Good morning all! Well I made another trip to hunt the east coast. And so far I have no complaints. The hunt for me started Sunday, I met up with Mike (McCDig) in Baltimore for park hunt. We hit the ground, it was cold but sunny and it ended up not being to bad. About 45 minutes into it I got a sweet 12/41 signal on the CTX.. it was about 7" deep and sounded good all the way around. Dug a decent size plug and flipped it out, and to my surprise I pulled out a 1882 seated dime. My first seated!!!! Unfortunately it had been clipped with what I could only assume was a push mower since this thing is great shape.
Then the next first for me was a mini ball down about 7 to 8 inches. Fun fun.. over all that day was fantastic and McCDig was a great guy, it is so fun meeting such great people and enjoying so much history..

The second day was another wonderful day with Brad (Treblehunter) We hit 4 different fields and we had some great finds in all of them. Brad himself dug 2 2 cent pieces in different fields a hr apart.. unbelievable.

I ended up on the day finding a toasted draped bust large cent, 1874 indian, musket ball, civil war infantry button, a merc, couple other buttons, cufflinks, and so on. What a great hunt..


Thank you McCDig and Treblehunter!
