Nokta Fors Core hunt WV

[wv hilljack]

After 3 days of heavy rain most of the area is flooded. Hardly a country road that isn't under water. I first hunted an old home that was built in 1896. What a disappointment, didn't even find a clad penny. Not having to many options because of the flooding I hit this old park that I figured had been hunted out. Used the new Nokta Fors Core and didn't do to bad. All clad and one 58d wheat. Came close thought got some 65 dimes and 66,67 quarters. Also found this ingot thing that ring up in the silver range. Not sure what it is. It's not real heavy like lead.

I tumble my coins and run them through vending machines, who knows I might get silver out of a vending machine. I roll the new coins and will bring them to the bank at the end of the season. I keep a special account for this hobby which is attached to PayPal. You never know what good deals on upgrades you can find. The only coins I plan on ever putting in the coin star are my pennies since I can't run them through a vending machine.

I'm going to a big open lot tomorrow, that used to have two homes and an old post office that closed in the twenties. Wish me luck! Good luck on your hunts!

Hi ItsawGood!

Ok guys this is what I got for today. A 1912,38,39 what appears to be a spent mini ball from a place were a old church used to be. I used the ATP with the NEL Tornado coil at this site. At the other site I got the 57d wheatie and the 1969 S penny. Also got a gold ring, the butterflies were in the same hole together plus the metal man. (He has a cape on his back.) A laser one token and the silver looking ingot of metal. It was black when I pulled it out of the ground and hit 93 on the VDI. Hit with the wire brush to shine it up. Also got a 67 quarter and 67, 69 dimes.

All yeah I forgot these. They are organ reeds from the church site. They were all over the place.

Nice Hilljack!!!! Got to love productive days like that. I'm back to the drawing board, learning my new Xterra 705 after years of service from a BH Tckr IV. Once I get a smidge competent with it, I'll start adventuring out. Have my eye on an abandoned community....just paranoid that I may not be alone among the vacants.

I think you found more today than I have in several years!!! Lol

 

[wv hilljack]

The 705 is a good machine. It was my first and I still have it. The VDI has a different read than the ATP but it does go deep.

The reeds are a very big clue some of the best turn of the century hunting sites have them !!!
