The three detectateers got out to a new site. Kyle has been sputtering about this spot for awhile. We have been honing it down for millions of years it seems. We nailed it just recently. Great job Snicket! After I called the landowner last week and spoke to him in great detail I secured permission for us to hunt this site for our little group. He wanted to meet us so we drove out there yesterday and presented ourselves as the respectable and very professional detectorists that we are. Once again folks we made friends with a very cool landowner. We got out this morning to hunt the spot and it wasn't long and I was pulling buttons and other old relics out of the ground. Down at the bottom of the hill I got a M on dime on the awesome analog. 7 inches of doit later a Draped Bust LC. Pretty good shape. I can see a 1 and a 7 so it's a 1700's coin. A couple of buttons later I got another dime analog reading at 4 inches. A lovely green disk was seen in the hole. I yelped "Copper" and another draped bust to boot. Another perfect 1864 injun and an 1892 injun was also found .One of my colonial buttons is a Quarter size. Lots of cool relics were found. I can't wait to go back. The landowner is very cool. He said as we were leaving " You guys are coming back next week aren't you? " I conveyed "You better believe it my man" I can't wait

Gotta love it. A few weeks ago I was invited in for beer at one place, and the other day cold drinks and would have been lunch too but the poor ole fella just lost his wife in Dec.. (apparently he can't cook? Nice guy though) We feasted on Colonial buttons, copper, and silver instead. :D

Anyplace those early large cents pop up is the place you gotta be! :thumbsup:

Great stuff. I haven't found a drapped bust anything yet. Someday.....

It's great to have someone who is good at securing permission. I'm not the best at it. A skill that is highly underrated. ;D
