Chautaqua Finds CZ-3D

[mikefromIllinois]

hunter a field with my CZ-3D where the Methodist held camp meetings the last week of August from 1864-1910. There were also picnics held here over the years. Spent about 4 weeks here averaging 4 to 5 hrs a day 3 days a week. Worked it first with my 8" coil then went back and hit with 5" coil and managed to pull out a few more keepers where they say some corrals stood. Field was about 12 acres where these were held. Find's consisted of 11 silver dimes,1 half dime (1871),1 1898 "O" silver quarter,2 two cent pieces, 5 shield nickels,1 V nickel and 25 Indian heads with dates from (1859-1902) Thanks for looking. There is a part 2 on here that has more coins it would only let me put 12 up at a time the name of it is " Chautaqua finds more"
