I may have found a decent site to hunt after work for the foreseeable future. :crossfingers:

Ironically, it's a site that I have hunted many, many times. It's an old school grounds that I hunted repeatedly when I first got my E-Trac. When I initially hunted this site I took a few loops around the north side of the grounds an didn't find anything, so I wrote it off as a dead area.

Obviously I was wrong. :embarrassed:

Tonight after work I decided to try that "dead area" again just for the heck of it and I immediately found a 1910 V Nickel. Hmmm... I guess it isn't dead after all.

In 2 1/2 hours I found 3 Indian Heads, 8 wheat cents, 1 V Nickel and 1 Barber Dime. Of the 8 wheat cents, 7 of them are from the teens.

I guess I know what I'll be doing after work for the rest of this week. :thumbsup01:

Here are tonight's finds. I don't have them cleaned up yet:

63007

Thanks for looking and happy hunting! :beerbuddy:

Nice finds Tony. Was the increase in finds in that area due to having more experience with the Etrac?

I would say yes. That, and the fact that the ground is really wet right now. We have had a LOT of rain lately. But mostly I think it's just that I understand the E-Trac a lot better now.

Yet, another great hunt. Great finds tony.
I guess its true. No spot is ever thoroughly hunted out. The silver is nice,but I really like the V nickel. That's another one still on my bucket list.

Way to go Tony! Seems like revisiting old sites is paying off for both of us! What is that piece in the middle? It look slike a downhill skier to me. Bets wishes and HH, Dave.

Thanks, Dave! You're right about the object in the middle, it does have a skier on it. It may be a zipper pull from a ski jacket.

Nice dead area :lol: What a difference it makes when it rains, along with having more experience under your belt with the E Trac. Some nice looking coins. Sites can produce again, and again, under the right conditions.

Nice going Tony. Im sure there are more finds at that school. Give it some more personal time and it will pay off again.

Tony, now that's the way to resurrect a "dead" area. Obviously you have mastered the Etrac to get those nice keepers. :thumbsup02:
