Went out with Skunemonk, Goingdown, and Earthworks for a Sunday hunt at the old Rev War site...we had a good day. This is a site that has produced 1803 large cent recently and 8 mid-1900 silver along the creek in the last visit alone. So we start searching along the creek and I hit a nice 52 Rosie within about 15 min...then Skunemonk gets a Merc and a silver Washington quarter, then I got a Merc, so the silver was flowing at the site. Earthworks got a couple of Indians, 1890 and something else, Goingdown, he can say, he has the best story of
a cool find he should post on his own...so it was hours later and we were heading to the car but I was still thinking there's stuff on the way, as that's when you hit stuff end of day...these guys all have their detectors off and are giving me crap about continuing and I'm noticing the dirt road is much lower than the field above, meaning the road is really old because it was worn away lower than the field over many years...so I'm telling me the theory and then I get this great signal and they are busting my chops watching me dig,,,and BANG...I posterized them, like a slam dunk over their heads in basketball...pulled out a large cent right in front of their faces (no date and degraded, but still can see the wreath)...you never saw three detectors come off shoulders and turned on so quickly...then we all searched another hour and I found a three ringer bullet, as did Skunemonk and he also found a nice musketball unfired. A great day all in all. Photos below...Earthworks says it's a rouge holder because that's what he cleaned out of it. I thought it was a kane top, but I gather he is right since that is what he saw inside. -- more photos below my post -- from Earthworks
