day totals: three silvers ('07 BBQ, '57, '64d Roosies; 2 indians ('02, '07); 15 wheaties (teens-'50s; not pictured); spoon ring (rang up like a pull tab, so possibly silver plated nickel ); Victorian style doorknob part or drawer pull; and about $10 in clad (also not pictured). Pics below. Enjoy!!

    AWESOME!!!!! Just bring a headlamp to see in your holes so you don't scratch any coins (especially dark colored copper coins such as wheaties and indians). Also (obviously) you have to be in a safe area. Many areas where I detect during the day, I would NEVER hunt at night (it just isn't safe after dark).

    Great hunting with you Paul. Great to see another Barber Quarter come out of that area. It's a beauty!
