Cellar Hole hunt with Big Johnny nabs Colonial Silver..

johnnyblaze · Oct 1, 2013

Got out to a site with My monster Coil "Big Johnny" to a site that threw out many early Colonial finds :icon_thumright:

Right behind the cellar i got a mixed loud tone..This coil really brings the ground alive..Pounded this area with the 5 inch coil and stock coil but missed this.

1768 Spanish Carolus..Modified :headbang:

Also got a smoked like Cheech and Chong KG Copper..

Silver thimble.

Big Flatty that looks like it could have been repaired in its day..

The usual buttons and a frog that was taking a ride on the coil...He must have been dizzy :laughing7:

Have fun out there :hello:

Ground coverage man..I hit a site real good with the stock..Then a few times with the 5 inch..Then the whole walled in site with the 15inch dd coil..

But it does supposedly get you 3-5 more inches of depth..
