Best Day EVER!!!!!

[BADDOG]

Well it was actually 2 days but it only lasted an hour each day.
I was in Illinois this past week and took my detector with me. I hunted a few parks and got a little clad then I found the best site I have ever detected in my short 9 month career metal detecting.
I only was able to detect for 1 hour Wednesday and 1 hour Thursday here is what I found:

3- Silver Quarters 1964, 1942, 1953
1- Merc Dime 1942
1- Buffalo 1937
1- war nickle 1944 S
6- Wheaties
1- Bus Token
1- St Christopher Medal
1- USAF lapel pin
1- Silver bracelet (belonged to Carol)
1- Silver ring
1- Silver ring with cheap stone
1- 14K gold plated wedding band
1- 1963 class ring
1- Spoon ring
1- part of silver bracelet
Misc clad, old watch, tool tag, etc


Here is my problem. I know there are tons more at this site but I will never get back there to hunt it. How do I divulge the location so other TreasureNet members can get the opportunity to clean this place out. Hint it is near Peoria.

By the way I may have to set my standards a little higher. My goal was to find a Merc, Buffalo and a Indian head penny. I have found all of these in the last month!!


Good luck and HH

"How do I divulge the location so other TreasureNet members can get the opportunity to clean this place out. Hint it is near Peoria."

Here's an idea, just tell where it is. Others in the area will no doubt attempt to get there. That is, if you really want them to know.

 

[BADDOG]

Thanks everyone. I appreciate your posts.
I must say Dekalp33 graciously got the location and then
asked if anyone else might want to hunt it with him! ?That's what it's all about!!

I guess if you want to hunt this site send Dekalb33 a PM, he now has the key!!

You may think I am very generous, but I look at it as why would a man with no arms
need a wristwatch, I can't use it somebody else should have it who can.

As always Good Luck and HH

Oh, almost forgot--outstanding finds for two hours hunt. I'd love to find a virgin site such as that one. great job. If it were I, I'd make it a point to try to get back there. One heck of a spot. Congrats again.

Good dog, Baddog. Ooops, I mean Good job, Baddog. You must have been thrilled to hunt a site like that.

 

[BADDOG]

Dekalb33,

As far as I'm concerned it's up to you how or if you want to divulge the location. It's really not a big secret, I mean I was in town for 5 days and found it on my first day. I didn't think much of it as it was so obvious. I even ran into another detectorist and asked him about this site.

Do with the information as you please.

Good Luck

weebee33 and some guy named steve 78 who doesnt even post on the forums are the only ones who have contacted me so far so if you guys know ne one else willing to treck 150 or so miles to "the spot" from were i live closer if you further south.so you all know ne one who posts on here and contributes regular tell them to pm me or email getting colder and snow in the forecast.maybe jeff can help(mod)or ill check the map of members see who wants to go?

 

[omnicognic]

Baddog, you have a knack for finding the great spots! I still want to thank you for inviting me to one of your other hotspots that provided me with one of my best finds! You seem to have outdone yourself with this one though, awesome! Dekalb, keep us posted on your finds at this site and congrats again baddog! Good Hunting! --omnicognic 8)

Very nice finds. I have PM Dekalb33 to see if he would be willing to have me hunt with him.? There are probably lots of spots like the one you have found.? Somtimes I just pull out the map and pick a spot to drive to and hunt.? Can be fun and rewarding because there are still a lot of virgin territory out there to be found and it is up to us to find them.
You are a generous person to share the location of your finds.
Thanks for the great pics.
