Out in a new set of woods lookin for oldies.

[treasurefiend]

Well I met up with 3 of my buds this morning with high hopes of finding so old coins as we spent sometime doing research and looking at old areal pix of the area and mapping the coordinates of old picnic groves and some old house sites that have been long since torn down out in the middle of the woods and loading them to a gps unit. Well that fell through as soon as we got into the woods, the trees blocked our signal all day. So we set out to try and find our spots as best we could but it wasn't meant to be, we are going to go back in the fall time when we will be able to get a signal... We all managed to find a few coins and some relics, the 4 of us managed to find:
1 barber dime
1 merc
1 buffalo
maybe 10 or 12 wheat's
a depression token of some kind
and some clad.

Is some places it was dead quite so I was digging almost any signal just to pass the time but in other places it was iron city. Today was my 1st hunt with my new 8x6 coil and in one iron spots I slowed way down and was able to squeak the buckle out with a rusted nail right next to it so I have to say it did what I hoped it would do. Today I did manage to find my very 1st musket ball and yet another type of Boy Scout's pin (like the other types that I have found these also have BS of A pat. 1911) so I was real happy with that. Hope everyone got a chance to get out and hunt this weekend.

Not a bad day of detecting I must say. Even though you didn't find some of them locations you were all looking for, you did pretty well. Can't wait to see what you find when you do track down some of them spots. Glad your hunt wasn't a total bust! Better Luck and HH to you on your next outing.
