A big thanks to RobW for the invite to poke around his neck of the woods yesterday! Original plan was to hit some fields, but his buddy Tim had some research on the stove so a hunt for holes got included as well. Lots of laughs with those two, and plenty of new experiences for the noob.
Got started at 8AM on a 1700's farm house and fields Rob has permission for. Dealt with a little rain for little results. I got some clad, a Ferrari F40 Matchbox car, and not much else. The fields were coming in for hay, so we were limited. Took off after a couple hours in favor of Tim's research since it was slim pickings for all.
Put on a couple miles in the woods to find the road that led to Tim's target area. We wound up finding a few, but didn't have enough info between us and the area to figure out which one to follow. More research needed, so we hiked to some nearby fields, did some swinging, then hiked a bit more to the other end of the field where we were parked for a quick snack break. After the break hit the field where we parked, and after many hours and miles through the woods, joined the 1800's Club 100ft from the car! My first Indian, and all crusted up. It looked so cool.
The 2'nd coin I've tried cleaning. Wash in soapy water, and tried the peroxide soak for an hour or so for now to get most of the crust off. I forgot if it's harmful to the copper at all if I leave it in a long time.
Thanks for reading my ramblings all!

It was so bad he was asking if we were hazing him...lol
:hystericallaugh:You don't show the honey hole right away. Didn't Rob and you comment on such last week? The one that I was shown where the location, I gotsta wait until the field is harvested and until I get the invite to go down to hunt. However I will say, a park is where I got maybe my best finds. I believe the hunt where I got the earing and merc and bunch of wheats someone had mentioned it was my best yet.
