Racer & Racer 2 snags a few goodies.

Brian,

If you have some site ideas, please share them.

Sorry you couldn't make this Outing we're enjoying right now. It's Friday morning, the 2nd or of 4-day WTHO here in Eastern Oregon. We have a very good turn-out of participants from Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington, and two of the three old coins found on our first day were made by Makro Racer 2 users.. Gregg Z. [size=small](aka Oregon Gregg)[/size] found an 1897 Indian Head 1¢, and Roger P. was working his Racer 2 when he found his oldest US coin, an 1863 Seated Liberty 10¢. That was near where Darby H., using a Fisher F75, had just recovered his oldest US coin to date, and 1836 Capped Bust 10¢.

Yes, many of the sites that have old coin potential have been hunted quite a bit and are getting 'thinned out' but we should never give up. The IH 1¢ came from the town I call 'Lonesome Arch.' and the two silver 10¢ coins came from the one I call 'Lone Tree.' The same towns where I pulled an 1953 large 1¢ just about 2 months ago.

I am always open to any suggestions to try and work up another Welcome-to-Hunt Outing, either for next years Putting agenda, or possibly even try to fit one in this year for early September.

We hope to see you on one of the nest WTHO's, and best of success in the meantime.

Was a fun outing these last few days over here in Eastern Oregon. Some nice coins and artifacts were found. I didn't manage to snag any silver on this trip, instead just opting to stay low key with an 1897 IH, 1925 Buffalo and 1906 V . The last day we hunted a local park and got a 1944 Wheatie.

We originally had three sites on the list but one became overgrown with weeds and only hunted the two. The two sites were only approx 2 miles apart ( Lone Tree started first and was the oldest and years later moved to what became Lone Arch ) so you could hunt one awhile pop over to the other and see what was happing etc.

All my finds came from Lone Arch as Lone Tree was not being good to me. The one pic is a shot of Lone Tree ( Lol the tree didn't make it in the pic)

I was using the Red Racer & Racer 2.
