Hello All,
It's been a few weeks since I posted finds, but we've been busy hitting the books, doing research, scouting the next batch of sites, and diggin some.
Last week we had a little campout on the property of a Very Cool owner right beside a neat site in the woods where we detected and did some sifting. Part of the festivity was due to our welcoming aboard the newest member of the team, coinmaster2db. This guy is good at research and history, and always seems to have an extra 6-pack of beer around.
Here's a very short video of our campout.

The finds were pretty slim for this event, but the company was top notch.
I went out the next day for a little hunt with Hill Billy. We got on a new spot that had a beautiful view. The iron was thick, the zinc canning jar lids were a nightmare, and we didn't get many keepers for a lot of diggin. But HB got a nice brass-faced bridle rosette right off. Then he got a solid silver signal on his XLT.
He dug carefully, and I could see a silver reeded edge poking out of the side of the clod. We just knew it had to be a Seated Quarter...
When he pulled it out, we both got a laugh, and started wondering "What is that doing here?" It was a Silver Georgie. :P The picture below Sucks because I was laughing so hard.
Anyhow, the scenery was beautiful, the two bulls in the field left us alone, and I found a nice Eagle Button.
Then over the weekend I got together with Rodeo and coinmaster2db for the last field hunt of the season.
It was a rainy mess, but again beautiful countryside in this area too.
We hit the site hard, knowing that there would be no re-hunt for six months. For the first few hours, we got harmonica reeds, spoon handles, and bits. I started to doubt the age of the site, since there were no flat buttons found--at all! Maybe those long-gone inhabitants boycotted buttons. Maybe since it was such a remote area they just went around "Nekkid"
But it was wierd to have a hunt with no flatties found.
Here's a photo of Rodeo and Coinmaster. Rodeo had just dug two huge old skeleton keys, and was pretty stoked.
I managed to find an interesting broken point in the field, and I got an in-situ shot before I picked it up.
