Happy Trails Update ( March 13, 2007 ) All Items found with the ACE 250

[ringfinder]

Hi all, Gary and I got out a Tuesday of this week. We started off going to an old School house site, then went to a old Church site and ended our day at the Happy Trails site.

Gary started off finding a few good coins at the School house site and the church site. He found 2 IH's 1883 & 1895 and 2 wheat pennies 1919 & 1925. He also found a Barber dime 1910 all from these sites.

I found just a 1891 Seated Quarter and 2 wheat pennies 1916 & 1916 D.

We then went to the Happy Trails site and started popping the silver out. Gary found a really nice SLQ 1926, 3 War Nickels '42 P, '45 S,
'45 S, a Buffalo nickel 1936, a Mercury Dime '38 & 2 Roosevelt Dimes '59 & '62. He also found 3 wheat pennies '41, '44, ' & '50 D. He also found a Gold and Silver Charm, a Gold Cross and a Silver Indian Head Ring. His old Garrett ACE 250 was smokin!

I found a Mercury Dime 1941 and 2 Roosevelt Dimes 1946 & 1956. One Buffalo Nickel 1936 and 4 wheat pennies '37, '44, '54, & '55. I also dug a Black Onyx ring up.

All in all, we had a pretty good day. I am still a little handicapped as I fractured my left wrist.

Hope you all had a great week before the bad weather set in.

HH all, Ringfinder

"Just a seated Quarter" That is the BomB. Hope to get one of those this year. All in all - Great finds. Hot spots always seem to produce again and again.

The ACE 250 is a decent machine overall, but when I used the pinpoint, it would be off by an inch or two. It looks like you slapped "Miss Liberty." By the way, add 30 years to that quarter.

Nope I didn't hit or make that mark on the Seated Quarter, it came out of a field, so I guess it got hit by a plow. The mark on it isn't shinny, like when you do scratch one. I usually pinpoint pretty close with the ACE 250 and if I do miss it, my trusty SunRay Probe will pick it up!

Yes you are right, I have corrected that mistake on the Seated Quarter, Thanks

Those are some fabulous finds...love that Indian Head ring and the Seated....Great day for both of you!

I would have stayed at the church site all day. How many acres is this site? You guys seem to pull more coins out each time. How deep was the Seated?

The Church site is just an acre in size. I found the Seated Coin at a One Room School house we hunt everytime the guy works the field. The coin was only 3 or 4 inches in the ground and it locked on to Quarter on the ACE 250. That always gives you a nice feeling, especially at an old site.

Good job, bud! We just got dumped with snow, so I won't be out for awhile now. Go find some more Seated!
