Epic Hunt, Coins Galore!

[The Rebel]

Went to some new sites today. Was on the lookout for any yellow jackets nests & was lucky to avoid 3 of them today.

Seems like we're in for an early fall as they seemed all over the place. 2 Of them were in the walls of the cellar holes & 1 was in the ground by the frame of a truck.

1st hit of the day was a 16 Wheatie by some stairs and 1/2 a musket ball. That was all I was able to pull from that site.

Moved on down the road to a 2nd site and my 1st hit was a Barber Dime, Sweet! Moved around the hole until I saw nest #1 and retreated back to another side & then saw nest #2. No more hits from there so moved onto another site.

At the next site I really had to work the site hard & way in the back finally got a good signal & out pops KG II! Not much was left there so hit another site.

This last place gave up the goodies: CT Copper (that I thought was a button until I cleaned it), 1910 V Nickel, 1 No date Buffalo, 1 Merc., 1889 IH, & 6 Wheaties (14, 16, 17, 19 & 2 Blanks), Sash Buckle and a Silver Plated Spoon (Niagara Falls Silver Co. 1877).

The designed button, 2 flat buttons, Clip & the 03 IH came from my last hunt with Dave & Todd.

HH,
Roger

great day Roger , you picked up some nice relics and coins . great pictures too :thumbsup02:

I like the barber and the buckle. Buckle the best cuz it came out with incredible detail. Now cuz George everyone seems to be looking out for yellowjackets. I had a huge nest a month and a half ago near my basement window and the spray didn't kill them for some reason.

[CTTodd]

That's a hunt and a half. Good for you

awesome day Rog! nice lookin cellar holes

[Lodge Scent]

That's quite a hunt! A lot of nice targets and no stings!

[OxShoeDrew]

Awesome hunt Roger, those are large holes. I've let to see a yellow jacket nest. The frost will be here before we know it. Congrats!

[The Rebel]

Thanks Guys! Had a blast yesterday. That last site a bunch of the coins were all in a pretty tight area (approx 8x8), someone must have had a hole in their pocket. Definitely more there, just need to get back out in the next few weeks to hit it harder. Looks like it was lived in for a long time.

After a while the yellow jackets started invading all of the areas I was digging so I had to retreat so they could inspect my work. Will be glad to see them suckers die off.

Thanks Drew! That's the problem with them, they make their nests underground so you don't see them until it's too late. I learned my lesson from my last hunt with Dave & Todd, so I wrapped duct tape around the top of my boots so they can't fly up my pants leg if I happen to step on a nest again.

I'm a bit paranoid of hornets, wasps & Yellow Jackets.....:crazy:

[Tony Two-Cent]

Those pesky yellow jackets, don't they know that there is history that needs to be recovered. Very nice group of finds, would love to find any State copper. Always like to see Barbers and your wheats are nice early ones.

:congrats:on all those keepers
