My honey hole

[Pooley]

I have hunted this place now for about 2 months strictly on the weekends and today I found my first 2 wheaties (1955-d, 1920) along with 4 dimes (clad) and 10 memorials. To date, this house has produced about 15 quarters, 5 nickles, 17 dimes, 2 wheaties, 2 childrens rings and countless pull tabs and other misc junk. Will try and get a good picture of the wheaties to post.

yeah, its a nice peacful spot and good bass fishing in the lake in back, ?the only drawback is that the place is kind of overgrown and I get those little "hitchhikers" stuck to my socks and shoe laces. ?That house will be tore down in a few months and a new house put up on its place so I should be able to find that ever elusive silver when they start clearing the place off. ?The home was built in the 30's-40's and I know there has to be silver there. ?I have found several dimes and quarters ?from 1965 and 1966 just no silver yet. ?I hunted that place hard with my old whites and now going back over everything with my ACE250. ?Will keep my finds updated

Looks like easy digging in that kinda soil. Bet that is saving you a lot of time and effort.

 

[Pooley]

the toughest part is cutting through the roots of the grass but once you get the plug out of the way you just use your hands

 

[allen]

looks like a prime detecting spot, good luck. keep on digging !!!

 

[Pooley]

going back over there this evening. Hopefully I will find some more old stuff and hopefully some silver.

Awesome! Hope it's a big producer for you. When they start dozing, keep your eyes open. Let them take off about 6 or 8 inches and have at it. You will definitely find that elusive silver. Good Luck.

Its a Whites GEB Discriminator sold by sears, i think its late 70s, I picked it up for 20 bucks. Hit the house again for about 45 minutes and found 4 dimes (clad) and 9 memorial pennies. On the back side of the house my boss has already took off some of the topsoil and its piled up in a big burn pile with tree limbs and weeds. Cannot get to it to search, to many sticks and stuff and probably snakes. Will go back over there tomorrow morning for a bit

Went to the honey hole this morning for about an hour and found 2 more wheaties , 1 clad dime and 5 memorial pennies, silver soon. Ran into a guy detecting at a local elem school, he had a spectrum xlt that he paid $100 for at a yard sale, some people have all the luck!!! Anyways, he told me of a few places that he hunts and continues to find silver. Will be hitting those this afternoon if I can sneak away froma family dinner

I have hunted a very small section of the shore area and found some old clad quarters and dimes but no silver there. There use to be another old farmhouse out in the field but I do not know the exact location because it was bulldozed over.
