A couple friends invited me to hunt with them on a permission they had. A couple good sized cornfields that yielded some large cents and buttons in the past.
I was running my Deus with the 9" coil since my 11 X 13 coil locked up yesterday. Not 5 minutes in, my 9" coil also locks up and does nothing. I have the 11" in the truck but did not want to lock it up also so I just left the remote in my truck and ran the 11" coil from the WS5 headphones. Turned out to be a winning combination! (will be calling the repair center tomorrow)
The very first target I dug was a 1942 Washington quarter. Always nice to see a silver reeded edge but was hoping for something of the seated variety. A good hour passed with nothing but an occasional headstamp or bullet. I decided to move to the field across the road and try my luck.
I hit a couple flat buttons right away and not longer after that I got a good high tone and out pops a 1844 Large cent! Not 10 minutes later and 5 foot from that hole I pop out a nice large copper which at first I though might be a KG but upon getting home and cleaning a bit I found it was a Draped Bust! I can barley see the 17 and not the last 2 numbers but still a keeper!
About an hour later and I am working my way back to my truck and ready to head home. I get a good high tone and dig a plug, I stick my pin pointer in the hole and it sounds off on a couple different targets. I clear 3 cut nail pats from the hole and still have a signal, I pop out a chunk of dirt and staring me in the face is a Seated half dime! Cleaned it up and find its a 1849!
A great day of hunting thanks to the generosity of a friend sharing his spot.
