On the way to western NH to detect with a new friend...

Passed a rest stop near a lake and went back to take a picture - still early in the AM and the mist combined with the start of autumn "colors" was too hard to resist.

What a beautiful scene to see on your trip! It is that magical time of year. How did you make out detecting?

Great shot Cubfan! One of the great things about living in New England is the Fall colors. Can't wait to see how they turn out this year with the lack of rain.

Was a long tiring day of detecting. Met a new friend who invited me out to a field he hunts where an old indian fort used to be.

Worked pretty much all day long in a very iron contaminated farmers field, but had a really good time. Found my first two old coppers - one is definitely a King George half penny, but the other we have no idea. Both are so corroded and worn that it's impossible to get a date off them, but it was still really cool to find and hold in my hand a coin lost 200-250 years ago.

Found lots of other misc. stuff - nothing really great besides 3/4 of a #2 crotal bell that had a real pretty design on the bottom - real shame that it was broken and missing pieces on one side - even found a few of the pieces, but not enough to make it whole again.

I'm planning on getting alot more pictures as Fall rolls on. I'm still planning on coming out your way again sometime soon if that's ok. Might want to see if I can detect in one of the fields after the corn has been removed and definitely want to do more indian artifact searching along the river bottom by your house.

I was thinking perhaps Oct 6, 7 or 8th? Any of those days work for you?

Sugar the 6th is out, Lara is busy too. But I could cancel? Otherwise the 7th would be fine for most of us? I can get a weekday off too. I'll post in Mass as soon as I get a chance, the cars are moving, so works been too busy to play here

Great shot Cubfan!
I didn't realize you had that much color on the tress up there already.
I like summer for the one or two weeks I'm on vacation, but I love the fall.

On another note....
If you don't mind, give me a shout should you decide to head out to western mass, I'd make the trip.

Also, feel free to give me a call if your looking for a hunting partner sometime, you have my cell# from before. If you deleted the old message that had it, I can get it to you again if you'd like.

The 7th is a distinct possibility! I'm sure the corn will be harvested by then if it isn't already.

I'd love to get some larger pieces of that driftwood from down by the damn for a landscape project I'm doing too - do you think I'd get in any trouble for hauling off some larger pieces than the "walking sticks" we got last time?

I have a new land detector I purchased and used with a new friend in western NH last week - found my first and then second old coppers. Darn shame that farm fields are so damaging to them because there's no way to tell the date or in one case even what coin it is - the other I could barely make out as a King George Half Penny. It was still pretty amazing to find and hold coins that had been lost 200+ years ago.

Let's see if we can get something set up on the Massachusetts board and give it a try. If not, I might just make a run out that way with my wife for a morning just to look for arrowheads and see if we can pick out any nice driftwood pieces.

JCH - you're definitely invited as well! I think I've gotten hooked on hunting for old coins now along with the water/jewelry hunting I do, so I'm going to be doing alot of research on areas around me as well and hopefully by spring of next year, if you don't mind a little bit of a drive you'll be welcome to come up and hunt with me there.

Pretty as a picture.

You are more than welcome to come up any time. No problem taking the driftwood, all you can haul. The 7th is a go for me, the corn should be gone by now. I haven't made it back down there, but have seen the trucks going by loaded with corn. Let me know when you and the wife are comming, I'd love to go with you and meet her. The color should be great on the 7th too.

Can't wait!
