Great trip to lexington kentucky

[don]

My hunting buddy Arthur and I took a trip to Lexington Kentucky from Toronto Canada over the weekend.
We met up with a terrific host Jamie (1320)who lives near Lexington, to do some detecting.
we had a great time doing some churches a couple schools and a civil war site
and a few city parks.
we had good success at this one church and school.
we got skunked at the civil war site.
but it was still fun having the chance to detect such a site.
I managed at the church 3 mercs 1 lg cent 1811-17 1 Indian head 1905 and a whack of Wheaties. and a nice 14k yellow gold wedding ring.
the coins in that part of Kentucky seem to go real deep. most of the oldies were 6- 10" I got the Indian at 9.5" and many Wheaties were 8".
the clad was deep as-well 0-8" at most locations.
the parks in Lexington seem to have been hunted pretty Good. we only managed newer clad, It was raining the day we hit the parks in Lexington and we only detected for a few hours, so I'm sure we would have found some oldies eventually.
we will be making this a yearly thing.
we have made a new good friend.
Thanks Jamie for the great time.

we were surprised only to find a few Wheaties at this church
Jamie lives near hear and cleaned up the yard of all the long brush and weeds
ether the coins are deep or someone has gotten there a long time ago. ( it is on a busy road )
Jamie did a great job clearing the land.

 

[don]

this is the site of the civil war activity
no luck there
Jamie did manage a Merc dime.
