    Cubs and copper's hunt

    Hi guys,Just got done with vacation.. And I what did I do of course I went metal detecting " cubs and copper's hunt"
    I started at a Boy Scout camp and mid Ohio was about 8 of my friends in the area and a few from Kentucky as well... The first camp had a lot of history old.. We stayed Friday Saturday and left early Sunday.. Silver wasn't flying out of the ground but there was quite a bit found I and the two silver dimes a Mercury and Rosie..(but some the other guys did better than I did) The oldest coin found with a seated dime I also know there was a half found some silver quarters,standing liberties and a lot of cool Boy Scout paraphernalia...




    On Monday me and my friend Kevin went on a field not far from where I live in Ohio.. pulled in to large cents and an Indian head...
    On Tuesday we went out in the rain and hunted some fields in Ashland Ohio.. And I pulled 1913 British penny and a1871 Indian head..

    we got rained out from the rest of the week


    On Friday we started to hunt Boy Scout camp in Kentucky it was a fun hunt lots silver was found by I think everyone.. It was a weekend hunt but I headed back to Ohio on saturday night.. But not before I got my share of silver..

    Thanks for looking guys...
