Time to thank Cru for the help that produced a George lll

In a previous posting I thanked Scrappy for the 8 setting on the Deus.
Cru stated that he ran in 12, so I thought why not try the same small site again.
I put in around 4 hrs of detecting and produced yet another batch of great returns.
I started off digging nothing but big iron, and decided to go off the old railway bed and onto the actual site.
First good target comes from the sloping rear of the site. I'm not sure what the coin/token is yet but I was tickled to see it in the dirt.


Then came the OH Ya! Moment, where another great looking copper from this site is going to be a keeper. Believe it is a George lll, no date great looking and I'm doing a little bit of a happy dance for popping this one.

The next find to give me that "Nice" feeling was a very loud 88, and turning the soil over I caught a glimpse of the color of gold. No idea of what it might be, but from the gold wash it must been something good. If someone can help me with the ID I'd be very interested.

So a few more buttons and a few pieces of iron that I've never dug before made for a very interesting hunt at a bottom feeding site.
One piece of iron was the little oxen shoe, and the other one was the small hammer head.

So here are the piles of good, and the iron. Thanks for looking.

Another very cool find Jim!
You're having an amazing year my friend, considering all of the other stuff you have going on in your life.
With your construction demands, your flooding on the island and of course the 'heritage folks' digging illegally next door... at least life isn't boring in your neck of the woods!

That KG copper is in tremendous shape. Any chance that it's a Machin's Mills specimen? Nice digging.

Sorry for missing your reply ,thank you for the kind reply even though it's a tad late. I'm not sure if it's a Machin's Mill specimen, I don't know enough to comment on that, but will give it some research time.

Damn Pep nice work. Looks like it's time to add another $1500 or so to my detector lineup and buy a Deus. OutdoorAdv has been at me for a year at least. I'm super impressed with its ability to hit the smallest of targets and separate so well.

Ah your being too kind Dave, the getting out to hunt and time to post up is the biggest problem.

Thanks Abe. I justified the purchase for it being my BD and the amount of hours I've spent trying to save $$$ in the construction process. I'm sure liking the amount of targets it picks out after hitting the site so many times with the Minelabs. Best of luck on your next outing Abe.
