COLD COLONIAL CELLAR HOLE HUNT WITH SNIFFY

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

got up to a few new cellar holes sites with sniffy.digging was still a bit rough in some areas.
I got a few nice buttons,a old carriage name plate and a broken bridle rosette.that D-buckle locked on quarter at 4 inches and had my heart pumpin! sniffy got the find of the day a nice 1883 seated dime. I'm sure he will be posting pics soon of it!
2010 large copper count>>O
I just want to thank Krom & snowy for the beautiful framed metal detectorists prayer they sent.below is a pic of it in my entertainment center.
what awesome people! thank you again!

Those are some great digs dude! The buttons are awesome. I found the exact same one a while back...the heavy one with the crown and "Double Gilt" on it, but not in the shape that yours is in.

Most of the cellar holes near me are so trashy with iron that they are almost undetectable, yet I see you are cruising along using the 9.5 inch coil. What's up with that? Are yours fairly clean?

alot are trashy neil.but i'm so comfortable with my 950 coil and i guess i know what it's tellin me.if around the lip is too trashy i fan out away from the hole.i try to work the lip though.
