I went to 3 different areas this weekend.

Saturday

The first area was a dud but I was trying to find a site off an old road in semi thick terrain. Leaving there i hit a wooded site in an old neighborhood that I found 8 Wheaties earlier this week. I came out with 4 more wheaties and a 1944 Merc.

Sunday

Today turned out to be a good luck kind of day. I randomly searched the Seldom Seen woods. Last year I pulled a printing plate, 1 Indian, and 3 LCs. Today I found an old pin, I think a silver plated spoon, my first ever skeleton key, another toasted LC, a wheatie, a toasted buffalo, 1906 Barber Dime, and 1942 Merc.

Yeah especially since I was aimlessly searching. I found the largie at the same spot I found the others last year. Seems like a very old pocket spill but I find one each time I go. There's a huge tree over the area which is annoying. I also found an old miners pick buried at that spot. Good thing about the city is anywhere can produce.

Already 5 silvers on the year which is busy for me. I have a list of other sites I've been meaning to visit before the growing season starts, March should be productive as well.

Thanks! It's going to be hard not swinging the coil for 8 days. I wanted to pack my detector but my gf wouldn't be too happy if I did haha.
 

Man MH, you always find some cool stuff. Nice job on that great variety of coins.
 

Congrats on the coins and key. I still haven't made it into Seldom Seen.

Thanks, I'm sure you'll make it some day. I wasnt even in the area where the old houses were located, mostly because of how thick the area seems to be. I was on the hillside above the parkway west/banksville rd.
