Thread: Got out for a while today

  1. #1

    Got out for a while today

    We got a pretty bit of snow last night and was hoping I did not have to work. When I got up snow was everywhere . Roads were iced over schools were closed. I stirred around a bit nothing on TV to watch bored mainly. I told the wife I am going tecting she said what your crazy lol. So I showed her I was and went anyways lol .I went back to the same spot where I found the three ringer. Took my 4x6 d.d. coil with me this time because of all the metal in the area. I found some old pieces of iron looks like a ring of some kind. Dug three aluminum cans and thought I was going to have a bad day >:\. I got a good solid hit around the base of this oak tree and pulled out a nickel 1942. Dug near the edge of the field and got another strong signal and dug up a 1953 quarter. Went a few feet away got another signal and dug a bullet that had been fired. Dont think it is a civil war era bullet. I stayed about three hours and stomach started growling so I headed back home for some homemade soup. H.H.

    I really enjoyed your post and the pictures set the mood for your hunt.

    Definitely looked cold, but you dug some keepers for sure.

    Congrats on the silver.
