Donnie B. and I hit a couple of older sites today but unfortunately they were pretty depleted of goodies . After spending half the day at these two sites all I got for my efforts were a very tiny thimble and a broken piece from an early saddle pommel . I knew about a close by cellar site but it was right behind a newer home so I asked Donnie how was his door knocking skills ;) He stepped up to the challenge ! The home owner "Paul" didn't even know there was an old foundation behind his home a few hundred yards away !:shocked03:After showing him a small display of items I typically find at these sites and Donnie's Southern charm "WE WERE IN" !:lol:

The briars and wild rose bushes were terrible and it was a challenge to find the small cellar ! the swinging room was very limited but it wasn't long before I had a great sounding target right on the cellar lip !:cheering:It was a nice "Jaw harp" :happydance01: about 15 minutes later I get a nice tone that rang about +67-68 on the DFX , 2 1/2" inches down I see a small silver coin :shocked03: ! I shout to Donnie " I got a half real " !!!:bananadance::loveit: I had to post it on the forum via cell phone !!:thumbsup02: about an hour later I get another great "screamer" of a target and pull up a rough looking King George II half penny !:happydance02:

Its been about two weeks since going out and I really needed this !:detecting::yes:

Thanks all

Dan

The site was so choked off with briars and the ticks are out so it made for one tough hunt , Donnie and I will probably detect this one much later in the season or even next year just after the snows , Thanks Chris

If only I had the money to do so Noah !:lol:


A real beauty, Dan! :wow:

Not nearly as nice as yours Drew but it is odd how we both found the same year half real in the same year :crazy::lol: Thank you sir !

Thank you Jeff , it was Donnie's first time seeing Spanish silver at a cellar site and I think he was more excited than I:embarrassed::lol: !

A copper and Spanish silver equals a fine hunt Dan. Congrats!

Del. The work makes the silver all the more appreciated to the detectorist! I'd mount that coin and hang it on the wall! :grin:

Congrats on the nice looking 1781 Half Real, Dan! They are really small coins, you did a great job sniffing it out on the lip of that cellar hole! Nice going on the KGII Half Penny too.

Well Tony , this weekend made up for the lack of any coins at my last hunt . I only got about a dozen buttons , mostly tombacs. Thanks




Very nice finds Dan, glad you made it out!

Thank you Darren !

We might go back with some hedge trimmers to open the area up more as I'm sure there is , Thanks


Congrats! Very nice details too! :perfect10:

This coin falls into that time era I like most and to think the revolutionary war was in full swing when this coin was minted . Thanks Ken




Couple awesome coins there! congrats

Thank you sir !

Way to go Dan! Looks like you had to work a little in the briers for that one! Ironically, some of my best finds have come from cellar holes right next to homes or walking paths. It's almost as if they're so obvious other detectorists just pass them by figuring they must have been hit years ago.
