Ironhorse and I started the day visiting a farmer IH spoke with in the Spring about a field where there is suppose to be a buried cannon. He lead the way, and we didn't find it today, but the story is better than the typical treasure tale, so because of that and now that we seen the site, we can use our early 1900s aerial photos to determine the path the cannon went when they tried to move it years ago. Get this, my first hit when I turn on the detector was a large iron broad axe... got the heart pumping for a second. :laughing7:

After that we tried several fields, a couple which were huge and got NOTHING but a marble... which I forgot about until writing this. I guess it's kinda cool if you like marbles. ;D

Having quite enough of the silent treatment we hit our NJ field and it didn't give up much either but I did dig the early to mid. 18th century French bale seal. I have quite a few so am always happy to add one to the collection. We left there in time to get a good 1.5 hours in a new field, but one we've driven by many many times. New site, enough to get our diggin fix for the day and I hit the 37th. I dug one of these about 7 years ago and would prefer something different, but nice seeing it come up all the same.


jeeze it's hard to write when you're burnt out from tectin. I should be doing this on some rest. (started the day at 5am)
Trying again tomorrow! Don't have any plan... but I might get up very early and try to make one.

You either want a mint one, or something else, or you should. I have a very hard time finding something different because a lot of the same ones turn up here. But a good upgrade is cool.

Yes, it's nice to have both! For me I don't care, just need an upgrade and almost any example will be that.

Good Luck Today. The large broad axe would have made my day. All the iron I've dug over years and I have yet to find one of those.

Your pile of goodness in the pic above is better than I have done in my last few hunts combined. I am not worried though........ You will pull through with some kind of killer find to put us all in awe :o Hopefully I can copy you ;D

A typical day in your country is finding a Revolutionary war button. Fact and proven many times over. ;D With that off my mind, good luck tomorrow and I hope your dreams come true, whether it be impregnating a super model or hunting with your buddy. ;D :laughing9:
