A little coin shootin.....Todays Haunt

[jopher]

It poured rain all morning and when it finally stopped it was cold and windy.With a couple of hours left before dark,I talked myself into braving the elements and headed for a local oak grove that has produced a few keepers in the past.This is a small area with some apparent history(Not all good according to MichiganJay).Anyway,Jay and I have both hit this area several times and you would think we'd have it cleaned out by now.....not! In the past I have hunted this area with my DFX.....today I used my first love....my trusty IDX Classic..(wouldnt trade it for anything).With my baby cranked to the max I started pulling weak signals in areas I know have been gone over and over.In about two hours I was cold to the bone ,but I had a fist full of oldies to take home.
Total take....a little bit o clad
Nine wheats....from 1913 to 1954
two Canadian pennies,,54 and 57
1961 Rosie
1918 Merc
1895 Indian
1938 Jefferson
Hardly large cents and bust dimes but Im not complainin.
Thanks for lookin and as usual...The best of luck to all.....Joe

Joe, all that rain pushed the silver up so you could find it more easily. Good hunting and great finds!

Completly Awsome Joe, Ya know I almost decided to head out that way to see if you might be there on a nice day like today (Brrrr). Instead, decided to hit a local beach area which has produced a few nice pieces lately (unfortinately, only $1.21 today). As always, looks like you found some great keepers Let me know if/when you want to get together for a good hunt. I have a strong feeling that place has a lot more keepers to give up! Take Care, J.

Nice silver Jopher!!!

That IH is pretty sweet too!

Where from in Michigan? Hesperia here, but I'm in Iraq until mid-spring. That's cool though, I get to miss the winter (well, kinda, I'll be home for 2 weeks in January) but I'll be getting back home right when the good detecting weather's starting.

Congrats on the nice haul

Hey Jay...good to hear from you.Think the only way to get everything from that area is to dig every stinkin piece of garbage....every target.Still wonder about the low lying areas and the sports field....how long have they been just the way they are?Havent had any luck in those areas but maybe Im not looking hard enough?Ill Pm you if find myself heading over again....need to find more areas like that.......Joe

 

[Boobydoo]

Glad you got out Joe as the season's days are certainly numbered.
Superb batch of finds, a little bit of this and that to keep you interested,
congrats buddy and have a good Sunday!

 

[Gypsy Heart]

Nice job on the silver....have to hit those sites before the snow flies.

 

[birdman]

Very nice day of hunting there. Some times the machine you are most comfortable with does the trick!

 

[Kas]

Nice work. sweet silver.

 

[Big_Digger]

[rebelLT]

good hunt, good silver. Too bad you live where the seasons keep you from MD'ing. That why I wont move north of where I am now. My wife (from St Paul) says im crazy.
