Took me 13 hours to capture a small tribe and their Fatty Chief

[Goes4ever]

Hunted fields all weekend, friday..saturday..and sunday...I must have found the most UNproductive field sites in my whole county! There was virtually NO conductive signals. Absolutely some of the worst field sites I have ever hunted. Besides for a few shotgun shells and broken harmonica reeds, what you see in these pictures is ALL the conductive targets I found in 13 hours of hunting field sites where old homesteads once stood. All were on the 1886 map, a few of them were gone by 1914, so I had some pretty old sites.What shocks me most is NO buttons, normally field sites that don't give up coins at least have flat buttons. I don't think I have ever hunted fields all weekend and recovered no buttons.....lol. I have to laugh because I don't know what else to do.


So in 13 hours I managed 4 cents, so I made about a 1/3 penny an hour LMAO.


the indians are 1905, 1903, 1865, and the fatty is a 1863. Got a crotal bell, buckel, clock winder key, small musket ball, and the tiger eye looking thing, no idea what that is. Not sure what the grey/silver colored thing is either, any clues?


So laugh with me at my extremely small pile of conductive targets from an entire weekend of hunting!

Some days are diamonds, some days are coal.

Gotta put in the time, but you already know that.

well i like Indians i have only found 5 of them . if they are more then 3" down they come up as a low tone on my cheap MD so im probably passing them up .but i hunt parks most of the time looking for silver I would be digging trash all day looking for them . when i try looking for gold I fined them every now and then .

In my decade of searching in the 80's, I found one Indian.

One of my old friends was spending the weekend with my family. We went to a camp outside of Toledo, and every step of the way he guffawed me, harassed me, made fun of me detecting. I had just started out for the day.

I got a good signal with my Garrett Deepseeker ADS III - 1982, and my old buddy was right beside me. I probed in that pound cake soil and found it about an inch deep. I stuck my bent head screwdriver just shy of the signal, and popped up a very nice and not corroded 1894 IH. My good old buddy looked at that and asked me if my wife was using her detector!

It might have been the first IH I found, and I hope it is not the last, but the moment was made in my memory of how my old friend changed his tune the moment I popped out a very nice IH from so shallow a spot.

Who knows whatever happened to my old friend, but I'll never forget the moment

It really is strange there were no buttons, that usually is what you have the most of

I've hunted for 13 hours with some cans and a machine screw to show for it! I'd be stupid happy to find four IH's
