Great Hunt with Friends (alot of Pics)

[KenPa]

As TnT2000 and MarkGPa already said, We had a great time hunting a new site that TnT got permission to hunt. I took a few pictures of the hunting conditions through the briars and heavily wooded areas that we detected.
It was almost funny to hear the screams comming out of the brush when someone got caught up in the stickers, including a few screams of my own.
There were some better sounding screams when someone pulled a large copper out of the dirt.
Although it was tough hunting, we all had a great time, and thank you to TnT and his family for there hospitality.
Here are some pics of the conditions. I got a picture of TnT, MarkG, and JohnnyMc as we were ready to leave hoping for one more find on the way back to the truck.
I was able to manage 15 musket balls, a 1904 IH (bad shape), and an 1801 Large cent that is worn but still can see the date, and 4 buttons. 2 have no markings and 1 has what I believe is a star on it and the small one has a backmark but I cant make out the letters. I also got a flat piece of lead which may be a skirt weight.
Thanks for looking
Ken

Great pics !! Great post !!! I have had some luck arround local grown up cellar holes with my sniper coin. The smaller coil lets me get between the briars. It is also amazing how lilac bushes can spread in 100 years.

That spot was found by TnT2000 and I know he did alot of research about the possibility of a mid or late 1700's fort there and he was able to get permission from the land owner.

Yes I was hunting in relic mode. I started in coin and jewlery mode and wasn't finding much.

Ouch, I'm screaming just looking at the pictures! Nice finds Ken. How did you guys find that spot Thanks for the post. HH

Great finds Ken. Those briars finally gave up the goods. Congrats on some very nice pieces.
I'm going to have to try briar hunting myself. I see a lot of finds on TN lately have been in the thickets.
