Lately its just been lousy for me to detect, a lot going on. Work shift changes, night shift, overtime, so today I tried to get permission at 6 different places I had my eye on lately and no one answered ANY of the doors I knocked on, I was frustrated by that so I thought maybe my cornfield from last spring has been cut, heres the result of that Photo10241219.webp, so I just hit a couple spots I already have been to with some ehh, ok, results. a 1911 V nickel in nice shape, a 56 wheat, and a mere 30 cents in clad. oh well, better luck next time I get a chance.....photo.webp

Nice V nickle,I would call that a good day,they have eluded me thus far.
 
cjon455, I sure understand the feeling. I have found 2 new home sites and both are trash nightmares. You literally cant stick a shovel in the ground without getting rotten can parts or occasional or a mason jar lid. The first one gave a couple of wheats and a RFD Mail lock and the second was just too grown up to get much but a Mason Jar lid. Both appear to have been shacks. The old map doesn't give a clue of size. Returned to some of my old sites were beat to death with my G2. I had high hopes the T2 would pull some deep stuff. A few here and there but nothing of real consequence but the watch key I posted a few days ago. Still waiting on a couple of fields to be cut and one turned but really on a dry streak lately. Time to try some new research tactics. Got a bit of advice from another hunter on a new map tactic so gonna get busy trying that. Best of luck.....:icon_thumleft:

The fields I wanna hunt usually don't get cut till a day or two before first day of buck. I got out today and drove around looking and found a little neighborhood park I didn't know about. It had to be the trashiest one yet! Not above ground but below. They must have pushed a building down there. I dug old tin till I got tired and left. I am pretty sure no one had detected it, but there wasn't even clad to be found hardly.
 
What you got looks good.Pennies and pulltabs are my usual finds.HH.
 
I'd be stoked if I found a V nickel ! took me like 8 years to find a buffalo nickel !
 
I found one V Nickle and it was way to beat to even post a photo of here.
 
I would be stoked to find a V nickel, I'm still looking for that honey hole!
