MIDNIGHT HUNT.....INTERESTING FINDS!

[PATreasureHunter]

Had an itch to go hunting tonight, so I did a little "Midnight Hunting" in the back of my apartment building. The building dates back to the mid 1800's. Out for about 45 minutes, and I found a heavy slab of metal; a washer of sort sort; a 1975 penny; and old shell casing; and a small part of a gear? Each piece was about 4 inches down. Again, still getting used to my ACE 250, but BOY can it find stuff!

Your "washer" looks like a solderless connector. The wire is crimped into the small end and the round part fits over a threaded battery terminal. A nut or wing nut is tightened over it to make the connection. One that size was probably used to power an accessory in a boat, car, or trailer.

Sounds like fun hunting at night. Never tried it. Can you give us some pointers for night hunting?

To answer your question Dan, midnight hunting is fun, BUT you have to be VERY careful as to where you hunt. I live in an old apartment building that dates back to the mid 1800's, so all I really did was just step out my back door. Basically, I used a flashlight, was very quiet, and didn't dig every signal. I'm also lucky because the spot where I dig those items, there's a fairly large spotlight shining down, which provided more light. Unless it's your own property, I would highly advise against going hunting at night, for fear of neighbors calling the police, etc. I plan to not make a habit of this, but again, I have an advantage because I hunted almost literaly right outside my doorstep. I hope this helps, and Happy Hunting!

Thanks for the info PA makes good sense to be sensible while hunting at night. I suppose another factor would be safety....not being able to hear or see. Thanks again for the reply.
