Today I took my buddy Wes out to a field I was recently given permission to hunt. I've been out there a couple times and found a few keepers and we were hoping to find a few more today. The day started off hot with a 1940 Silver Washington quarter after about 10 mins of hunting. Pulled up a few flat buttons and then a while later I got a good 11-45 signal on the E-trac. Dug down about 4 inches and out popped the 1926 Merc! About 30 mins after that I got a sweet sounding 11-37 at 4 inches. Thought for sure I was going to pull up a zinc penny, but to my surprise I popped out my first 2 cent piece. The pictures don't show the detail very well and its hidden somewhat by years of sitting in a fertilized field, but it's an 1864 2 cent piece. This one got me excited!!! You just don't see too many of them. Then just before we left I found my fifth and final flat button of the day. Says, "BENEDICT & COE" "BEST D. GILT" on the back. Also found a cut round ball on the day. Pretty successful hunting today! I felt bad today as the host of the hunt as Wes didn't make it outta the field with much to brag about. I stole all the loot before he could get to it. Sorry Wes! I'll let you find the goods next time!
Happy Hunting everyone!
