Getting Permission and Hunting Day ( One Strange Find ) & 1867 2 cents

Hi everyone,
Well Gary and I went hunting this afternoon. We started off at a site I knew held an old church.
We stopped at the farmers house and talked to him for awhile and he told us that his barn used to be
the church and that they had moved it to his farm. The church sat about 200 yards. from his house in what
is now a cornfield. He gave us permission to hunt the site.

Well we hunted and hunted and hunted, it was really tough going. We both dug some bullets, fence wire,
beer cans of course, site is along a highway and just plain trash.

I was hunting along and got this signal, started to dig and What The Heck is That Look was on my mind.
Well I took a picture of this item and am not sure I can post it on here, think it might be " R " rated ha ha.
It was a Personal Massager. I don't think I have ever seen one posted on here or anywhere else.

Well if anyone wants the picture let me know, I'll send it to you. LOL

Well we told the farmer that we would come back to this site next spring when he works down the field.

Went down the road a piece to an old log cabin site I used to hunt. Got permission from the farmer who owns that site and started hunting. Gary found lots and lots of pull tabs there. Must have been antique pull tabs.
I found a 1934 Mercury dime and 4 wheat pennies. Gary said he had about all the fun he could stand at this site and we moved on down the road to a Wooden one Room Schoolhouse that I had permission to hunt.

We both did a little better there. Gary found 3 IH"s, don't know the dates and a token that says something about cough syrup on it. I found one more wheat penny and a 1940 Canadian penny and a 1867 Two Cent Piece, in really rough condition.

Hope you all had a great Sunday, and found some goodies too. HH, Ringfinder

Re: Getting Permission and Hunting Day ( One Strange Find )

I don't know how you do it! I can never find pennies or any coins older than 1980's that aren't completely eroded... must be the soil. Great finds!
 
Re: Getting Permission and Hunting Day ( One Strange Find )

LoL no I have not seen anyone post finding that type of a find before.

Great set of coins. Looks like persistance paid off well in the end.

Congratulations,

All of the new pennies look like crap after just few months in the soil around where I live. Most of the older items like silver coins come out usually like they went in the ground. Coins like the 2 cent piece and Indian head pennies that are found in plowed and fertilized grounds usually look bad also. Most of the time I try not to clean these old coins because they just get worse. If they are key dates I never clean them.

Not sure where you live, but you can ask a lot of guys on here for information on your neck of the woods. They will tell you, research always helps. I like to relic hunt and do a lot of my detecting in fields around my area.
Maybe in your town they are tearing up sidewalks in an old area of your town, look there. Maybe they are tearing down an old home in your town, get permission to hunt the grounds. The old finds are out there, you just have to look for the older places in your area to detect.

Also not sure what kind of detector your using. Might help if you slow down and listen for those really low signals you are hearing in your headset, you are using a headset aren't you. All these things add up. Hope I've helped you some and when you start finding those really old coins, let us all know.

Good Luck and HH, Ringfinder

Hey Ringfinder
Nice 2 cent piece. Around here the older pennies always look better than the clad, the older injuns especially.
