Saturday, December the 16. It was a frigid day with snow on the ground and the wind was howling! What better of a day to join some Tnet members to hunt for some Civil War relics!?
It was a great day for everyone! We all walked away with a smile on our faces and I have to thank Deb for the incredible invite to this site!
I started off by getting a feel for my detector once again; it’s been a while since I got “Taz” and “The Chief”out to search for lost history. I actually ended up having the best hunt I've ever had yet! A few 3 ringers, a knapsack hook, some rivets (one with a star), two eagle buttons, what seems to be a trigger, a drawer pull, some brass and copper bits, a small key plate, piece of a toe tap, and my best finds.... an 1840 Seated Half Dime and not even a foot away was an 1876 Seated One Dime!
As I was swinging my coil over the snow-burdened grounds of this beautiful site, “Taz” started to scream at me... was it silver? I kneeled to the ground and wiped the snow from the ground and as I sat there looking down; “Half Dime” was staring right up at me! A surface find! (I love farms that till) I was in somewhat of shock because I couldn’t believe that my coil has passed right over this amazing small piece of silver! I pick it up and start swinging my coil and not even 10 seconds later I get the same signal! Right under the surface pops up the 1876 Seated Dime!
What a great day of hunting with great company! Can't wait to hang out with everyone again!
Enjoy the pics!

Mystery item... some type of charm? It’s smaller than a penny. It has a star on the top, kind of like a Christmas Tree?

Thanks A2! Happy Holidays!

Thanks Paleomaxx! I'll check what type of material it is when I get home from work... it did seems to have some type of green guilt on the bottom, I’ll try to get some better pics.

Thanks Scruggs!

Congrats on your great coins, and other finds. The surface finds are always exciting to see just sitting there. Sad for us in our area, is that a lot of the farmers have gone "no till". Still fun to hunt the fields, but the surface finds are becoming less frequent.

Thanks Trezurehunter! I have a permission on this one site where they don’t till anymore. Makes it a little rough but still a fun time! Good luck with your hunts and hope you find some more surface finds!
