3 Hour Hunt--Got Some Spanish Silver + More

[Wes-N-VA]

Got out on 11-17-2012 with my good friend Nate for a early morning hunt. We could only hunt for 3 hours but we made the most out of our time. I had the lucky horseshoe today, didn't I Nate . Nate and I have a friendly and spirited competition between us on who can find the best and oldest coins or relics. I will say that he is the "coinmaster" in our small group of hunters. I have been giving him a run for his money these past few weeks. I found a very nice Spanish Shield Cob, another large copper (no detail at all?), a nice 1864 Indian Head, a crushed two piece general service eagle button, our ususal flatties, and a very nice decorative gold piece to boot! Enjoy the pictures AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO VIEW THE LIVE DIG, GO OVER TO YOUTUBE UNDER WESNVIRGINIA. Thank you!

Awesome! I love the cobb. The gold looks great too. I found a cufflink similar to yours last week, but yours has much nicer detail. Try a little hydrogen peroxide on your copper to see if and detail shows. Olive oil works too if its toasted with no patina. Great hunt!
