Took a break from the 1840 homesites and went on a search for a 1900 loggging camp I found on an old map. About a mile hike straight up but I found it and maybe the first one there with a detector considering what was found in 4 hours. 2 IH pennies, 1896,1896, a 1907 V nickel, 2 Buffalo’s. 2 neat silver plated spoons, one from 1904 worlds fair, were the better finds. 2 F995042C-43ED-414F-AB8E-4A102F63A5E3.jpeg I will be taking these 60 yr old legs back again before the woods get to thick.

It's always great to hit a site that's rich in targets and recovering a few real nice keepers, well done.
What is it with these 60yrs old legs, I always thought they had a lifetime warranty on them when I was 20 yrs old. :)

So true. My mind wants to go back today. My legs and joints are in full rebellion. 20 yr old me would already be there this morning digging. 60 yr old me is drinking coffee and on the forum talking about it...

awesome job! yeah, unfortunately, not everyone ages well. something about the wear and tear on the body from our invincible years adds up....oh wait, it actually subtracts a lot from us LOL. But all kidding aside, you managed to find some very nice finds
