Detector(s) used
Fisher 1266x Minelab Explorer II Modified Bounty Hunter Garrett Ace 250(10x14 excelerator coil)
Hey, Today was the best day ever for me detecting. I called shawn up and asked if he wanted to detect, of course he said yes. So i was lookin thru my phone and found a number of a guy that said i could come search his place any time. So i called and gave us permission. So glad!!! The ground was so soft and easy to dig and signals were popping out everywhere. I ended up pullin out 18 wheats. Only very few clads. My first barber dime ever, 2 mercs and a silver rosey!!! :laughing7: Then i got 7 indians, at this point i was thinkin holy sh!t!!!! I also found my first V nickel, actually 2 of them. Then a strange number on the explorer. Of course i had to dig it, heheh and it turns out to be a gold gilded military button. All and all it was a great and wonderful day to hunt. Shawn pulled out an indian, a few wheats and a BEAUTIFUL 1803 half cent!!! Thanks for lookin, Greg ps, i called bill a few times to keep him updated on the finds, hehehe :laughing7:

Nice day, the button looks like a federal staff officer 3-piece button. The design started during the civil war and ran post-war also
 
WOW. Most people don't have that good of a day their whole life. What a great hunt. Congrats on your firsts.
 
Thanks guys. I was lookin at the indians, the one is 1888, top left of pic. Do you see what i see with that? :icon_scratch: Or am i just dreaming that the last 8 looks like it may have a 7 behind it.

Awesome day :icon_thumleft: Congratulations! Some of my best days have been on private property turn of the century homes. :wink:

Can we see a pic of his 1803 Half Cent too?

HH, Mark :icon_pirat:
 
what happened to all the pop tops and beer caps?
great finds!!
 
that's some nice finds but my favorite is the Yankee Staff Button! Congrats!
 
WOW !

Looks like an Excellent Site !
Don't find those anymore.

Congrats !
 
Good day for sure. :icon_thumright:
 
Great finds! :icon_thumright:

But keep hitting that site. I found one like it one time..... was finding modern coins and some silver and Indians, but also found a toasted 1804 half cent. We expanded the search area and eventually found about 20 coins older than 1810 at that site. ;D Maybe your luck will be the same! :wink:
 
thanks guys, i plan on goin back friday!!!
 
You guys nailed that spot :headbang:...Congrats and thinking about that half-cent is making me drool. Hopefully if I am worthy I may be able to help you clean up that yard on Friday...but do you think you can leave the Minelab at home??? LOL... Way to Go
 
Friday is a good day for this place, the guy said we are welcome back ANYTIME!!! woohoo
 
Awesome hunt. That would have been a lot of fun. Great finds!!
