2 Days, 13 Coins, The Newest Was 1892

[bgscofield6]

I met up with Keith from www.coinhunting.net on Wednesday and found 10 coins and went back to the same place with him and Greg on Thursday and found 3 more coins.

This is the kind of place you love and hate. You love it because when you do get a signal it is usually a coin, and an old one at that. But you could easily go the entire day now without getting a signal there. I honestly doubt that I would go back unless they decided to plow the field.

It's a shame how stained these silver coins came out, but I would rather find stained silver than no silver at all!

I finished the 2 days there with the following:

4 No date Shield Nickels
3 Indian Heads (1884, 87, 92)
1866 Nickel 3-Cent with a hole in the top
3 Seated Dimes (1845, 76CC, 91)
2 Silver 3-Cents (1851, 54)

Stop complaining about the tarnished coins........... Your finds are some that I will probably never find in my home state of Washington. Very nice finds you have there and I would be back there in a heart beat if I were you even if the fields were plowed or not. Congratulations on your neat finds. HH.

Eddie... This spot is what you could call 'virtually hunted out' It has had several explorers go over it as well as several other detectors. It has given us 137 coins, all 1892 or older, and there isn't a signal left in the ground. It is literally just silence as you walk.

NHBOB... Yeah, it's my first CC coin and two more CCs were pulled from this field as well.

They always say that a place is never hunted out and maybe like you say, if they plow that field you could possibly find some more nice coins. Good luck and HH.

Great finds!! After all the hunt is 90% of the fun of this hobby I would Milk that spot like a Jersey Cow. Happy Hunting Grounds,

thats one heck of a day!! Ive never found a 3 center yet, its on my list)

If I was finding those types of coins and the signals were few and far between, I still would keep going back until I dug every signal out of that spot that was a good Conductive Item. Those are just unreal finds and it must have been a rush to dig them. It isn't every day that a person digs Seated, 3-Cent Pieces, and Shield Nickels. You should be very happy of the sites you have that produce coins like those. What I wouldn't give to find a site like that! Congrat's to those Awesome Finds and continued success and Good Luck and HH at that site!

Hunting with Keith will have that effect He's good people! I will agree with yea I'll take the silver no matter how much it's stained I have a 20 cent piece posted on Keiths site that has some bad staining but I'll never get rid of it for sure Once again congrats on your digs.

We have dug every conductive signal out of the ground there. We got to the point where we would try to 'create' signals out of iron and nails.

But I found another good coin today in another field that I will post later.

Great handful of oldies. You must have some nice spots to hit if you're thinking about not going back there until they plow it. I'd be spending the night there . WTG! What state are you in?

I live in Indiana. As for not going back... Well nobody else that has hunted really wants to go back either.
