Coinnut and i hit a couple of sites today ( first site's picture was taken today the second i had on file from earlier this year,thats why you see leaves still on the trees), not only were we looking out for deer hunters but the wind was so strong you had to watchout for falling tree branches( and some were pretty big to :shocked04:).i had the lucky coil today and found a very nice complete colonial shoe buckle ( it still has its brass pin so the chape and tongue move freely :cheesysmile:) it gave off a great tone and was surprisingly shallow ( about 2 1/2 inches deep) i thought for sure it was going to be a beer can :rolleyes: a little later had another great tone at about 5 inches (love those solid 84 vdi's at that depth :smitten: and out popped up was the 1819 large cent copper ( looks like someone was carving on the back of this one :mad:) and a few buttons round out the day. :grin: :grin: hey thanks for looking and hurry up and get out there people.

Very good hunt Dan. I like that large cent. :grin: I know what you mean about those high, solid VDI numbers, especially when hitting on them while out in the woods. Good stuff!

Yikes!! What did you do to that copper lol When I left it was perfect :confused: Nice day's hunt there Dan!!! ;) You got a copper and I got the ox knob :twirlingeyes: :grin: Bits and pieces for me today. But I did get a cow bell just incase I need one :rolleyes: Plus that E Trac sure can get the little stuff. Got an eyelet just incase I need one too lol But the weather held out and it was great to get out, even though my arm kills :crying02:
