Hey everyone,

Hope you are all getting out in these cooler temps. I know I have been. But not as much as I would like to be hunting. Weekends are the only time I can get out any more. And time is limited then to. I would like to take one nice 8 hr day though and hunt this place. I bet I could pull about 10 to 15 silvers in a 8 hr hunt.

This whole take you see here isn't a whole lotta time spent in the field. Maybe 10 hrs. Silver has been starting to show it's face more than once though per outing. As soon as things die off I'll really have some goods to show.

I got nice spots but they are ruff. I had so many chiggers on me Saturday it was rediculous. I basically had to throw all my clothes away. But I had to get that silver right. I've been scouring over a park where there is alot of targets left behind.

I've been carefully listening closely to the deep chirp of the Dfx telling me there may be silver down there. I have came up with alot of coins past the 6 inch mark. It almost seems like I've been the deepest hunter here so far over the yrs. It's been hunted alot by the lack of good strong signals I don't come by to often.

Enough of the park and onto the finds. Don't take this the wrong way but nothing to old and nothing to rare. I like to be touching back atleast pre 1900 on finds. But time and lack of researching I'll have to settle for 1900 to 1950 finds.

Scored alot of nice mercs. This place is known to put out alot of them. Although a barber does jump into the pouch here and there. Any silver is fun to find. But alot less excitement from a rosie to a barber. I did get a neat little 5 cent token. And a nice 36 buff.

I had some more pics but my camera is acting funny so I missed a few. Had a nice 20 old coin day in 3 hrs last week. But the pic won't come off the camera. I could have shown you them straight from the ground. But they are up there cleaned.

I did however get this funny little but heavy piece of silver with a diamond in the center. Is this some sort of cuff link. It's marked 925 on the back. It's a 2 piece welded together by 4 bars on each corner. It slide onto something.

It was deep around 8 inches or so on a hard packed path. I love finding deep misses. Got 2 indian heads a 02 and a 83. Got a 09 wheat and a 18 D. Other than that just some relics. Did get a cool little lead press for small portable engines. But in the recovery the top thin layer of bronze or copper got pealed.

It was down really deep because of the weight of it. I scratched it being lazy not thinking it was something. Gave a strange signal and was about a foot deep.

Once again thanks for looking

great finds! do you clean your silver with anything besides water?
 
Thanks alot guys,

Yes, Some rain would be nic HD. We had one nice soak a few weeks back and I was getting down deeper more easily. Items on tilt where coming in better also and at better depths.

Mirage, The token was one of those fool you type of holes. I had a low 28 funny vdi number with good tone and depth. So I dug I plug and said hey a nickle. But wait a minute. It's a neat little token. Says The Circle on the other side. Some kind of drink token for a bar or something.

Yes, Grsshopper I do clean them a few diff ways. I got a good tumbler from kelley co. The best one they have. I get some small smooth gravel and some dish soap let them spin for about 2 hrs. Take them out and they look beautiful.

If you don't wanna spend a whole lotta money but a can of mothers mag and aluminum polish say for all metals. Get it at walmart pep boys etc. Like 5 a can works great. Just rub with fingers and buff on cloth.

Looks good...you always have a nice variety of old stuff. Sounds like you have some nice sites there, but yea I know what you mean, I wish I had more time too. Congrats tho!
 
All those coins look brand spankin new..WOW...Nice digs there. :thumbsup: jgas
 
That's quite a few gorgeous Mercs ya got there!

Yeah, I'd say that if I found that park, I'd probably stay there - forever! Congrats!!! :thumbsup:
 
Hey Jer, ever hear of Deet? Just kidding! :wink: I ventured out without my Cutters a while back and the mosquitos ate me alive and I finally had to quit hunting and go home and put some anti-itch medicine on. I keep a spray can of 40% deet Cutters in the car at all times now. Great finds as usual. I haven't met anyone who knows the DFX and can run it as well as you do. I depend on luck where you depend on skill and it makes me feel humble. Keep at it my friend. Monty
 
Killing it !! I wonder how you can find so much in public park. Is this a state park or what kind of park is this? :icon_scratch:

Awesome finds,
Keep @ it and HH!!
 
Thanks guys,

Sorry for the delayed response.

Monty, Maybe they aren't called chiggers. Those damn things that stick all over your clothes is what I am talking about. Bugs man don't get me on them. I keep bug off in buisness. All I hunt is woods and they love me for some reason.

Yes you are right also. The Dfx is a great unit. But location is atleast 60% of the battle. I put myself in known natural places that have history. Then my skills take over as I sniff out questionable and deep signals through out a site.

I've spent thousands of field hrs in the woods hunting. So I have alot of experience. I've found alot of diff old coins to and kniw how they come in and vdi. Keep at it monty. You'll hit the mother load at some point. Luck is a good factor to have on your side also.

There still out there Nick. You'll find one here sooner or later.

Thanks again guys,

HH Jer
 
Great finds as always..........I had to take another look. :)
 
Thanks alot John,

I was wondering where you have been man. Hope all is well and your just busy like the rest of us hard working americans. This economy needs to get back on track.

Man miss seeing all thos colonial relics and coins you have found out there. If I know you correct I am sure there have been finds made that we all haven't seen. Good to see you around again man.

Take care,

Jeremy
 
could not take two day's of finds like that. :thumbsup:
 
gander mountain sells permanon repellant, you spray it on your clothes and it kills bugs like crazy. its fun to watch a bug land on you and die before it can bite you. works great. nice finds by the way.
 
Thanks guys,

I will look into that bug spray. I got a gander close to my house. The off barely keeps them away. I hate the smell of the stuff plus when you sweat it's a nightmare. I'll be back soon with more.
