10-18-12 Field Hunt

[dirtdigger1581]

Took my buddy Wes out to a local field today and put the E-trac w/ 6x8" SEF coil to work. Spent four hours out there enjoying a beautiful day and made a couple finds to sweeten the pot. Targets were scarce but we managed a couple keepers. I also made my first attempt at recording my finds with my video camera. You can check that out below. Had a great day!

Happy Hunting!

Very neat finds! When you folks go out field hunting you must be doin it with some sort of educated guess there was a home or other structure there.... I know fields grow a lot of things but I dont think they randomly grow money!

This is a field that was near an old colonial church, and the main road it is near had a lot of troop movement during the revolutionary/civil war. People planted the money crops here long ago. I'm just getting around to digging them up now.

Nice coins

Another beautiful day of local hunting. Just wasn't my day as I only found a piece of a coloinal shoe fork and a pounded piece of lead possibly used as a poker or chess piece. Nate has the golden horseshoe when it comes to finding coins, but I have all fall and winter to catch up on your early lead this year. I can't beleive how clean those two V Nickles are that you found.
