Started my day going off the trails to find some old buildings from 50’s aerial photos. The site is completely overgrown and luckily i did not get any ticks on me. Located one of three structures completely fallen down. Looks to be a cheaply made 8’x10’ bunk house. Several iron spring beds were arranged in the building with a 50s looking farm sink. My guess is these buildings were used for farm or sea laborers from the 50s to the late 60s. Could barely get 1/4 of a swing in most places due to the vines trees and other foliage. Found a deep, good sounding target and it turned out to be a chunk of iron. Cut my losses and went back to the place ive been hitting pretty hard and i scored some keepers. Tried my small coil in the irony area close to the house and got a couple wheats, copper memorials and a thimble. Switched back to the new detech coil and went over the SAME EXACT 20’x40’ section ive been finding all the good stuff in. After digging a couple deep iron targets that sounded good and some can slaw i got a pretty nice signal and got a spill of three wheats and a 1916 buffalo! Kept gridding out the section and pulled out another buffalo from the deep, 1924. Another super deep scratchy signal turned out to be a 1916 S barber dime. After that i got a 1897 IHP, some more deep wheats and a V nickel to wrap things up. Pretty much all of these targets only hit in one direction and were accompanied with iron, foil or pieces of aluminum can. I wonder what im going to find there next time. Happy hunting and thanks for checking it out!
