I returned to my picnic grove honey hole on Friday for a three hour hunt and was not disappointed again. I decided to hunt an area that is filled with trash. I usually swing the coil over this area on the way back to the car. On Thursday after a short search in the woods I slowly searched over this area on my way to the car and picked-up 3 shallow wheats. So I decided to put the X-8 coil on and work the area as slow as I could and it was a great idea. The first pass produce a nice coin spill an 1890 Indian, 1899 V Nickel and a 1916 heart stoping Merc. The video shows me cleaning it to reveal the mint mark, no D. I also found another V 1890, a 1912 Barber dime, 10 wheats and a first for me an 1881 Canadian Cent. On my last pass was when digging all those pultabs paid off. I had a 12-26 jumping up to 12-32 on the Etrac at 2 Inches. I could not believe what was in the hole, it was a large Mens 10K class ring from a high school in my area, class of 1976. It has initials on it and I am going to attempt to find the owner. One thing I thought was cool is it had yarn wrapped around it to make it fit a girls small finger. I also found $1.78 in clad and twice as much trash as I normally find in the same size area. I will be back on Monday to work the trash again.

Great hunt,FF!! Thats one heck of a 10K nugget :cheesysmile: Theres no feeling like having that gold come out of the ground and feeling the heft in your hand. Its great that your going to attempt to find the owner, it'll probably make thier day even more thumbsup01

lol You got that right! Thats a Honker for sure! :yes: <: Whoa ! Nice find!
Do you remember the numbers it was giving? :huh: I know that area is a mess with mixed signals :hairpulling: , but roughly? :thinkingabout:
You know you had a outstanding hunt when you rip through a rare (for your area) IH, not one... but two :groovy: V nickles, a flawless Barber dime :shocked01: a near heart stopping 1916 Merc, and a nice 1800's Canadian large cent to get to the real star of the show! :shocked04: lol
This is one of those hunts that keep the addiction deeply rooted in ya! :yes: lol
Off the charts Jeff!! |:confused:)
Congrats! :grin:
