Winter has been kind so far with mild weather and a gold ring. Stay away snow!

The old farm continues to give up a few goodies. I got out a couple of times over the last two weeks.


I was working an area that was only about 20 feet from the house, when I got a solid 51 on the Deus. At 5" when I flipped the plug over, I could see the J from the ring. The mint mark was worn down, but there is no corrosion or flaking. It's gold baby!


I wondered to myself, how did I miss this with the ETrac? It was shallow and in an obvious hot spot.


When I got home, I tested it upside down... it couldn't give me a solid TID, and it was all over the place. There' a small screw holding the stone in place. I think that may have thrown the ETrac off and made me think it was some sort of corroded beer cap. Dig everything, people....


We are heading out there again on Saturday for what could be the last hunt of the year. I am dragging out Irish Steve from Fredericton, and another friend of mine. One more silver for 2014, please!


Gold!

1915 fishie (Key-ish date), 1912 fishie and an 1899 Barber dime.

1919 10 Cents

President pin?

A nice Tombac.

Merry Christmas to all, and happy hunting if you can get out again!

Sweet silvers. The president pin may be from part of a suspender clip. Any pictures of the back?

That's a beautiful Tombac buddy. And what a nice looking ring. Keep at it bud. You'll scratch out a few more

That's covering the bases! I've been saying for over a month now it looks like it may be the last few days to get out, but this time I think there's little doubt it's the truth. With the temps dropping Tuesday it will be the end.... but hard to complain because in 14 years it's the 2nd latest we've ever hunted here, and is the latest being able to dig the entire time.

Can't say anything bad about having a day out like that, congrats on the gold and multi silver hunt.

It was two outings, Pepper. Kiddo was right, too. It is a suspender clip.

Iron Patch, we got out on January 3rd of 2014. You never know, brother! It could happen again.

Gold and silver awesome! Congrats!

Dig while the diggings good! 5 days left in the year!
