OLD Stonehouse in Southwestern, PA hunt - Colonial Coppers & Large Cent!

Long time no post, but a friend and I decided to put in a little time hunting an old abandoned stone house in historic Washington county, Pa after work today...

Here's some cell phone pictures of the site:

And here are the two colonial coppers and 1810 Large Cent:

All of which are in pretty poor shape, and the date is only readable on the Large cent. I'll post some better pictures of the finds when my friend sends me his pics, and I get some batteries for my digital camera.

By the way - This was my first serious outing!!!!!! (I've only played around in my mom's yard with my F-2 finding clad LOL) My friend has been detecting for years and showed me the ropes

My friend found the Colonial copper that is in better shape than mine, but I lucked out and pulled the 1810 large cent and the other beat up colonial out of the old black soil



We also found numerous bullets, 4 wheaties, and a lock in the duration of 2ish hours.



Like I said more pics coming soon! HH! Thanks for looking!

Colonials are where the fun is at. Sweep until there are no beeps.

Nice going and nice location. You can bet for sure that if you found three large cents on the first time there, that you will find more coins and relics over time. Can't wait to see them!

What Kirk Said ! Pound that place. Hit it from different angle and be sure to overlap your sweeps. There should be some cool old iron and buttons there too. Great Finds

I'm the friend he is talking about. He realy did well for the first time. The junk there was unreal we were getting peeps every swing. Hoping to go back soon.

It was pretty funny when he said come here I think I found something. As soon as I saw that green disk I knew what it was. Then he said 10 minutes later your going to kill me. All in all it was pretty funny and a great day.

Very nice! You must be liking that F2 right about now.

When an experienced person brings along a newbie who finds three coppers on his first real outing, there's a term for that.
Seriously, that's a nice hunt and looks like a great site.

Since you're just starting out, here's a good habit to develop. Put those coins in 2x2 flips with location info. Keep a pic of the location if possible, or circle the area on a town map.

Then, years later, you won't simply have a jumbled box of finds with no idea where any of them came from. Because trust me, you will forget some details that you didn't think you'd ever forget.

That spot befits the season. Halloween that is, can you look inside? You guys from PA are sic. Would be nice to have some places like that in MI. There are but most are in the hood.
