Went out with my DFXer friend and another friend (minlabber) today for a marathon hunt. I really didn't want to go back to this park, however it was the concensus so I obliged. One of these guys has no issue being asked to leave. I , however, never like to hunt unless I am certain it's cool. He was ready to go to an abandoned farr he was already asked to leave but that wasn't working for me. I guess he figures if he can pull a few out, it's worth it. He's from Brooklyn and, perhaps you know how these guys are?
Got there at ~ 9am and hunted for ~ 3 hours ; I only managed to find a few wheats. A bit later, I was hunting in the trash with IM 22 and heard something..up came the 64 rosie, just made it silver. By then our friend was coming towards; hadn't seen him for hours. He had several silvers and 2 coppers (a king george and a jersey). He took us to the spot, however we found no more.
Several more hours and I was really not feeling it, I wanted to relocate hours ago. I manned up and said lets keep going. Maybe about 5 pm I got a deep signal. Up came some silver with the identity hidden by the dirt. I figured at this depth it had to be serious .....well needless to say, it was the other rosie. Again I meandered and found some clad, this pretty cool pendant and then at 6:15, the copper . Wow was I lucky to dig this. It came up as a dime at 4" and I could hear it wasn't silver. I decided to dig it, but I did not expect a copper, that's for sure. I am told it's a british coin and I am certain someone will chime in here on it. Older head type, 1740-1760.
My shovel (small handled one) has been broken and I could barely dig the serious plugs I am used to at this site today. I forgot my rechargable battery so had to get AA's, signals were few and far between, however, after 9 hours, they accumulated. Just a tough day for me. We left at 6:30 PM.
It is a pretty cool site but its been hit hard by my bud who showed it to me and us. (another guy showed up today but he was real new, swinging way too fast.) My bud said he dug 2 spanish silvers there, one from 1626 and 8 LC's in the same day....you know how these virgin sites can be,
My arm hurts and I'm tired but it was still a fun day with the guys!
