Visited four different sites this weekend. My last and best find came at the last site that I only hunted for 20 minutes as it was getting dark. My mom had been reminding me of a light switch that needed to be replaced at her house so I decided Sunday would be a good day to do it. Nate’s homework situation was looking pretty good so he decided to tag along. So we get there and Nate starts detecting. My wife and I have a pleasant visit with my mom and I replaced the switch. I was not really planning on doing any metal detecting but as there was only about 20 minutes of daylight left decided what the heck. So I go out and Nate is grinning. He informs me that he has found “some good stuff”. 
So that gets me going. Five minutes later he announces Indian Head! Holy Crap – how could we have missed that after hunting this small area so many times? Well Nate tells me that it was a total iorn signal. So, that gets me thinking – I’m digging any good iornish signal. Ten minutes later I get an iffy signal that I unearth and wipe off enough dirt to see the headdress of a familiar figure – an IH. Sweet! 
Was even more excited when I washed it off and read 1875. I don’t find a lot of IH’s so this one is special.
Other two hunts on Saturday – Nate talked me out of plan A (was going to be too wet). We did plan B and Nate found a nice silver ring and silver charm. I found a couple wheats. So I dropped Nate off for his Cross Country Meet and went back to plan A. It was a soupy mess but I was happy as I pulled a merc and silver rosie in a couple hours. The one silver dime I had to fish out of 3-4 inches of water. :P I dug the 4 inch plug and the hole immediately filled up with 3 inches of water. And the coin was still in the hole. That was a first for me.
Other stuff from last Sunday came from a hunt with a friend down in Wooster Ohio(Don). He got permission to hunt a couple old houses. It was a great day even though both Don and Nate put the silver skunk on me. Also, Nate found that V nickel that had my name on it not 10 feet from where I was detecting .
Couple of other pics from our hunt with Don. First is Nate digging either another merc or my V-Nickel. Other is Don porch diving.
Conditions are great for us right now and it is a great time to be out detecting.
Good luck all!
