Baldingboy and Mastereagle..First Hunt of 2011

Baldingboy · Mar 7, 2011

Well, Thursday night (March 3rd) myself and Mastereagle decided the weather had gotten nice enough to warrant a hunt. This hunt started like many of our others in years past with no decent place to go. We had an itch to scratch though, and decided to hit an old yard in town. It was small, but we decided to go slow and see what we would find. We found nothing basically, so we moved on. This house had obviously been detected before. There weren't even many "bad" signals.

We moved on to a house we hunted late last year along a busy road. We always go there late at night (after dark) to not attract attention. I hate loosing a place to another detectorist along a busy road. This place had a few signals, and we were looking forward to the hunt. Mastereagle found a cool metal squirt gun as well as probably 10 wheats. He also managed a cool Felix the Cat Pin from around the 20's probably. I actually think the pin might have fallen off his hair when he pulled his headlight off. All of you from the CTH hunt probably remember how he wore his hair up in dog ears while he hunted. It's shameless really. :help:

Well, here is what I found. I think Mastereagle has my detector settings goofed up since he was messing with it. I couldn't get a good signal to latch on to save my soul. He was gloating all night about the wheats he was finding and said I just needed to put in more time with my detector. I punched him in the brain. I had to hit his head about 75 times to find it. :icon_scratch:

I managed a Western Xpert Shell Brass; a military Star Pin; 1941 Nickel; 1948 Wheat; Aluminum Play Money marked 25; Shell Casing (modern); Rolled Copper (Plumb Weight?) and what I believe to be part of a toy spur. The thing at the top middle I thought might be a bullet jacket, but I am not sure. Thanks for looking.

Well I will post my finds tonight maybe........

In regards to this post all I can say is I was happy to be out detecting again. Found 7 wheats NOT 10. 1927-1945 my favorite is a 1936. The Felix the Cat pin has seen much better days as has the old squirt gun.

As far as Tom's settings go, he still hasn't figured out I taped a 8 penny nail to his coil using black tape. Hey I gotta do what I gotta do to keep finding the good stuff... :wink:

BB was going to throw his play coin in the trash. He says to me "It's just worthless junk" The coin clearly has a big 25 on the front and the back it says PLAY COIN. He needs glasses but he won't admit it!

Oh well maybe this week we will get out and finding something really exciting.

You really think I need glasses? :glasses11:

I think its just because you can hardly see that on the aluminum. I am so used to digging <scat> that I pass everything off as trash anymore. :-[

I don't think you need glasses, I know you do. As proof remember the other night when we stopped to get some food between detecting sites and you kept flirting with the woman you thought might be a little hairy

?? That was NO woman!!!! :laughing9:

Yeah, I know. How embarrasing it was to find out that was your wife. By the way, I will never say you can't fit 12 Cheeseburgers in your mouth ever again.

Woodland,
We always have a great time….we must…because we seldom find good stuff!

I was looking at all of the boring gold coin and silver posts and had to smile when I saw the title of your post. Honestly, you guys are a hoot. I'm glad you got to get out and find some goodies. Have a great day!!!
