you might say we tapped into some new sites

[ironhorse]

After a marathon hunt over the past couple of days me and the other field beaters dug tons of holes and had a great time getting some nice old finds fuelled by Tim Horton's and some awesome great outdoors. Me and Iron Patch got a chance to join Patriot and Hunthicks for a stab at a couple of their sites. Results were mixed but we all had a good warm up, and it's always nice to get on some new sites. When it was our turn to share up the sites we did our best to get on some new turf everyday, it wasn't always easy but we got some new sites and still got a few keepers from some old ones. I didn't score anything killer but I was right there and I know I at least had a chance at some outstanding finds, which is something I haven't seen before and it was a blast digging up the countryside.

As usual there were buttons, not as many as I had hoped but I did score a couple of militaries, a navy cuff and an almost smooth artillery button, they are always fun to dig. I got a handfull of coppers, nothing stellar there either, but they were popping, and no one was dissappointed with finding them. Lots of nitnoids along the way helped fill up my pouch, jaw harps, barrel taps, buckles, bullets, you know all the things that make a series of hunts just a little more interesting. Since we hunted some ploughed up fields some eyeball finds were available to us ,I found a couple of bottlenecks, pipebowls, and glass buttons.


Other than that it was a good series of hunts and it was a good time to meet with our friends and share some relic hunting.

You guys did alright, nice amount of finds that would keep one's interest going.
What's this little item in the middle?

it's a little clip/fastener off clothing or such , far as I can tell

Both you and IP must find vigin sites there like no tomorrow. The stack of stuff you pull out is remarkable. I know it's not for digging every signal but even still, you guys must have some choice places to jump on! Congrats to you on finding them, making those recoveries and sharing them with us so we can all enjoy them! Thanks and keep it up.

If you think this is good, you should've seen them about 7-10 years ago...

I don't wanna think about it....my brain will pop!

Thanks to better technology no doubt. I bet all those spots previously vaccuumed just turn out more because you all can get better depth and sensitivity.

in the past we would regularly visit our old sites ,but now they remain quiet, except for the occasional find

we really concentrate on new sites because that's where the finds are, plus we do have competition, they get as many new sites and finds as us; and machine technology helps get more of the finds available, how could it not

That's a nice pile of buttons! I like the jews harp and the nice barrel tap as well.
