After Friday's bust of a hunt I was really wanting to get out again Saturday to save what humility I had left :lol: Sorry Jim the friday hunt was a disappointing one but sometimes this is what you get on new sites .
So Saturday I meet "the boys" and we head out just before sunrise , all dressed for hunting season we saw a couple of hunters on the way to the first sight. Not even twenty minutes into detecting i get my first copper , it wasn't great signal and only one way because of iron nearby. I retrieve the nail head and said to myself (this didn't make that tone) so sure enough i went over the hole again and i get a solid copper tone that was a couple inches deeper in the hole . even though it was a bit dark still I could see the rings on the reverse .

a 1787 fugio penny :happy:and now the pressure was off me and on Dave and Todd :lol::lol: . just after I shown them the coin I saw the sun rise up through the trees so i snapped a picture.

One thing not to do around Dave and Todd is to put pressure on them to produce finds :lol: very shortly Todd had a copper , then Dave finds a coins spill and well not just any coin spill either , lucky ??? :hairpulling::needadrink:
Before we moved on from that site I did recover a trime of my own

The rest of the day just produced a few buttons (all pretty common flat or tombac types) a couple of large caliber musket ball (one dropped) and a trio of shoe buckle chapes that someone "strung" together which I thought was pretty unusual and cool.
a couple location or action shots
