hi everybody, and happy dad's day. i hit the woods this a.m. for close to three hours. the old mansion site just keeps calling me over there! i wanted to have a slow and leisurely hunt this time, and perhaps change the way i was detecting to see what i was missing. i went to all metal mode, slowed way down, and dug every signal. well, it worked and paid off too! the first find was the old large cent, i believe it's an 1827, it's hard to see. it was 11 inches in the ground. the nice enfield "smoothie" bullet followed. next came the shot and mushroomed .58 cal. 3 ringer, been finding a lot of those, then the percussion cap on top. another shot three ringer followed, then the wormed and pulled three ringer. the odd target looking piece i found next to the railroad tracks along with a flattened cent. another percussion cap came out the ground on the way back to the car, and so did the odd looking pulltab looking buckle. i swear it's not a pulltab! it's heavy too, it must be a small shoe or watchband buckle, and is crudely made. i'm happy with my finds for the day. i went to the store this a.m. before the hunt and picked up a bottle of the new off! skintastic insect repellent. it worked great, no odor,only 1 tick on my pants and NO bug bites! wow! that's a nice change, considering i've picked over 20 ticks off my clothes since friday! thanks for looking and reading, and hh,
