Day 2 at my new Civil War Site

[MonkeyBoy]

Went back out this afternoon, much better digging with the rain we have had!! Having some issues with powerlines but it is what it it is...

Pick up some more lead and one NY button.. left it in the dirt clod till I got home... it was in sections but at least the paper was still in good shape.. have not cleaned it yet.. just a quick dry brush.. looks like there is a little gold left.. Not sure what the iron triangle piece is.. not right for a big iron spike Cleaned all the bullet bases... all plain.

I think a button and some bullets make for a good hunt. I have yet to have trouble under the lines but I hunt with an older model with a frequency shift.
Nice hunt.

I tried shifting on the v3i.. but there was a transformer literally right above my head!! It helped some but limited how much I could crank up the machine.. farther away was not much of an issue... but it was right on the hilltop where I found most of the relics. Dropping into single freqs help a little too it seemed..

Nice recoveries. Is that a flat button on the top right? Anything on it? Great site you have.

You can borrow my Etrac Marc. LOL I had to say it buddy.
Hey , those are some decent finds, I'd say!
Good to see you posting again.

Sure... mail it to me!! now this was with the 12" coil.. and I tend to run my machines too hot as it is!! The area that had the only interference that was really bugging me was right at the transformer.. which was about where I dug the only button!! (Maybe why the relics were mainly around there.. if it had been hunted in the past?) The rest of the field was clean.. using the 10" DD was fine with the settings tuned down a bit.. honestly.. the most annoying thing about this spot is it is right next to a road that EVERYONE seems to toss out empty beer cans along.. and having once been a farm.. some of them were turn down pretty deep. The deepest bullet I dug as only 8" give or take... so once I clear out some more of the trash I'll hit it with the TDI and get those 3 or 4 plates that are down deep!! ;-)

Nice hunt MB Those are the things that get the blood pumping. IF they are there, they're plates not too far away! Congrats bud

 

[Tnmountains]

If anybody is going to kick out some plates..it will be Monkeyboy.

Hmmm.... Have Etrac.... will travel!

I'd love to see a comparison of the Etrac vs that TDI in those conditions.

Great finds!
