I got out again tonight and headed back to the woods... my luck is steadily on the decline at this spot. I dug two pennies - a copper memorial and a 1928 wheat - plus a pump organ reed, a salt shaker top, a small piece of buckle, a few large grommets, and a rusty old foothold trap. I started missing the ease of turf hunting... tangling with undergrowth, fallen limbs, downed trees, and uneven terrain is one thing when you are digging some keepers, but not so much fun when you aren't. I'll likely give this spot a break for now and likely head back later in the season. I've hunted this spot 4 times now for a total of about 8 hours. It is some kind of miracle in my mind that I found a nice 1917 Merc in the first five minutes of the first hunt and no silver since. I wonder what the odds of that are?
Happy hunting!

but at least you're not dealing with ticks up there >:/. The stuff that you have been pulling (IMO) indicates some real potential. I have to admit that it is a real teaser when the first coin you pull is a silver especially a nice merc. 
! Great bunch of relics! The odds are. That you just happened to swing that coil, over just the right spot. That might have been the only one there. Woods are a little mind blowing sometimes. I make short jaunts, into the woods. Just long enough, before the limbs and brush start to get on my nerves. Good Luck!
