The 2 Old Cellar Holes - Gave up more Coins - Plus SNOW!!!!!

[The Seeker]

? ? ?To make a long story short, Walking out the door this morning at 7:00 am there was a very light rain so off I went to meet Tim and Jeff and the old cellar holes . The ride is about a hour so after about 50 minutes I noticed some snow starting to fall and when arriving at the site The snow was coming down nice and steady ..This was a surprise ,since it was just going to rain today..Tim and Jeff were in the woods when I got there so in I went .The woods were? not? bad the snow was a little less with the trees around... When I ran into tim he already found a large cent .We could not see a date so we kept on digging...With the ground nice and wet from the rain and snow we had this winter? the signals would be a little different from the Dry ground we hunted all this year at this site...My plan was to dig those deep low tone signals.? ?After about 10 minutes I got a nice low consistant tone and after digging down about 7 inches out popped a silver Half real,cleaning it off I could see the markings on one side.? With Tim walking over we decided to take a Hot coffee Break and have a? few left overs from Christmas ...With a large cent a couple of buttons and a silver piece we started detecting again and by the time we finished we had found? 3 coins, 12 Buttons, 1 Jews harp, 1 thimble, and a few other Relics.? So we had a nice time hunting and the snow was on and off for the 5 hours we were there so mabe with the temperature going back into the 40's this week we might be able to get out again this year...So keep on digging no matter what the weather is like!!!!!!!! ? ?

A bit snowy out there today , but good day for finds. could only read the one cent on the back of the 2 large cents I found. both were down about 8 inches. a lot of the large cents at this site are ruff because of the acidic soil from all the pines. the button was about 7 inches down.
It was fun to get out again. Didn't really think I would with the weather here in NY.

Ya John and and Tim we must be die hards. Great day all in all even though I only found piece of harmonica..........I NEED A MINE LAB!!!!!!!!!!!
My Whites has served me well but deep signals are giving me alot of trouble even with the gain at 13 to 14

Now that's dedication.? And it payed off.? Congratulations on the silver, Seeker.

What do you mean a nice low consistant tone?? Do you mean it read as iron?? A low VDI number??

Real nice seeker. You guys are die hard hunters like I am. I would have made the trip. Some great old history in New York. Here in P.a were I am at is old also. These types of places still do exist and it takes some know how to make it all happen.

Nice site and good luck in the future.

Good question haupin....I was wondering the same thing....

Thanks for asking the question...The good deep targets which I planned on digging at this site give off a very low constant tone .With the Minelab The tones are different for items like small silver coins,very small Buttons,etc Plus you have to watch how much descrimination your using at old sites ,over time you can tell when something is worth digging or not. Coins or buttons laying on top or just a few inches below the ground ring up higher than they would at 8 to 10 inches. Depending on the detector your swinging most machines react different to the targets their over.....Hope this helps!!!! Remember just because it's a low tone dos'nt mean it Iron!!!!
