Cellar Hole Makes a Comeback!

Large Cent Site Makes a Comeback!

Well Ive been away from hunting, getting therapy on my neck; I figured out a way with a different detector to detach the housing, put that in a small camera bag, with strap around my neck. Purchased on line a pair of prism glasses. These let you walk and look straight ahead while seeing your feet, or waist. Really I can see my machine, change modes, pinpoint without bending my neck And the shaft and coil are almost weightless now. I only use on fairly level terrains. The prolonged neck flexion is what caused the problem, so do take breaks and stretch. I will refer you to photo if you email.
Am using a different machine now, but thought you would want to hear further the exploits at that site, which I am hunting with permission and on private land. Half the coins pictured I got with the Garrett.I had been there several times with no luck.
Yesterday, went back to the approximate same spot I got the large cents (See my early June entries) and got another one. Then I went to the area of the Civil War token (see my second June entry), and got a different one, It has like a small Liberty head on one side, with 13 stars around the top, and on the other, in a wreath, ONE CENT, but in small print above that it says NOT. It is date 1863. I thought darn, play money. It is no toy though. It is called according to my research, a "not one cent" coin. It was issued during the civil war as a protest statement about the country

As I said the early (Top row, and the button, and the unpictured token.) ones I got with an Ace 250. They where 2-6 inches deep. The rest and more recent ones I got with a machine of a different manufacturer.

That is a great collection of coins and tokens. I actually got two Civil War tokens at the bank once. One was patriotic and one was desined to look like an IH cent. I sold them on Ebay and got 50 bucks. Not bad for a 2 cent investment. If I ever pull one out of the ground, I'll do a happy dance for sure. Great finds. What detector are you using now?

Chris, if thats the line from George Harrisons tune, It All Too Much, that is one my favorite Beatles tune of all time. It is a great mantra tune when I am walking and jogging for my health.

I love that song too and my sig is an homage to. There's a great moment with the boys at the end of Yellow Submarine as that song ends. Check out George's new CD which is a great collection of some of his best stuff after the Beatles including some live versions of a few Beatles tunes. I also think his last album, Brainwashed, is the second best post Beatles album by any of them. Band on the Run would be first. That would have made a great Beatles album. The world was better off with George around.

Cheers, for being the first to call attention to it.

Chris


PS You should be metal detecting for your health!

The Ace 250 is a great machine, and I am using that along with a Fisher F4, (a slight step up $ wise). I like the Ace in parks, it easy to toss in and out the trunk and fire up and go!.

WTG on the finds. I love my ACE 250 also.
