Silver and wheats in the woods

juju · Feb 27, 2010

Howdy all,
I met up this mornin at daylight with Damon64 for a hunt in the brush. I was invited to hunt his site and it turned out to be an awesome day. The site used to be old WW2 housing, and later was removed. The streets and sidewalks are still there as well as a few foundations. Most of the trees are around 20 years old, and the brush is super thick. We started getting wheats right off the bat, as well as a few other odds and ends. We both were talkin about the possibility of silver being high. I made mention that dimes were more likely than big silver. I can't recall my reasoning, but it had something to do with the overall income of the area. Anyway not 2 minutes later I popped a Merc. Its a well worn 1920 and its beautiful. The rest of my take consisted of a flat button, suspender piece, 44, and 46 wheats, a tax token, a 52 Canadian cent, and a tool check complete with bullet holes. I only pulled one modern coin the whole day. The targets are sporadic but when you get into a patch it is usually pretty good. A fantastic day for sure. Again I want to say thanks to Damon for takin me along. Thanks for looking and luck in the hunt.

That was a fun hunt for sure. The best part was meeting JuJu, I enjoyed his company. I look forward to hunting with you again!
I stayed a bit longer after Nate had to go and ended up with a total 13 wheats, 6 tax tokens, 1 '42 Merc, 2 military buttons and two junk rings. I've never pulled 13 wheats in one day before, so a first for me.
I know we'll pull some more silver from there, let's hit it again!!!

I'll try to post a pic of my finds.

Man you guys must have some great weather to be able to get out and do some hunting without the snow and frozen ground. The ground here in Ohio is frozen solid.....
