Valley Hunting is Gorges

Went back to the same woods as the other day...Got there about 1PM, and hunted till dark...Nothing all day long but cartridge cases, shotgun shells, and can lids... Then just before dark, I headed down by the creek, and hit back to back nickel signals less than 2 inches each...Dug (scraped the surface) for the first one and pulled a 1869 Shield Nickel in decent shape. Next came the 1889 V Nickel, also in great shape. The ring was found on top of the tallest hill in the area...It is Sterling, but most of the stones are missing and are glass. The bottle I just thought was neat. This area has history back to the late 1600s. It is brutal hunting, and a major workout, but persistence pays off... HH,

4th hunt was a blast!

First target was a 1924 SLQ...WHOOHOO!!!...Next came a 1951 Washington Quarter, then a few wheats, and a little clad before the rain started and it got too dark out...

HH,

3rd times a charm!

I knew I was in a good spot when I started getting 12-16s on the e-Trac. They are always the old style Ring Tabs... Nice hunt today netting 1941 and 1953 Washington Quarters. I also got a 1934 Buffalo Nickel, and a Silver ring with Amethyst. Also 9 Wheats (1917, 23, 24, 25, 42, 45, 51, 52, 53) And a Canadian 1964 Cent.

First time out for 2015

The ground is still rock hard in a LOT of spots, but we hit the side of a hill where the snow had thawed in a lot of spots. I found a 1943 War Nickle and a few clad coins...My Buddy Kevin found a Mercury Dime and a few clad coins...Not a bad start for the year...

HH,

New Year Starts this Weekend for me

My Buddy Kevin will be back in town for a month as of this weekend. We at least hope to hunt the woods, but hopefully the ground will be thawed out enough to dig. Will let you all know how it goes... HH,
