Will the bug ever go away?

[RELICDUDE07]

I think i maybe really sick with the bug.After years of research and some old finds i wonder,will the bug ever go away? The MDA class is not much help as of yet

[savant365]

Holy crap! Is this all from one hunt? Details please...

[RON (PA)]

Details...we want details...That is a super bunch of finds. Did they come from the same spot

[Tank69]

if your lucky they will never find a cure for the bug,need a huntin buddy ,sweet finds

[RELICDUDE07]

The stuff was found at 2 different locations.The spanish stuff came from a burnt down spanish fort area and the seated & bust coins from a old house site!Took about a week or so to find all the goodies Thanks for looking

You'll take it to the grave with you. Some days I can barely motivate, but I'm never too bad to not go metal detecting if the weather is nice. Monty

[extractor]

Wow !!!!!!!! How deep were the finds? What detector were you using to find the goods? Have you been back to the sites to look for more?

[RELICDUDE07]

It was all found with a minelab exp. most of it was deep and took some diggin to bring it out,the only target hit i had on the machine was a iron ax head at first. After diggin in the ironpatch for a bit things started to turn up..The minelab is great in iron mask mode for searching trash/iron pits and finding silver and gold in it when most machines would drive you nuts.I have been back and found more goodies,i may post some soon.. Chagy and Ivan?I think you were both right on the lock,i found some info. It is a V between 2 Columns. V=veracruz an it makes a M for mexico....

relicdude, first of all wonderful finds!. You mentioned you are using the minelab explorer and finding these deep. May I ask what size coil you are using to avoid what must be a lot of square nails? Are you in ferrous? Thanks

[robfinds]

No the bug won't go away, it's terminal I'm afraid.

Johnny ,i use this coil 3x6..I started diggin and finding so much pottery and iron i dug a hole about 3 ft wide and 3 ft deep.The lot is in the woods and on a friends property she has a huge parcel of land on a river .I take the small coil and look the banks of the hole and the dirt removed...So really im diggin closer to the target ,it's not the machine is going that deep..

I was afraid of that I love the tin toys and artifacts you found...Man they are out of this world!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think you will ever get rid of the bug. Lets say I hope not. Congradulations, and man keep them comming. It takes my breath to view you finds.

[Evan/tn]

nice finds

[RELICDUDE07]

Thank you Old river.I enjoyed the post you had about the oldriver day party!Looks like everyone had a goodtime !

[curbdiggercarl57]

Why would you want it to?!

[allen]

those are all some really terrific finds !!!

[Kyle PA]

If you keep finding those large Spanish flat buttons at the rate you are, I can tell you that the bug will never go away. Now, post those up, will ya?

[ivan salis]

I told you there would be goodies there didn't I ? --trust the ole researcher --your on to some of the good stuff. --most likely theres more --lots more.

uh veracruz , mexico needless to say was the "loading port" for spanish treasure shipments and travelers --- you got a lockplate face like a travelers chest would likely had for safe keeping their valuible goods ( and / or smuggled gold / silver which was quite common) while they were headed back to spain -- the veracruz "V" for veracruz I am not sure of but I trust your veiw having not seen it first hand myself /however the "M" meaning mexico marking are clearly upon on it-- now to find some of what was in the chest. --- I know without a doubt "M" for mexico --from what you say the letter design "V" --(veracruz) as part of them "M" for mexico makes good sense. -- think your in the sweet spot for some great finds.
