Ok so I finally get to go out for a hunt. Although it's super hot here, I ventured out for the first time at this location. I came acrossed an old house next to a new home. I stopped at the new home since no one was home at the other, and it turned out that the older Gent at the new house owned the old one.
During My explaining why I was there and what I was wanting to do, I find out that he's a detectorist also. He said that he has a White XLT and he's already hunted the yard thoroughly.
Then he said I could try it if I felt like just swinging. I showed him My CTX, and he swung it around a bit. Then I headed over to the other house next door.
I was there about 3 minutes and the older Gent comes over to watch. I leave it on speaker so he can hear. I scan across what sounded to Me was a can. He insisted that I dig it, so I did, and it was a melted piece of aluminum.
He starts just watching and not wanting to dig everything. He heads over to go out the gate by where I was at and I got a nice signal. I told him to hold on that this sounded good. I dig the plug, and 4" below it I see a nice silver disk smiling at Me. He was in awe. It turned out to be a 1909 Barber Dime.
I only hunted half of the yard. I'll go back this evening when it's not so hot! Anytime I'm told that the yard I'm inquiring about has already been hunted, I take it as a Great Challenge. Not to show anyone up. Just knowing that no one can find everything, and there's always something left!!!
Happy Hunting to You All!!!
Went back and scored a WW1 Great Seal button and this funny brass dragon design. If anyone has any ideas to what the brass dragon is, please share.!!! Has Me puzzled.
