Brush busting produces new finds on old hunted out spots

[msareborn]

In a a small town like CDA, Idaho, it gets a little frustrating finding new spots to produce good finds. It seems like we go to the same old hunted out spots and once in a while we find something everybody missed. My best success I have is going where no man has gone before. So this time I'm like an elk hunter crawling through the brush, because it's at it's best stage of cover, being spring. And you can see through it easiest. Poking my detector into spots. It's really hard, but the brush wasn't always that thick. A hundred years ago, it may have been a path people used. Of course no one else looks there. So there's all kinds of goodies in there. Trash pits, coin spills, you name it. So this short dig started with the 1900 Indian head penny, then the cool tobacco can, and then the arcade token, and finished with a few wheats. All good finds in my book. Hope this gives you some ideas..go get you some!

Great post!! I too am in the infamous "hunted out" park mode,, bound and determined to score some bounty others have missed or passed due to poor signals.

A good day indeed. I love finding those old Indians. Had the pleasure like you of finding a 1898 where no detectors had been before back a couple of months ago. It's hard to find places around SC because most of the land in privately owned. Some owners look at you like you have lost your mind. Others blow you off with "ya sounds like a good idea, we should do that some time". City of Charleston has an ordinance for what it's worth of no park hunting because of the historic nature of Charleston. State Parks are off limits without permission, same reasoning.

Keep posting, always enjoy reading them.

Great finds and thanks for posting & sharing them with us. I am always looking for places that has not been detected before but places like that are hard to find.

Great finds. I'm amazed at how much a place can change in just 20 years when it's not kept up. 100 years and the evidence of man's presence is all but wiped out.
