So I made it for a couple more lunch hunts after scoring the nice Walker earlier this week. Weather has been crazy cool and dry. First stop was to the area where the Walker popped and this was my first hit.
1973 Kennedy Half, sort of 2 halves in a row, but this one is only worth $.50. Found 2 more wheats from 40's and then swung under a big old pine tree.
High tone hit, but under major rootage, finally uncovered the target, same size and thickness as a LC, but this seems like a key blank with the shaft broken off, don't know.
A few feet away and another hit in the penny range under roots. Old onyx ring with copper band.
Here's the handful. Nothing great.
Tried my hand at using LIDAR as many of the wooded forests I hunt have huge trees, so aerials don't show much, thought LIDAR might help with penetrating the canopy. Tried this with my new favorite lunch site and found a small depression. About the center of the photo. The aerial also showed an anomaly.. It turned out to be a huge uprooted tree. Oh well.
Good luck out there!
