Hi Everyone, It all started on Friday with a extra hunt day Scheduled. My 5 yr old had to be signed up for school so my wife took the day off.
Me and my boy decided to go back to the soldiers cellar hole as I call it and see if we could start to listen for those deeper signals. There was so much metal at the site in the 0 to 6 inch range that we needed to get it out of the way before I could concentrate on the deeper older items.
Well it panned out great. The day was cold about 30 but we bundled up and went anyways. After about maybe a half hr into the hunt I got a faint but slight chirp of the tone i.d on the dfx in the background. I took a shovel so I could get real deep this time. Well after about 3 digs down into the hole maybe a foot or deeper pops a large cent with three holes drilled into it.
I looked at my son let him hold the large cent and said o.k it's about time. It was about 12 to 14 inches deep. No lie so I took a pick to show you guys. I know it's hard to tell but I have no reason to over exaggerate.
We continued the hunt and about a hr later I got another good signal up against a tree. This time it was only a 7 inch signal and read good and loud. One shovel full out and then another and there it was. Large cent number 2 with a hole above the head. It would have got deeper but a huge root blocked it.
I managed to find 2 flat buttons and another button with the 6 star on it witch I still don't know what they are. No back to this one either.
We were now into the hunt about 2 hrs or so and he was getting cold so we packed it up and I took him to get something to eat. At that point I was more than satisfied with the hunt.
Saturday my son sat out but Lance decided to make this hunt. I found another really nice riflemans button and one more flat button and some other neat relics to go with it. It was getting slow but I did find a Roosevelt and some other neat things while there. They must have been lost by hunters.
The large cents were dated 1817 and 1836. The bell had a patent date of Oct 24 1876 and May 14 1878
I invited another friend to come and hunt with us. He didn't follow my directions into the place so I had to go on a man hunt to find him. He eventually made it and found a neat token but not old. It was dated 1962 and was good for 5 cents in trade.
It was a really good weekend we had alot of fun and I need a rest for a week . I am beat up from all these hunts but it's really hard for me to stay in.
Thanks for looking
