Met up with GKlug today at a drained lake not too far from me, just wanted to say ive tried it. Very neat scenery and even a visitor showed up! 20150531_084527.jpg20150531_084524.jpg20150531_090111.jpgBoth our detectors were almost silent, very surprising that the targets were so limited, did manage one of the nicest preserved 1940 wheats I ever dug. We stayedthere for about an hour or so and decided id try to get a permission or two in. got 3 no's and then finally got a yes, a nice older woman who said "sure as long as you show me what you've found", well we were at it about 10 minutes and she came out and says "oh I have to change my mind, I called my kids and theyre upset at me":BangHead: Oh well, such is life I guess, I tried 2 more places after that and no one home, ended up dropping greg back off at his car and on my way home I stopped by a house that old dude and I have tried to get permission at before, someone was finally home, I got a yes and right away got a 1903 Indian, followed by some clad, a Pennsylvania transportation authority token, some wheats, a 1924 buffalo nickel, and a 64 roosie, So last ditch effort salvaged the day, would've stayed longer but mother nature decided to POUR on me, nice place that the owners invited me back to as long as theyre home. Thanks for looking and HH!!20150531_160700.jpg20150531_160705.jpg20150531_165057.jpg20150531_165030.jpg20150531_165049.jpgUntitled.png

Nice going. Perseverance saved the day lol. Which location was it?
 

Sweet!!

Nice how one stop can change the whole day around, Great hunt!!
 

Great digs. I read hoping in the last place you stopped that you found a war nickel.
 

I think gaining good permissions is the hardest part of detecting. You wound up getting some nice finds!
 

Congrats on making it through a tough day of permissions. You rescued some keepers.:occasion14:
 

Nice haul. have a twin to the mini shoe buckle I found last week. That token looks sweet. WTG on all the finds

oh no aversion, I just don't have the gear, and I don't have a clue on how to begin, how to dig, retrieve, etc etc lol

Thanks creade, I love finding them. Last year I focused so much on silver, my Indian count snuck up on me and I ended up with 48!
