Hi everyone,

Things been slow the past 10 days. Decided to make sure I worked out the cellar hole where I came up with the 1913 barber quarter a week ago or so.

There are still signals there but the coins and good relics are far few and in between. I do have a idea of another area I saw a bunch of foundations at.

But I need to be with a few hunters. The area is really bad. I mean bad. I went there today alone with my son. And I saw a bum living in one of the foundations. No lie he had his clothes hung on a old coat hanger.

When I saw that I knew it was time to get out of there. The site looked really good though. I'd be fine with a guy or 2 there. It still needs to die out more also.

The finds I did make at the cellar hole was a 1890 Indian and a 1893. I got a nice 1916 buffalo and a 48 Jefferson. 3 wheat's and a token that was destroyed. It was some kind of member check token from some old store.

I did get a nice flat button and a colonial era buckle. The one with the three sharp teeth on one side. It's crazy this site. Last year I hunted the area right.

The front yard gave all the colonial finds and large cents and such. Then the back of the place had all late 1800's stuff and early 1900's stuff. This site has been occupied more than once.

I believe it to be around from 1820's to the 40's or 50's of the 1900's. This place is large and still has a solid stone structured building still standing in the middle of the woods.

I'm waiting for a few more weeks here so things can die out a little more. Then I'll get into some newer areas.

Thanks for looking,

HH Jer

Another batch of great finds pal. Except for the coins, the stuff you're digging looks a lot like what I'm digging. I think lumberjacks must have super glued their coins to their underwear or something. They sure didn't lose many.

Nice finds! Yep, I dig a ton of shells as well...pain in the a$$!
 
Thanks alot everyone.

Mirage, your right. By the time it all dies out it will be oftly cold out. I'm also tiered of the mosquito's also. I hate having to wear bug off all the time. It's not good for you.

I read a recent article about why mosquito's like some people more than others. It stated that the more steroids in your system the more they are attracted to you.

It also said the amount of cholesterol in your skin. They are 2 things that attract them. And sweat they love to.

Ceejay, I give all the non silver coins a peroxide and tooth pick bath. Once I remove all or most of the dirt I apply a product to them called mothers mag and aluminum polish. Safe for all metals.

It smooths out the original patina. Or you can buff a item back to it's original luster. It works great. You can get a can at walmart or any parts store. 4.00 for a small can and 8.00 for a large.

Michigan, you are right. Not to many coins to be had. If you want alot of old coins yards and old parks are the place to be. Relic hunting is good when there are nice relics to be found.

I just take everything as it comes. I have a few weeks at a time where coins are slow. Then all the sudden I'll find 30 in one weekend. That's what keeps me going. Never knowing what that next hit may bring.

The shells are a pain. But I'd take a shell over a piece of trash any day.

Jer ,that is a lot of loot!! Man I want one of those old buckles! Love the coins also. :)
 
really nice finds, hope you get some more.
 
Thanks guys,

Birdman I'm surprized you haven't found any really nice old one's where your at. You seem to be getting everything else.

It will happen you'll find a awesome buckle when you least expect it.
