Relic hunting with Trout Hunter

[coinnut]

Had a chance to go detecting with Ernie out his way. He had an old field that he's been doing and we gave it a shot for a while. It was an older field than I thought it would be, and a bunch of good targets came out of it. But I must say I had to ignore all that can slaw lol That means we left all the gold behind too Ernie It was great meeting you and thanks for the warm welcome. We had a good days hunt. So here's the goods. Some nice circa 1820 flat buttons, a neat old buckle of some kind, a 1917 Wheaty, A real nice cloak button and lots of other keepers. Thanks again Ernie. Hope we get together again soon.

hey some nice old buttons there George , should clean up well and get some good backmarks to give ya an idea as to how old they are . i'm very surprised you guys got no old coppers because it looks like a very productive field. thumbsup01

[angellionel]

With those types of nice old relics coming out of that field there should be some old coppers there. stretcher: It's great that you two got together. thumbsup01

It was great to meet you George and I too had a great time even though we did not score
big but for me at this time it was great therapy. I will work on the farm we discussed and let you know and also hope to meet and hunt with other forum members. The back of the button you let me dig lol reads J.Manns extra rich gilt. Can you date it from that Dan?

Hey Ernie, I think we did pretty darn good for a field. Some of them I have done, produced absolutely nothing good. This one had colonial and post colonial relics in it. I also get great therapy, every time I go out...that's what I love about detecting in the wide open sky....why pay a doctor for something nature can provide I also Googled J. Manns extra rich gilt and found this lol The guy named BuckleBoy responded to someone that found the same button (1805-1843). So Dan is off the hook

hey Ernie , i'm sorry to say that George is right about the age of the button lol lol but he didn't have to goggle it to find out . 8/ he could of found out easier by looking in the references in the sticky topic ye olde relic hunters resourse guide

Great hunt for the two of you!!

I really need to start spending some time relic hunting. Sometimes I get so focused on silver coins that I don't pay attention to what's happening on screen unless it's in the top right corner.

Congrats and thanks for posting!

Great hunt..!! I do love relic hunting as well, though I don't (or haven't) spent too much time on this year on research.. maybe some day someone will invite me on a hunt (wink wink, nudge nudge)
