Sat hunt with Roger & Todd * 2 coppers & a barber quarter

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Todd & I decided to get together with Roger (Rebel)to a site I found near some sites Roger was familiar with.It was tucked outta the way and we felt we might do well herecame up to the site & it looked nice with plenty of room to swing.I went to put on my White's pro-star headphones & the cradle arm broke.duct tape repair job & we were off swinging. quickly we knew this site had been hit..but they left a few keepers for us.It was also guarded by killer bees again.
a underground yellow jackets nest and one got me in the elbow.
we hadda work for our finds but walking out I had 2 coppers, a V-nickel & some ornate buttons.
Roger wanted to get to a couple other sites he knew of so we made the trek.Rog sat on a yellow jackets nest taking a break on the walk to 1st site.both sites were pretty trashy with junk up to the 1940's scattered all about both sites.I managed a barber Qtr in front of one hole.at 2nd hole i see Roger jumping around near the barn hole with bees swarming.he got it again :rofl: not funny at the time but lookin back ya just gotta laugh.one site had red raspberry bushes everywhere and they were delicious!

It's always nice to find a site that will feed you while you are pulling relics and coppers and silvers Dave. Other than a minor skirmish with the local yellow jackets, sounds like a great hunt to me!.

George ii? Nice finds. Haven't encountered bees yet. I was eating the black raspberries near the end of maromas trip and they were both asking each other if they knew cpr. Lol. I knew what I was eating.

Nice job Dave. Man I hate those stingers. Once I was detecting away, looking at the ground and almost head-whacked a hornet's nest about 5 ft off the ground. I was 2 seconds from disaster! Anyway, great finds. By the way, do you use the Renwax on items other than coins? Buttons for example?

how come I miss all the really fun entertaining hunts with you guys :rofl: seriously I hope you guys are all ok from the insects . Congrats on the coppers and silver Dave .

Well Dave, we sure had a fun day considering the local residents. Glad Todd was the lucky one today.

When I got home a squished one was up my pants leg, so that's how it got me. I guess I've been pretty lucky for the past 5 years to not get zapped.

Nice finds! that LC really cleaned up nicely, seems I just couldn't get my coil over many good targets. Gonna play around with the Relic settings like you suggested.

We'll have to do it again but ONLY in the winter when the bees are sleeping :rofl:
