Recent hunt with ILdigger

[Fire Fighter 43]

I invited Tim aka Ill digger up for a hunt this past week. We started out at an old school site that turned out to be a flop with mostly fill dirt covering the original ground. We moved on to site #2 which was the church site I recently got permission to hunt. Within 5 minutes I had my first good find a 1918 Buffalo. I manage to find another Buffalo 1913, 12 wheats, a 1901 Indian and no silver for me. I know how much Tim loves going to my famous picnic grove so we packed up and ate lunch in route to the grove. I decided to try the CTX 6 inch coil in some of the more trashy areas and wheats started popping. I found 13 more wheats for the day and with only 30 minutes left to hunt I finally hit silver a 1906 Barber dime. It was only 3 inches down amongst the trash. I will not go into what Tim found but I will say he kicked my butt with the Etrac. He managed to get himself a first and a few more nice finds. We had beutiful weather and it was a fantastic day of hunting with great friend.

Great hunt and finding silver in trash is always impressive! Nice Barber dime.

Great finds, Jeff! It sounds like you and Tim had a great day of detecting! That old picnic grove sure has produced a lot of great finds over the years. It must be nice to have a "go to" site like that!

:congrats:

The 6" coil goes pretty deep in the right soil. I use mine a lot, especially at cellar holes. Nice group of coins!
