still finding a few

ironhorse · Nov 11, 2014

Blessed with a perfect detecting day, me and Iron Patch hit a handful of fields loaded with potential.
Not a lot of finds, so I guess we left the potential to be discovered another day, a few coppers and a silvery flash on the 10c and ornate button, the clasp was just about the only other thing I found that wasn't so junky

glad to enjoy a day of detecting. not enough days left this year

gonna try to harpoon a whale of a find next time out!

I love the look of those Canadian cents. I've got a holes 1864 New Brunswick and think it's a gorgeous coin. They seem to come out in nice condition quite often as well. Knowing you guys you will harpoon those whales before too long. Didn't you just find a nice rare coin a few weeks ago? Lol

That looks like a fun day to me, nice finds! I sat in a cubicle all day...

As far as coins go, mine wasn't a guppy like today, the tuna I landed a few weeks back wouldn't look too pale beside the "stealth whale" you hooked

I say stealth because it just snuck up on ya

Well I'm sure you'll come out with another winner before the big freeze…but looking at your banner find you still had a hellva year!! any old coin day is a great day out

Better than my hour long hunt today...couple musket balls and an 1832 NS Token..,well crusted. You're coppers are more than decent!

If it wasn't for musket balls, some days we would have nothing to show....I got three today so I did ok
the copped, although few, were good, a surprise !

Pretty good day in the dirt.

Getting some nice coppers in days hunt, with a splash of silver is a good day out.

That's a very nice looking group of finds - I'd be stoked with all that .

The days have been exceptional for detecting; not too hot, not too cool , and best if all, no bugs!
I love it!

five was the theme of the day, we'll have a new day and a new theme next time

A not so random thought is that are better finds so far seem to be coming from our old fav. areas and sites. Might have to work a few more in before freeze up... mainly L13. We never really walked around those fields as well as we should have, and it's quite a bit of space.

I agree, as long as the ground isn't froze, it's not too cold. I love no bugs, (incl. ticks) and no sweat.
Hope you get another chance, and I'm sure you will, as will I, but days are no doubt numbered for 2014.
