Don and I got together today for a beautiful fall hunt at a spot we hunted a couple of years ago. The last time we hunted here he got a nice fatty indian and I got 3 V nickels, but no silver. Today we both had a good day. Don got the first silver of the day with a really nice 1917 Merc. He also got a nice indian and several wheats. My first target was a 1919 Merc and soon followed by several wheats and a really nice 1907 Barber dime. I also found a 1907 indian head penny in the same hole as a pocket watch. We hunted there for a couple of hours and moved on to a park that was nearby where I picked up my 1952 Rosie to complete my first trifecta! The first place we hunted was a park that existed at the turn of the century and nothing remains there but a few posts where a picnic pavillion sat. The views from up there are awesome...the hike up the hill is not so awesome! Here are the pics!

Haha...forgot the rest... I am posting a pic of the indian and pocket watch (top right) I found today and a really nice pocket watch and old hatchet that I had found on the last hunt with Tim at the cornfield. It's my first hatchet head like this. I'm not sure if the watch is silver. It cleaned up nice!

Great digs! That looks like an amazing place to detect. Sometimes the surroundings where one hunts are as good as the finds themselves.
