Just now got a chance to post my finds from the past weekend and at the fall hunt. First of all, a big thanks to Bob-NH for his effort in putting on a great hunt. The finds were slim, but it was a great day to enjoy the scenery, meet fellow detectorists from the forums, and hunt for some old finds. I managed a canadian penny and a wheatie was all. I did get 2 tokens good for a franklin half each, so I didn't leave without something good.
I hunted around with Guvner, Golddigger, Tom-WI, and Ted from St. Louis the day before and after at several parks around Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Hampshire. Goldigger killed us on coppers! I found quantities of newer silver and indians, plus a few surprises. The pic below is most of my goodies from the trip... I managed 20 pieces of silver, 26 indians, 3 coppers, a 2 cent piece and a silver 3 cent piece.
The coppers were 2 1819 large cents, an 1841 Webster hard Times Token. 1864 2 center, 1853 3 center, 5 barber dimes, 10 mercs, 1 washington quarter, a silver thimble, cufflink, and religious metal - not pictured. The indians included some better dates - 1865, 1867, 1868, 1873. an aluminum token "P. CASCELLA 6", a put-and-take spinner, and what looks like a british naval button.
Great meeting up with everyone and I'll try and make the next hunt. HH, Mike.
