Here's my 8 cents worth. Found 2 IH's, 6 wheaties and my first CW shoulder scale.
Got out yesterday and was FINALLY able to do some digging since the ground had thawed. Went out with my buddy Chris and we tried a new spot first that we had gained permission for and had some high hopes until my machine would not ground balance. I'm going along worried my machine was malfunctioning. I walked over to Chris and he was having the same problem. We had no clue what was going on. The ground was either HIGHLY mineralized which was weird for the area, they had electric fence that surrounded the property, but it wasn't on and even if it was I've hunted around it before and it never affected it. So we had to scrap that place and head to the next. This place was way better and machines were fine! This place holds early 1900's all the way to 1700's relics. My finds weren't that old, but there was also signals every swing. I basically cherry picked MOST signals about 60. I ended up with a harmonica reed, 4 early wheat pennies and 2 early 1900's IH's. We left this site for another time just because the abundance of signals and tried to gain permission to some land that had an early spring house on it which sits directly across from an early 1800's church, but skunked once again because the landowner wasn't home. So we headed down the road to another spot that had a home site that dated back to 1756. It was in the woods and it was surrounded by a bunch of modern trash and bullets. I prefer a nice field over woods any day, but I did manage to find 2 wheat pennies, 3 ringer and my first shoulder scale which was down about 15 inches! All in all not a bad day. Hope to get out again real soon. Thanks for looking and HH!
