Weekend finds in an old Civil War Town. 1856 Large Cent, dropped bullets.Tsgman

tsgman · Dec 17, 2008

A few finds from around Washburn Mo. During the war of Northern aggression it was called Keetsville, Mo. I want to thank James and Kelly for inviting us down to hunt with them. Talk about hospitality we even got breakfast! Thanks again fella's! I got out Sunday afternoon with Mark and hunted another yard in Springfield. I dug a 1853 Large Cent and a few bullets. I also dug another bird band , my second one. The weather here has been really cold so we just get in a chance here and there, Hope everyone had a great weekend. Tim

Doggone it Tim, the picture of all you guys, looks like a bunch of DIV'ers. LOL, Great finds as
always.

The ground here in Ohio is hard as a rock and big winter storm coming in tomorrow. I'll be looking
for some hills, facing the south with a lot of leaves on them to hunt this winter. LOL

HH, Ringfinder

Thanks Nana, that was my second LC in 3 months. My buddy Mark also dug one from the same spot. That 6x10 coil is really good on small brass, and lead. Of course the benefit of the elliptical coil is the coverage from one end to the other vs. the round stock coil has a conical pattern. I would say the stock coil would actually dig a little deeper. The deeper the target the less the coverage. In the long run I would hunt with the 6x10 for the coverage you get.

Nice job on the LC...and great that you guys are still getting out....we have been digging also ...a little windy ,but not bad!LOL

Nana,I hunt with the 6x10 %90 of the time now,The only time I change it is in super trashy ground to the little snooper.I dont notice any loss of depth though?I do hunt in the relic mode with the toggle pushed forward(on the (M.X.T.)I have dug Seated Dimes at 18 inches in mineralized ground.The pinpointing is a little tricky sometimes!
