3 HOUR CELLAR HOLE HUNT*1820 MATRON HEAD

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Mike(forino)picked me up at 11 am we hit the old hole that i pulled 5 coppers in the video last time there.I was determined to pull some downed branches out out of the way.the work paid off when i got a nice quarter reading where one of the large limbs once sat a 1820 matron head large cent.was only like 10 feet away from the pocket spill i found last hunt there.we quit at 1:30 pm.hopefully we can get back there again soon.
have a great weekend all!

That's not a copper!! It's a washer without the hole drilled. But I guess it can count since I think that makes 100 coppers between us?? Yes, no? Nice quick hunt. When you gonna start ripping trees out of the ground to find the rest of the hidden coppers? lol

Good thinking on moving the limbs out of the way.I don't know but maybe you should bring a bobcat along with you on your hunts to help with the larger trees.Nice keeper and most likely not the last coin from that site.

That place looks great Dave. I love detecting as such sites - it's quiet and peaceful, unlike the parks. Cool finds, and that's a very nice copper too. thumbsup01

Nice find before the snow hits Dave.. You did very well with the Big Coppers this year. Last year was your excavation finds and this year were your Copper finds. I think the parks are frozen but I'm going to try under the tree's tomorrow. Could be the last hunt for awhile.. Good luck Bro..

thanks bruce! yeah wide open grass areas your gonna have a tough time.maybe an inch or 2 of frost.under pine trees you'll have a easy time.idk about around oaks or maples in the grassy areas?ya may have to find a wooded area in the park with trees.as long as there is leaf cover you'll be good.good luck if you go. thumbsup01
