Wandering The Fields

Today Ron and I set off searching for a 1930's to 1950's picnic grove that Ron had recently acquired permission for us to hunt.

The potential area was quite large and we wandered around for close to 4 hours looking for the actual grove. We didn't make contact
with the grove yet... but we did find just a few silvers and Wheat cents to keep us in pursuit.

Ron picked up two silver Washington quarters and a Wheat cent and I found a silver Canadian quarter and two Wheat cents.

The picnic area hid well in many acres of hills, flat lands and woods on two sides of a creek today. Sooner or later she'll show up. thumbsup01

The one silver I did find today is a coin I've been wanting to find for a while now and was happy to dig one today. The composition
of this coin is .800 Silver, .075 Copper (other 12.5% unknown). The 12.5% must be contributing to the rust. lol


After talking with the farmer for a while, it turns out there are several cellar holes and foundations from an early settlement further up the creek. We'll have to add those to our list too. :yes:

Looks like you got a sweet spot there, cellar holes? <: Did you check historic aerials or old maps to pinpoint the grove, should be a silver mine! eace:

It looks like you guys may be on to something great, Joe. :yes: I wish you much success on future returns. That silver quarter is a fine one.

That is a beautiful quarter, rust and all :yes: :clapping:

I agree with the others... you have found a sweet spot! Can't wait to see what else you unearth from there. :->

Congrats Joe. Looking forward to seeing your future finds.

Joe, hope you can locate the actual grove, sounds like huge potential, the picinic grove, some cellar holes. I have yet to dig a Canadian quarter (silver). Congrats and looking forward to your future finds and posts

Good luck finding that grove. Just listen for the trash, gives away the hot zones every time.

looks like you may have just scratced the surface on that site good luck on your future hunts i also like the quater dennis

WTG Joe, that's my kind of wondering. Keep at I'm sure there is a lot more to come. Good luck on the return hunt.

That sounds like the kind of place I like to wonder around, nice score on the silver and I hope you guys find some good stuff on the return trips!

good luck Joe , hope you find the grove and settlement
