Went back to the old 1845 farm that I felt was nearly hunted out. Found out some new areas were opened up to me due to winter die off of landscaping and the intentional removal of some plantings. Found a 1909 wheat right off the bat, no S or VDB from what I can see. The excitement soon ended as no more coins were found. I then decided to turn down the descrimination and dig iffy signals in the area where I found large cents, 2 cents etc.. Near the ancient old hemlock I locked onto a solid coin reading. I figured it must have been a recent drop as I had hammered this area. Uh oh, it only reads coin swinging side to side and not front to back. That's usually a bad sign, but I said I'd dig iffys, so here goes. Flip the hinged chunk of sod back and standing on edge is a 1836 Large Cent. Whoo Hoo!

. This weekend date was set long before I herd of the meeting. As a board member, I felt I should attend. Otherwise, I wouldn't miss it. The place was a show cave way back and a saltpeter mine during the war of 1812 and the civil war. I'll bring my detector with me as well
