Well, I went back to the mill site with my 3 boys, and low and behold, the first signal I received I dug. Out popped an 1899 Barber quarter from perhaps 10" down in the roots. I called my wife on the cell phone and took pics. Then I rescanned the dirt prior to filling in and got another good signal. By golly, a 1900-S dime! Two coins from one hole. Then it started to rain and the boys wanted to go home, so we hiked the mile back to the car. So now I know I am in the right spot, and must return many times to get a total feel for the site.

Fantastic finds.........Congrats! Like I said in your earlier post . You never know! This could be the site and it paid off in a nice way! Good luck the next time out.............WTG
 

Great finds,
I love those old sites they always seem to fool ya then ya run into something good.
Keep up the good work, and be careful those boys are bound to get bit by the detector bug.
You could wind up like me and my dad with an arsenal of metal detectors.
keep hunting.
 

Super Finds. Looks like a great site. Love that silver. If you ever need a hunting partner older than the 3 in the photo get in touch. I am down around New Bern so not too far away. Continued success to you.
 

Congrats on the finds
Those boys don't look none to happy about leaving though. It sure
is great you can get out with the kids like that. :D
Good luck
 

Man you got it all going on, an awesome detector, an awesome site to hunt, and 3 of the greatest guys in the world to do it with!

I think they are camera-shy, they look like it was a forced march! It was about a mile hike, 1/4 through the woods. :)
