Easter Abe Hunt

[Seawulff]

Well,

My Easter hunt turned out be an Easter Abe hunt, as I found 11 Wheaties this weekend. Nothing too crazy for most of you I know, but I've only found 15 Wheaties in my whole metal detecting career. I still gotta clean the wheats up better and check the dates, but I think the oldest is a 1920

Also was able to score a Rosie. And I found this nice little Sterling Silver necklace. Found a junk ring too that I didn't show.

The first location gave me 5 Wheaties, the Rosie, and the necklace. I've hunted this location before and gotten a Rosie there before, some wheats and a silver ring. This is a fairly big location so I will becoming back to this one, as there is still plenty of ground left to cover there.

The other location coughed up 6 wheats, and the junk ring, but amazingly no silver. I was kind of stumped on that one. It's a friends yard (use to be his grandparents home, and an older home). So I'll probably hunt it again someday. I was really expecting to land Silver though.

I did hunt an old farm field I've hunted previously, but still nothing much there. Gave up after awhile and hunted arrow heads (w/o the detector of course, ). Found a few halfsies but no full pointers.

Seawulff,
nice group of finds.

11 Wheaties on one weekend, take those any time.
Finding all those wheaties you would think more silver around;
sure would hit those locations a lot more.

Congrat on the silver,
silver is always nice.

have a good un.......

I like all your finds! I've been detecting over one year and have dug only 6 wheaties; got some more from checking coin rolls from the bank, but digging them feels nuch more exciting. I like the simplicity of the silver cross you dug. When detecting those old places, remember to eyeball scan the surface of the ground. I've only found one silver coin but it was an eyeball surface find and is a 1923 Peace silver dollar! Looked like a dusty old poker chip lying in the dirt. Welcome to t-net, you've got a great start!
