Friday
a couple hour hunt at a colonial home in my home town.not much a IH penny and a couple toy cars from the 1980's.
Saturday
Todd & I were granted permission on private property that had a mill site and a cellar hole.We invited Dan along and figured we'd have a nice virgin area as the owner said nobody ever detected it.WRONG! place was hammered to death but we all squeaked out a copper and some buttons.there was another cellar hole close to road on his land so we drove up to take a peak.that's when Dan started doin the jitterbug after getting out of his truck.yellow jackets up his pant leg.hate them things! it was soo humid and we couldn't drink enough water.Dan wasn't feeling good after that and decided he was gonna head out.Todd and I walked up to the trashy cellar hole to swing a little bit.we could hear the thunder in the distance and Todd yells "DAVE! you'll never believe what I just dug!" i go over and look and holy crap! and i'll let him tell ya the rest .what a day he had!
I got a KGIII a couple buttons ,one being a designed tombac that I think was in a fire if house burnt down.& a cool iron chopper blade which i kept.
Hope Dan feels better.was a miserable day to be outside but we tried to hang tough and come home with something and we all did.
Get well soon Dan!

I don't think it gets any more humid here than it did today. Whatever Todd got has to be even sweeter because of it. Hardcore for sure.

The finds don't always go to the best detectorists and the relics to the most persistent... But that's the way the smart money bets....and that is why I will always bet on you guys making the finds! Fantastic hunt and nice devotion to the hunt! Saw the video too. And it is fantastic! :wow:

Very nice photos, to bad about the yellow jackets. At least you all scored a copper. Gotta go watch a video now....

Todd was just talking about yellow jackets to Al , I think Dave set me up with that picture as i was probably standing on the nest ;) it was only moments later I was repeatedly stung by them little:ticked:I wanted to get out today but work schedule won't allow it :bangahead02:
