This is just a great place to hunt! I go to my campsite which was an old scoutcamp years ago , and is constantly giving up a number of nice finds each time I go out Detecting . My friend Tim H also has found a number of items. So as the day started Tim and I went to a ridge that we found plenty of stuff on and we started detecting going south of where we where and starting finding wheat pennies, and then finally found a silver dime in a hole with a musket ball what was that. It may have been a more modern mini from a more resent black powder rifle.
So as we continued we came to an area that looked promising, and then wham a big hit and down 2 inches a silver washington quarter and a wheat Pennie in the same hole....Now were talking! Then Tim yelled mercury dime thats good news...More Silver in the area . With Tim and his son and his friend detecting in the area we were trying to help them in finding that piece of silver that we all like to find. But they were having there difficulties. Its not easy but like they say you have to just walk over it. Thats all it takes, and as we continued I found only 10 feet away 2 more silver quarters ( 1936 washington and a Standing Liberty with no date) in the same hole only 2 inches down. Now were having fun and only 4 feet or so from those quarters I get another great hit so I call over Tims son and his friend to see if they are picking up the signals and their detector hit with no problem! Dig down and 3 inches later another silver quarter.
So now the next find was very interesting 3 small silver pieces that were part of a bracelet that who know lost it ! Was it Chubby harry or jack what a combination...each piece was only down a couple of inches and about 2 to 3 feet away from each other. Now trying to figure out the names on the bracelet were they friends or brothers or what? I will need a little help with that one!!!
But after all was done I had a good day, 8 Silver pieces ,3 silver bracelet pieces and some more wheats...Tim also found silver dimes and more wheats and a scout pin......The boys they found !!!Well a few relics from days gone past!!!! But we all had a good time! Seeker
