A friend invited us to a hunt at an old house. He is just getting started in detecting and he bought the Ace 250 I had for sale. This would be a one time shot since the property is going up for auction this Friday. He gave me the address and I looked it up on the old map and determined that there was an old house on it back in the mid 1800’s. We had to wait until he got off work at 5:30 and the long drive made it about 6:30 before we were able to hunt. First signal was a solid Indian signal and that is what it was a crusty 1883. Diane dug a wheat and then later a 1941 King George Canadian Cent. She also got a piece from a necklace or bracelet that is not marked but I am confident it is gold. Danny was busy digging up clad. My next signal was a 12-45 – 12-46 and it sounded sweet. Under a large tree I retrieved my target beneath a fair size root and I could tell it was silver, quite crusty but silver nevertheless. It was getting darker but I could see part of the reverse and I saw an Eagle…not the Barber Eagle but the Seated Eagle! Barely thru the crust I could see the 1853 peeking out! A first for me! Finished with a few more wheat’s then the dark and the mosquitoes decided it was time for us to go.
