Good evening fellow TNET members. Hot and dry to say the least. I'm becoming a muscle man digging this hard ground with my little trowel. It get easier at 6 inches. I started my hunt today deciding on something I should have done already, and that is buying a roll of string an boxing off the areas I have already hunted, because I know this is the only way to get at every inch of ground. Well, it started off slow and I became frustrated 2 hours in with meager finds. I wanted some coins that I know this place has. Finally 3 hours in I got a strong hit to the right. And it stayed to the right as I scanned the area. I was set in the coin mode and had the sensitivity at 3/4. After digging a large hole I pulled out a large object. I knew what it was as I had found another during the 4Th of July weekend. Sure enough out came this beauty. I have got in the habit now as not to rub the coins like I used to. But I had to see the date so I lightly scratched the dirt and it was an 1852. It's bathing in olive oil now but with a little bath in water and soap it cleaned up real nice. I also found what looks to be a wedge for splitting logs. Very crude tool and the head is slightly mushroomed. I also found my second oil lamp top, old shotgun casing, a 22 cal. shell casing, and a few other items. That circular thing has a 5 on it. When I found that I was certain it was a large cent. Thanks for looking again. I will be gone on the road for a while on a trip to Houston No more hunting until I get back. 
Thanks Ron Smith
