First couple finds from lunchtime yesterday. Super deep whisper of a 27-29 in the woods.
Also found an old aluminum novelty token there and a wheat.
Made it out first light this AM at a dot we have hit 8 times already. Site dates back to late 1700’s. Spent 3 hours digging every little whisper of a 20+ tone, one way, and the crazy flutey 38-39 tones. The new software on the Nox really was working extremely well in the moist soil. Focused on the 10’x20’ area that already produced several LC’s and KGs.
Here are the relics from this spot. (And my 2nd ever CW mini ball!)
Some non metallics popped from this area.
A couple pewter spoon frags.
Then got a small 20-22 one way signal with big iron, pulled a 5” rusty J hook out of the hole and the signal cleaned up to a 4 way 31-32. Lots of meat on the bones as they say...
Another nice looking coin popped.
Then a really smooth disk popped, thought for sure it was a KG until I got home.
I can make out a 7 at the end and at certain angles it looks 1797, but could be 1807. My first Draped Bust Large Cent!!!
Here’s a group shot of the roundness.
And a “mud butt” after falling and sliding down the ravine trying to climb out of this site, I’ve learned to toss the detector and shovel if I sense the imminent tumble...
Good luck out there!
