Fun with the Racer 2 & Fors Relic

Well-known member
A very good friend & I planned a little over week-long detector jaunt. We hit some sites in Central/Southern Idaho as well as Eastern Oregon. All in all it was a very fun trip and we did much better than we thought we might. I used the Racer 2 with 7" Concentric and 5" Nel Sharp coils. For the Relic I used the 9.5 x 5" and 5" coils.

When it was all said and done I ended up with 3 tokens, The Club GF 5 cents, Assembly Pool Hall GF 5 cents and a Good For $2.50 token.

Also got a 1904 & 1897 Barber Dimes, 1895 IH, 1928 Buffalo Nickel, 1905 & 07 V Nickels, 1869 Seated Dime and 1894 Barber Quarter.

To round it off also got a cuff link, a nice 1850'ish Navy/Marine button a few marbles and an arrowhead.
 
those are amazing finds, way to go!
 
Thanks. Actually, we detected for 10 days. I ended up with 4 silvers and my friend got 3. At one site I have been hitting for 6 years, the road cuts thru the middle of it creating a North & South side. In all those 6 years the South side has always been to grassy/weedy to detect. You could work around the edges but that was about it. The North side was better and areas of it could be detected. This year a Rancer put in a bunch of cattle there and they grazed that area really well opening up the South side for once. 3 of my 4 silvers came from that area as well as a V Nickel and the Buffalo Nickel and the button. We got lucky the area opened up.

My friend did get a very nice hard to get silver, an 1851 silver Trime.

All in all it was a very fun trip and luck was on our side to make some good finds :)
 
Gregg - GREAT finds! Next time I get to hunt with you up north, I'm bringing my own cow to mow some of the areas. Hoping to catch up with you a little later this year. Heading to Nevada in a couple of weeks like last year to hunt some ghost towns.

Hey El, how's it going? Looking forward to seeing you down in NV this June. Should be a fun week of detecting. As far as Molly & Binkers they were right there every day with me. Molly, as usual, was off digging squirrel holes, etc and Binkers was there helping me find the goodies.
