First Post Since Accident. 1898 Barber Quarter, Wheats, CW Button And Relics.

Hi everyone,

Feeling alot better now. It's been 9 days since I got that bad cut. It's healed up well but not fully yet.

I went out only 5 days after the cut. Pretty hard detecting and digging with just one arm basically.

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get out though.

Me and a friend early Saturday mourning decided to head out u.s rt 30 to hunt some old sites.

There are alot of old places out and along that high way. Our luck though wasn't on our sides that day.

We had a awesome site picked out to hunt. We get to the site to find out the whole lot had been graveled over some years ago.

It was disappointing. It was a solid stone structured building and I know it was old.

We checked a few other sites but we didn't have the time to pull a all dayer.

I knew of a old park though on the way back home. I had luck there in the past.

I found a few barbers and some Indians and wheat's and such there last year.

I knew of a little section in the woods of the park that produced.

Well I was right. I dug a nice 1898 barber quarter there about 9 inches deep. My friend wasn't to happy.

He had just walked right over the same area with a dfx and missed it. I had a 1400 coil on the unit and have it tweaked to the max.

I set his up to be stable and easy for him to run. He found 3 wheat's and so did I.

He claimed I set his to not find silver. I said yeah right. It all comes down to patience and experience witch he lacks in both categories.

Yesterday I thought I had one of those brilliant ideas to go cellar hole hunting. Man I was I wrong.

Me and my boys fought alot of heavy brush just to get to one of my sites. We got there a few hundred cuts later.

First hole I dug a 1912 wheat. I then got a really tiny civil war general service eagle cuff button.

I also found on the map 2 other cellar holes. But there was no way for me to look for them right now.

I'll have to wait for the fall weather to hit the thick woods.

I'll keep looking. There are still finds to be made in the open areas.

Thanks for looking,

HH Jeremy

Thanks alot everyone.

It's gonna take more than a cut to stop me.

Although I am more cautious now.

Your right Mirage, I think he just missed it. It can happen easily. Even something bigger than a quarter can get missed.

The mosquitos are brutal right now.

Thanks again,

Jeremy

Thanks Post,

Man I'm glad to I'm almost better.

I've really been taking a beating lately. From cuts to bruises to be stings you name it.

My luck was never this bad.

But as long as my treasure hunting luck is still on my side it even's it out.

Hang in there. You'll have your day. It's tuff but rememeber there is still alot of treasure out there every where.

Good Luck,

HH Jer
