Got out with Dave on Sunday. We had plans to hit 3 to 4 sites so I picked him up bright and early.
We had a good feeling about our 1st site marked down. When we got there we saw lots of big iron piled on rocks which is no different than 95% of the holes we hunt. Immediately, I pulled a large sport mans button and then an ox knob...good signs! :cheesysmile: I pulled an indian, then Dave pulled two, then another Indian for me, then Dave again, another one for me which was an 1860 fatty with hole in the middle. Next I here Dave yell 2-center, then he yells another 2 center. I then yell out silver... Barber dime 1910 :twirlingeyes: Targets where hiding everywhere amongst all the iron that littered this site. Dave then pulls the first Large Cent out of the site and shortly after I scored an 1861 Nova Scotia Half Cent in beautiful condition and a Flying Eagle cent with no date.
For some reason Dave wanted to move on to the other sites we had mapped out :thinkingabout: In all we each found 7 coins here so I reluctantly agreed to move on. The next site was dead and produced only 3 buttons for me. The third site had nothing at all it was in a very weird spot on the slope of a hill side :dontknow:
Finally we made it to a site that really sparked our interest while researching it. It was at the top of a high mountain. When we got there we found some very strange yet interesting rock formations. However, we could not find and cellar hole. We decided to randomly swing around the area and as I was going along a very steep slope on the south side of the mountain I noticed a break in the wall that lead to a circular rock formation. It looked like a path that lead to it down the side of the mountain. First signal was a flat button, then I got a high VDI signal that I thought could be a coin and to my surprise, it was my third George Washington Button for the year and a rare type to boot. It was very mangled but still readable. A few feet from that I got another button and then a nice colonial shoe buckle frame. :happydance01: We had to leave at this point as it was going to be dark soon.
