2012 coins review.:fisher::teknetics:

[jim tn]

The first couple of pictures are of what the woods look like that I hunt during the winter months. The next shots are pretty much of all the older coins I found in 2012, less about a couple dozen Mercury and Rosie dimes I sold off earlier in the year. A close estimate is the F 75 LTD located about 65 percent of all my 2012 recoveries. The Other 35 percent were with the Tek Omega. 142 silver coins were recovered for the year. HH jim tn

I always enjoy your posts and your silver count is great. I love it when somebody tears things up with an F75. Now that I have seen your woods I have to ask, what was there before? What brought old coins to the woods? Congrats on some great finds.

Why do those woods produce such interesting finds. How old is that area and what kinda activity did it once present.

Was it a park that was abandoned? Or is there a river in the woods , that would draw people into that woods?

Thanks for your comments and interest. I've p m'ed a few of of you about these woods and will get to the rest of you that have inquired hopefully by Sat.

First off, about 1/3 of my annual silver finds come from these woods. But the biggest percent of the older coin varieties do. And, the woods does yield a vast variety of people lost items.

In a nut shell, the woods have seen some form of activity from the 1860's to today. Walking the trails, having picnics, and a number of other things, have taken place in these woodlands since the late 1800's. Not every acre is as dense as the pictures show, but a good chunk is that way and tough to detect. But, non the less fun. HH jim tn

One never knows what those woods were 100 years ago and unlike cut grass lined parks have never been hunted....Years ago hunting an old park area with the exception of a few clad came up empty handed..Buddy went into the woods to relieve himself and hit a Barber dime on the way out...To keep story short ended up with 8 silver coins including a barber quarter and seated dime. Guess way back when this was a busy part of park now overgrown with trees...Never have had quite that type of luck again but have gotten silver coins in areas more suited for deer hunting so don't overlook these areas...
