Back to the 1700's homestead this time i was armed with my 4x6 coil on my VX3. I managed 3 greenies 09,16,34 Wheat's and enough square nails to put Noah's arch together. Thanks for looking

nice early wheat's. Almost got that 09- S. Still a good date to find.

I have a spot like that. I pulled three nice old coppers and a few wheaties but since then nothing but square nails and other iron.
But wheaties are always good and make a hunt good so congrats on your greenie's.

Ain't it the truth. Then as soon as the air hits them it's right back to a low grunt.
There's still something cool about pulling 200 year old nails though. I imagine some colonial pioneer type building with them.

Nails were actually a valuable commodity at one time. They were used as currency. That's how the term "penny" came about regarding nail sizes.
People would often straighten them and re use them rather than throw them away.

Gotta' look at it in a positive light sometimes even though they often get our hopes up only to dash them.
