KG III & Draped Bust Half Cent At Pounded Out Site

I got out with Kyle to a pounded out site. We have been hitting this spot on and off for 11 months. Our XL Pros found over 20 coppers in this small field alone. My new Whites Vision was going to have a go at it. We started across the street at another field that found a few good colonials. As soon as I started My vision beeped my ear off at a +5 VDI and my meter said 5 inches deep and Tombac. Thats what it was , a small Tombac button. We separated ourselves into this huge field where an hour later I realized that I lost my Vibraprobe. UUUG !!! Do you know what it's like trying to backtrack in a field of cutoff cornstalks looking for a vibraprobe that looks just like the stalks? A needle in a haystack that's what. Finding that would have to wait. I soon went back over the other side of the street to the small bean field. Wasn't detecting long when a nice signal 4 and a half inches deep and 70 VDI and KG / Half cent was staring me in the face on the meter. Nice 1807 Draped Bust Half cent. 20 minutes after that 74 VDI and about the same depth turned out to be the KGIII. I sure don't like to talk down to our XL Pros but this Vision found these coins in an area we hammerd and hammered many many times.I also found a huge dropped musketball and 1 shot This sounds like a commercial for the new Whites Vision but I can't help it....If the shoe fits then wear it. After finding that last coin I went back over to find my pinpointer and was endlessly looking and praying that I would differenciate it from the millions of cornstalks that were in front of me. Kyle joined me and eventually found it. What a relief. I didn't feel like forking out another 130 bucks on top of the $1500 I already just spent on my Vision. Well it looks like a new spot will be loaded into the breach this weekend. My vision waits eagerly.

Thanks Romeo. It was smacked by the plow but that's common in a field with history going back to the 1790's.

Nice finds Chris. Looks like you and the Vision are going to become good friends. Might have to give the xlpros a break ???

Awesome finds!
 
Re: KG III & Draped Bust Half Cent At Pounded Out Site

Sweet! Although I bet it wasn't that your xlpros didn't do a good job finding them...I bet it was just that you didn't happen to pass a coil over the coin. But anyway gotta love when old trusty sites keep coming through. Keep it up! :thumbsup:

Major congrats, Chris, on making some nice finds with your Vision in a heavily pounded area.

I don't have to ever worry about losing my probe...it's inline.
