Hey everyone,
Hunting time has been limited due to my boys baseball season. Over the past 6 weeks I've been out only a few times. Although I had a great spring this yr I felt a little time away couldn't hurt.
I will say though that every Sat or Sun that went by and I was at the field or b-days etc I wish I was out hunting. I decided to let the homesteads rest till the fall. To over grown now. Makes it hard to locate them.
I do have about 5 or so sites that need to be tracked down but I am going to wait till the fall. Last weekend was the first time in awhile I was able to get out back to back days. I went back to one of my old parks and it didn't dissapoint me like usual.
It's been hunted to death but I know of some hot spots deep and tucked away. I spent 2 hrs Sat without a single old coin. Until I came upon a area that looked like a old creek bed or small pond.
I started pulling up some wheats. I was finding fishing sinkers left and right. I actully dug a fishing pole to. So it must have been a fishing spot way back then. As I was hunting I got a deep screw cap reading.
Dug down and out popped a quarter sized copper coin. Thinking it was a token I just tucked it into the pouch. When I got home I realized the coin was pretty toasted no detail at all. So it went into the tumbler.
The next day went back to the same sight. I was on my way out of the place when I hit a LC on a deer path. Not far from where I pulled the toasted copper coin the day before. After looking at the coin a little closer I realized it may be a half cent of some kind.
It is 23.5 millimeters but I don't know the weight. It appears to have a letter T above a bust facing to the right. It also looks like a reaf on the back. And I see a faint trace of a ribbon at the bottom. I am not sure if it's a liberty cap classic head or maybe something else.
The large cent was a no dater and it to was toasted but not as bad. It was only 2 inches deep on a rocky old path. I've found alot of large cents at this park over the past 3 yrs. Seems past hunters missed them for some reason.
Most were 8 to 10 inches deep or more. I guess the large coil on the dfx and my skills I am able to find the harder targets that most people walk over. Large cents are easy targets to find. And for them to have left them behind is strange but I am glad they did.
Other than that just some common coins 17 wheat cents. 2 merc dimes 1920 D 1942. 4 Indian heads 1901 1902 1897 1895. Got a 1925 buff. And 1 1912 barber dime.
Hope to get out here more soon after this month gets over. Time to start getting back up at 6 and hunt till 12. The heat and bugs are just to much any other time.
Thanks for looking everyone
