Hey guys! I recently got out to a permission that I obtained at an 1820s homesite and quickly learned that the place had been hit before. Whoever had hit this spot left a ton of low tones as well as all of the large high tone coke can type signals as well. Little did they know they left me one heck of a nice find. I still ended up with some other great finds such as a flat button and a nice cw bullet. The find of the day had to be this nice chunk of silver from a very ornate decorative piece. If I had to guess I would say it is part of a sterling mirror handle. Either way it was a lot of fun getting out with friends on a new adventure. I usually video my hunts and you can find me on YouTube as "beep seeker" check me out if you get a chance. This hunt was filmed as well.

Same here! This place had been captured by the union army during the war so either way it was worth the trio to swing the coil. I dont think I'm done with this place yet. The city manager informed me that there are possibly cw trenches in the woods, but that will be a winter project for us for sure.

Thanks guys! I was seriously expecting a coke can lol it rang up around a 34 on the 600. It was funny because I dug a coke can about 3ft away.

Congratulations on the big silver, very cool piece. With the history of the property I would be digging everything including the big iron. BOL on returning hunts
