Coinnut and i hit a couple of sites today ( first site's picture was taken today the second i had on file from earlier this year,thats why you see leaves still on the trees), not only were we looking out for deer hunters but the wind was so strong you had to watchout for falling tree branches( and some were pretty big to :shocked04:).i had the lucky coil today and found a very nice complete colonial shoe buckle ( it still has its brass pin so the chape and tongue move freely :cheesysmile:) it gave off a great tone and was surprisingly shallow ( about 2 1/2 inches deep) i thought for sure it was going to be a beer can :rolleyes: a little later had another great tone at about 5 inches (love those solid 84 vdi's at that depth :smitten: and out popped up was the 1819 large cent copper ( looks like someone was carving on the back of this one :mad:) and a few buttons round out the day. :grin: :grin: hey thanks for looking and hurry up and get out there people. Dan

Very good hunt Dan. I like that large cent. :grin: I know what you mean about those high, solid VDI numbers, especially when hitting on them while out in the woods. Good stuff!
 
nice job dan!a great day and yeah i almost got bonked by a falling branch too.colonial home and cellar hole.no large coppers for me but found this weird chain and was wondering if you can tell me what it was used for?definitly wasn't made for strength thats for sure.i was hoping maybe some kind of sword chain but,i doubt it.
gonna upload photos now

Great finds Dan, I love the stuff you dig up at those sites! That coin is terrific and the buckle too! Weird that someone carved up the coin :confused:
 
Yikes!! What did you do to that copper lol When I left it was perfect :confused: Nice day's hunt there Dan!!! ;) You got a copper and I got the ox knob :twirlingeyes: :grin: Bits and pieces for me today. But I did get a cow bell just incase I need one :rolleyes: Plus that E Trac sure can get the little stuff. Got an eyelet just incase I need one too lol But the weather held out and it was great to get out, even though my arm kills :crying02:

yeah unfortunetly the part we saw that flaked off was the best part ( the date) the rest of the coin is pretty worn but its a copper and i'll gladly take it . an oxknob :huh: see Krom this is why i keep him around he's an oxknob magnet as of late , my hero :tongue: lol lol
 
Come on Del, That's why I spent $1500.00 on a machine, so I could get all the ox knobs lol They're kinda cute after a while :-\
 
only george would find a polish cowbell :confused: how the heck's the clacker bang the inside of that bell? :confused: :confused: hey i'm polish so i'm not being racist here :tongue: nice day out you guys! thumbsup01
 
How 'bout that old buckle, ey? Sweet lookin' thing... I wanna find one...
I also wanna find an ox knob.
Nice job with the diggin's!
