This morning I met up with DPBob, Kimsdad and Watercolor for some woods hunting action. We started off in an old picnic grove that I have hunted like a dozen times and never found anything but clad and 2 or 3 Wheaties and tons and tons of trash. After about 30 min I punched into the woods and just started to detect wherever I could as the undergrowth was out of control. That lasted about another half hour then I decided to go deeper into the woods where on earlier hunts I found some old Boy Scout camp sites. I wandered around for about an hour digging old pistol and rifle slugs and shotgun shells when I happened upon a huge tree where I got a great silver signal. It wasn't very deep so I made short work of it and before I knew it I saw a 1920d Mercury dime peeking up at me. That was a relief, as I haven't ever found any silver in these particular woods. 2min later and like 6 feet away I got a nickel signal at about 4 or 5 inches, it was a 1917 Buffalo. Then like 1 min later I found a 1925 Wheatie. That's all I found out there and everyone else had bumped to another set of woods just across the street.

Well same thing, I detected for about 2 hours just finding memorials when I got my 4th oldie for the day. Down like 4 or 5 inches was an 1896 Indian Head penny so I was really happy. It was funny, Watercolor was walking/detecting his way over to see my IH when he got a deep dime signal, it turned out to be a 1920's Merc like 10 feet away from me. I ended the day just digging deep pistol slugs and other garbage trying to find deep iffy signals. It was a great hunt and everybody found great finds.

Nice finds in the woods. The movie makes it so much more authentic
 
Congratulations, i love hunting the woods and fields.
 
Good job! Keep the videos coming, that's how I found this site and they are fun to watch. I found a 1902 IH last Saturday, I'm hooked for sure.
 
Great video and finds as always :icon_thumleft: I think you got a Boy Scouts First Class pin.
 
Also, just commenting on the video you're going to find arrowheads most of the time close to creeks and rivers all over. Is there any water like a creek or a river near the park? Indians stayed close to water at all times. I've got 200 acres in southwest Texas and it has an indian camp on it, and running right next to the camp is a river bed that holds pockets of water. There is about 5 rockshelters next to the camp. I've found over a hundred artifacts on my land, some dug and some surface finds. Good luck on your next time out. :icon_thumleft:
 
Enjoyed another great video. Congrats on those good finds.
