Here's my finds from my last few hunts. First hunt was a soaking, rainy day! Started off finding two 3 ringers less than an inch in the ground on top of some rocks. Came back around later on the other side of the fence and dug another 3 ringer about 6 inches down. They all have a cool little nipple on the top of them. I also found an aluminum token that says "Good For 2 cents When Returned With Our Bottle" on the front and "Swiss Dairy - 403 - 5. Capt. St." on the back. Neat find...I don't find too many tokens. Then I found a REALLY nice 1918 wheatie about 11 inches in the ground. Couldn't believe the F75 picked that up in the highly mineralized ground, with a good tone on top of it!! Later I found a small flat tombac button.
Second hunt which was a short half hour or so hunt after work this past Saturday. I hunted a small section and I ended up finding my very first 1957 silver Roosevelt and a 1962 penny about a foot from it. That was a nice little treat for a short hunt.
Last hunt was another rainy day and my detector went a little haywire! My first find was a nice dropped .54 calibur gardner after that I found a couple deep modern pennies! Darn deep pennies making you think ya got something good! lol I started up a path through the woods, about then I got a call from my cousin(flyinryan2) who told me he found an old coin spill. So I walked over to see what he had. Check out his finds here: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/t...ian-penny-wheaties-1920d-merc-coin-spill.html
I left that spot and headed across the property to some fields I haven't detected yet and wasn't having much luck...went up in front of a small patch of woods and came across part of a horseshoe and then I found 3 more .54 cal. gardners and a burnside. The one gardner is very interesting. It's picture below. Looks like it was either in the stages of being melted, or I wonder if it turned out that way when they were making the bullet? Either way, a great find! Later on I found a crusty indian head(my 5th for the year) to bad of shape to post and my second 1918 wheat penny. A little worn though. Thanks for looking guys and girls and happy hunting! Pictures aren't in order by the way. I don't know why it doesn't upload them in order any more.
