Hello fellow hunters,

Wow, what a beautiful December day today was, 50 degree's ain't bad 14 day's before Christmas!

Back to the old Happy Trails site today. We thought the ground would still be froze, WRONG! It was great.

Gary bought a new 9x12 coil for his ACE 250 and it really does work great. He started off finding a 1912 D Barber Dime, went a couple of feet and popped out another Barber dime 1911. Altogether he found a 1957 Washington Quarter, a 1941 Mercury Dime, a 1935 Buffalo nickel and 5 Wheat pennies. He also found a Bracelet and a earring with a skull on it.

I found 3 Washington Quarters 1938, 1943 & 1964, a 1945 Mercury dime, a 1945 Roosevelt Dime, a 1943 P War nickel, a 1935 Buffalo nickel and 10 Wheat pennies. I also found a 5 inch long knife, with the blade open 8 1/2 inches long, now that will blow your headset off!

Of course we both found lots of clad coins, but most of them where in the early 1960's range. You get a good signal and dig down around 6 inches and out pops a Memorial penny, and then you look at the date and it's a 1961, you were oh so close.

Well hope you made it out today and also found some great finds.
HH all, Ringfinder

P.S. I'm also including a picture of the car I found a few days ago and forgot to include it in my post then.

That car looks familiar!!



Great coins!....I like my 9x12 too, but it doesn't pinpoint anywhere near as tight as the stock coil. I still take it with me everywhere and use it when not in trashy areas.

Thanks Dan, that was a surprise to see another car just like the one I found. Now all we need is a blue one, LOL.

Thanks Jack, I'll tell Gary you said he could keep your bracelet! :)

Too everyone else thanks for looking at our post. Hope you enjoy our finds as much as we do
