Vetavitavegemins ???

I knew my day would be a good one, because I ate my wheaties...1919, 42x2, 52, 52D

 This led to a slight increase in my Silver intake, which is always a good thing...1943 Merc

My Doctor also told me to get Plenty of Copper, but not too much Zinc...

Wheats and Merc were 8-9 inches deep and all was found with the Fisher CZ 7a Pro and 8" coil...

HH,

Another Silver Scored with the Fisher CZ 7a Pro

Went to a park Thursday Afternoon that did not produce much when I hit it last year with the AT Pro.  I went over the same area with the Fisher CZ 7a Pro, and got some stuff I missed, including a 1958 Silver Rosie, and a 1958D Wheat. Came out with $1.51 in countable clad.  This for a 2 1/2 hour hunt...I took the bus into Camillus for this hunt...Spent more time waiting and on the bus than I did hunting though. Left at 2pm, got home at 8:30pm...

A Cool Sunday Afternoon Hunt

  Went back to a new section of an old field I have hit many times over the years...I had always been hesitant of hunting this area, as it is almost directly in from of the village court house. A friend of mine hit it one weekend and no one bugged him, so I thought...What the heck...It is loaded with clad, but I did manage a few goodies...A FULL HORN 1913 Type 2 Buffalo Nickel and a 1928 Wheat...Found $2.06 in clad for 2 hours of hunting.

All were found with the Fisher CZ 7a Pro and 8" coil.

Happy Hunting,

Bag Seal

I found the lead bag seal...it says:

CA/89 on one side and ?HNYC RR on the other...I am no railroad buff, but I think that is the (Something) Hudson-New York City Rail Road...have no idea which branch though. Wonder what it was doing in a park up in Marcellus, NY where no tracks are near?

Sorry No Picture, as it is too cruddy to read on the scanner.

HH,

Met up with 2 new hunters from my area...I took them to a little village about 20 minutes from me, where I had heard that Silvers had been found in the past, but when I got to the sites, I was disappointed...The First place was a schoolyard, but the ground was nothing but heavy fill dirt, loaded with rocks and the digging was impossible. We moved to a local park in the same village, and the digging was much better, but there were 2 parties going on in the park and we were limited on the areas we could hunt...Did not manage any Silver, but we all found a little clad, a lot of junk, and I found what I think is an old Railroad lock...I also found a lead bag seal, but I somehow lost it...Musta been pulled out of my pouch when I pulled out my drink, or my snacks. Oldest coin was a 1939 nickel that was actually just under the grass roots, and looks like it was not buried long. The rest of the coins were all dug at from 6-8 inches deep with my Garrett GTI 2500 and 9.5" coil. The 2 shiny quarters were surface finds. The pottery (crockery) shard was one of many that I was finding at the schoolyard, so I wonder what was once there???

State Fair and Back Pain

Well, about 2 weeks ago, I decided I was going to walk 2.5 miles instead of waiting for a bus...I compressed a disk in my lower back and have been in pain ever since...It is getting better, but my back is still tight, and I think the reason is the fact that my right leg is shorter than my left, and throws my hips out of alignment when I walk.
The back did loosen up enough to allow me to attend the State Fair for the last 3 days...I saw the CDB (Charlie Daniel's Band) on the last day, and what a great show!...For a 76 year old man who started his career in 1958, He can still put on one hell of a show!
I should be back out detecting later this week, or this weekend...Wish me good luck and good health...
As some of you may know, I asked to be removed from the findmall forums...I am very opinionated against Minelab, and make no qualms about telling others that I think their products are overpriced eye candy...I would rather buy AMERICAN, and save my money...Nothing my Fisher cannot find that a Minelab can.
Remember...ALL detectors are meant to find metals...The ONLY difference is in frequencies, coil design, filter design and power consumption. Why do you need a GPS or color screen, or all that other Jazz to find a coin? Save your coins, and find more coins...

Happy Hunting,
