Yesterday after work my wife and I hit a new field that had a house in it, was on 1886 map, the owner was 66 yrs old and said they never knew a house existed there, she lives right across the street.

Mrs G4E started off with the first coin 1887 indian....shortly thereafter I got my first a 1892 indian. Started hitting buttons, cool relics all over their was signals all directions for hundreds of yards, no modern trash at all.

Next I got the 1858 Flying eagle, second one this year :thumbsup:, and 4th one for me in 4 yrs. I was very happy because the previous 3 were all 1857's so I needed the 1858 for my dug set. ;D

Mrs G4E snagged another indian 1888 this time, then I got a 1849 LC, and I was happy I now had a one cent trifecta. I was thinking if I could only get a stinking wheat, I would hit a grand slam!

Well not long after I finally got a 12-40 on the etrac and I actually HOPED for a wheat....lol. Well it was! A 1913 wheat, to complete a ONE CENT GRAND SLAM! :hello2: :laughing7:

I was on cloud nine as I have NEVER gotten a grand slam ever in detecting. :headbang:

Got a sweet buckle, anyone know the age? I dug 2 whole crotal bells, and my wife got one as well. I think I got the tip of a silver spoon, it comes up at 12-44 on the etrac, most spoons even whole are lower that I have dug.

She got the last coin of the evening with a nice 1910 wheat, her first NON 1800's coin. Until that she has dug nothing this year that was not 1800's.....lol, poor girl. :laughing9:

We definately will be going back, we hunted 4 hours till it was so dark we couldn't see anything.

That is impressive, like the relics also
 
Wait, where's the memorial and the zinc?!?

Just kidding... Sweet hunt man, looks like that would have been a blast! Congrats on the sweet penny slam!!

:icon_thumright:

penny grand slam! outstanding finds!
 
Nice going on the cent slam. That is my only grand slam also. I dug a flying eagle and a wheat cent at an old park site then headed up to some cellar holes. Dug a large cent and then needed the indian head to complete the slam. I walked about 50 years up an old road bed and nailed the indian head to complete the slam. I also added a copper and zinc memorial so I figure I had a grand slam plus 2 !!!
 
:notworthy: congrats and love them bells
 
That's pretty cool to do that all in one hunt. Nice bunch of finds!
