Bear with me

[fmerg]

what a day went out to the new permission field with rich (port ewen ace) and scored a Connecticut state copper 1788, a nice flat button, couple of musket balls, a key, one real ugly projectile point and if that was not enough i got a Spanish 1754 1 Reale Lima mint
shows what happens when you are not afraid of no bear
i will let rich post all about his day
see pictures below

WawaweewA! That's an awesome Spanish silver you got your paws on. You know I got a special set of earphones for deep woods that only cover one ear- they're called Rattlers and I would have been using them in your spot! Lol

CONGRATS ON THE SPANISH!

You're like Indiana Jones battling the giant cave spiders... just to get the idol!

Excellent work in the name of treasure hunting!

Frank you are having a really awesome year finding some wonderful treasures. When we were up there the scare was coyotes and now bears? Glad to see you're continuing to put a royal butt whoopin on ole Rich even after he bought a new machine!!!!! LOL

Well done on the silver and point! Just remember to always bring a slower running buddy with you when in bear country.

[NEPADIGGER7]

thats one helluva day there man great job!

 

[OutdoorAdv]

That's a great looking piece of Spanish Silver.... and a CT copper

I've come across black bears 4 times in the woods... every time they have run in the other direction when they see me. Including once on Vancouver Island where it was a mom with 2 cubs... they couldn't run away fast enough.... but a brown bear would have me freaking out!

nope gonna give rich the sardine sandwiches to carry and keep the bear repellent for my self

 

[Trezurehunter]

Nice finds. I have had 2 run-ins with bears while hunting & they are both hanging on my wall. ( Of course I was hunting with a bow - not a metal detector ) .
