Hey guys, first let me start by saying how much I miss coming on here as much as I used to, this has been one hell of a busy past 7 months for me. Taking on a 2 story addition on my house virtually alone takes 99 percent of my spare time. Any how I slipped out for a couple hours at my aunts house and fared out very well. Man this 2 and a half hour hunt is just what I needed after a few months of not hunting. Got a dime trifecta, 9 wheats, a 1925 buffalo, hem weight, some relics and the find of the day 1828 Half Cent!, first 1800s coin of 2016 for me and first copper of the year for me! 39640-2.jpg 39629-1.jpg 39632-1.jpg 39635.jpeg 20160727_204643.jpg

That's the kind of hunt I need, Sweet hunt!! A dime trifecta and a half cent with some nice detail, not to mention the buff and wheats.
Congrats!! You need to make a little more time for another hunt.

Thank you jeff, with this year's limited detecting time I was beginning to think I wouldn't get a copper this year. This one came out a pleasant surprise

Are you kidding?! Down by you they didn't bother with lil' 'ol half cents. They were too busy dropping handfuls of Spanish!

Kidding aside, coppers by you are pretty scarce from what I understand.

WTG cj, :headbang: looks like you had a good place to hunt. I need one of those soon. Praying for rain since it's way too dry to detect permissions in town.
