Made it out a couple times over the weekend to some 1800’s map dots in the woods. Definitely in full jungle mode now.

I think this is a hut from the oil boom in the early 1900’s.

Some sightseeing.
First find was the best find. Must not have been circulated long as my typical Barber is very worn.

20’ away on the same ridge, 2 more well preserved coins.

Next cool find was a scratchy signal but repeatable and “round”.

Found a couple flat buttons, one with no back markings and this little cuff button with Double Gilt.

Always like finding these suspender clasps, they sound like a silver quarter on my machine.

Good luck out there!

Lol, I've been doing more youtube uploads than anything. Takes up lots of time on the editing side of things but it sure is addictive.

Looks like that Barber was made yesterday. Is the image on the Barber supposed to be a woman or a man? Teddy Roosevelt came along an hated it. He fired Barber as the head of the mint and had Augustus St. Gaudens hired and new coins were designed. Gary
