The Path Less Traveled (Updated)

pwcguy · Jul 18, 2010

I was hunting a logging site today with some friends and was not finding a whole lot. We were about to give it up for that site but we decided to try one more round around the site. I got to the edge of the clearing and noticed what looked like a trail in the woods. So off into the woods I went and sure enough it was an old road. I turned right and headed down the trail and came to a tree that had blown down as I lifted the detecter to go over it I got a good signal. Got the pinpointer out and found that it was close to the surface. I stuck my fingers into the undergrowth and felt around till I pulled the large coin out. I hunted for a few more minutes and then went to get the other guys to cover the area better. We didn't find much but on the way out we dug a bearing cap from a ford tractor or car and then the smaller coin came out a little farther down the path. Then a thunder storm chased us out of the woods. Over all it was a good hunt several old axe heads and a civil war bullet were all so pulled out of the ground.
I'm in the proces of cleaning the coins and should have an udate of pictures soon.

The left one looks like it might be a large cent, the right one looks like a crusty lincoln. You might benefit to boil a little Hydrogen peroxide in the microwave, just til it starts boiling, and drop them in. When they're crusty like that, you can do a lot of damage fast trying to pick them. Good luck, I hope the best for them!
