So Heavymetalnut and I decided to do get out and give it a go in some fields and cellar holes....the first part of the morning was a complete strikeout.....couldn't locate 3 different sites we spotted on the maps..( lost our bearings in a maze of trails) So we decided to find a cellar hole that was tucked away in a little lonely nook of the world.....and to our delight we found it right were it should be....but to our dismay the overgrowth and barberries were overwhelming. There wasnt hardly any room to swing the coil without getting snagged up.......BUT BUT BUT...My very very first dig-able signal was this nice 1841 O seated dime... I was very very happy with this....this coin was laying on top of a LARGE piece of iron...the prizm III has no problem separating. That was really the only target I found at this colonial briary mess. HEAVYMETALNUT ON THE OTHER HAND MADE A ASTONISHING DISCOVERY! Check his thread....what an awesome piece of history he has once again unveiled. So covered with ticks and grinning ear to ear we decided to high tail it back to the car and head to another site....STRIKE OUT...and then STRIKE OUT...so we headed to a 1720 house that has been producing some nice finds for me....I managed this shoebuckle, a button, a 1960 rosie, a silver piece of jewelery with stones, a girl scout medal, and a 1911 wheatie. All in all we both had an excellent day and had alot fun! Thanks for lookin!

Great finds.

I really like the Girl Scout medallion
 
real nice finds you guys deserve it for the gorilla hunting you do. That partner
of yours what can you say. good luck on future hunts and take care... wes
 
Still not a bad day though Sniffy, got a nice Seated and a Shoe Buckle and some other stuff. I'd be willing to bet there's another G.W. in there for you somewhere. :icon_thumleft: :wink:
 
Some really good finds you got there.
 
Great big Buckle! Nice one :hello2:
Cool piece of silver.
I think your GS medal is the 'Thin' version from WWII era,
There is information about these pins as detailed as for coin types,
three have been posted recently, I wish I had saved the webpage with details.
Congrats on a great hunt :thumbsup:
