Got into the woods early on Thursday to hunt for relics and managed 4 hours before we walked out. Hitting 2 sites produced some representative relics: 2 round balls, 2 flat buttons, a 'fatty' Indian Head Cent, a horse harness gag loop, a ring with wording on the band that says "For A Friend". Late in the hunt I recovered a small silver disk; it is a very worn trime dating 1853 or 1852.

Thanks Locke. The site is not too bad to hunt. No briars, just tall grass, making it hard to swing.

Thanks RVRoamer66. It has been a good 'run' here in August, mostly relic hunts, which is what I like the best.

Thanks CreakyDigger. We really are digging almost everything here, so we did get some horse shoes and big iron yesterday. I was using an Equinox 600. I have to say that the only really strong target was the brass gag loop.

Nice trime there! The un-named item looks to be the liner of a pocket knife.
