Since this IS a detecting forum.......

[Tony (NC)]

...and no one is posting any finds, I thought maybe I would start the ball rolling. Here are some of the finds we made in a Yankee camp in Falmouth, VA in the last few weeks. Sorry this is a repeat if you visit the C$ forum.

My Dad pulled this 14K ring out of a 100 acre field....now you know why they call him the ring vacuum.

This big coat button was a nice suprise. Let's hear it for the Artillery!

And finally....this is most of the keepers. We put a display with some bullets and camp stuff together for the land owner.

We have not made a dent in this place yet. They will be moving more dirt very soon.

My finds were made on private property with written permission. They were made with a Coin$trike and I don't know who invented it. I don't know how it works, but I somehow figure out how to make it work. So how 'bout it....is there anyone HUNTING any more?

Part of these finds came from a White's XLT but I am also the proud owner of a Fisher ID Excel and a 1280. (Currently at the home of Tony(NC) my Son and I will soon be the proud owner of the new F-75. What is all of the fuss about. Research, BUY and use. Each one has it's own strengths and faults.

Sometimes I win sometimes I don't

Hunting an old park. I knew that most of the ground had been moved around so I focused on the edges where it might have not been too disturbed. After several hours I moved on to another spot that had given up a '36 wheat a few weeks back. Nothing old this time.

Wife went with me this time. She likes to swing the Golden and use a scoop in the sand because she can't get up and down very easily. She beat me in clad then had me drop her off so she could shop before I went on to the second site.

That was two Monday's in a row I went bust on the silver. I guess I'd better do a clad hunt this coming week to recharge the batteries.

oh well, still fun to get out

in weeks. Yard cleanup or detecting? I chose wrong and did the yard work. Still time to get out and the cornfields haven't been cut yet anyway.

My best jewelry find of the year and it was also my best day ever wading.

"It was still fun to get out." Don't measure your success only by what you find or don't find! I'd call that a successful outing just because you had a good time out.

I'm not about to get back in the water this year. Oh I guess I could try to get in that wet suit, but that's not a pretty picture!

Only problem with waders is I have to remember to cut back on the morning coffee before going out. Being 50 yards from shore when the urge comes is not fun. Kinda like stopping at the wrong place for breakfast before going on a relic hunt

Hi Tony! Looks like you had a great day out on the field; love that spread of mini balls and the other relic oriented finds. There's some real history there.

I got out last Saturday with my new 1270 and found two nice Canadian large one cent pieces dated 1915 and 1918 in an old schoolyard/community center. It's been heavily hunted over the years but there's proof no one can dig it all.

Best Regards and Happy Hunting.
