I have been busy lately and have not had alot of time to post. Been detecting with metalmaniac-ny lately at our permission spot and watching him dig some of those coins is crazy! I went back to the same field and found an area that was not frozen. Otherwise you would have to dig through about 3 - 4 inches of frozen tundra to get to anything diggable.
Managed a few things yesterday before the storm. Got a high signal and 8 inches deep i can see the silver edge of a coin.....1912 barber dime!!! First silver of the year. Was hoping a little older but i will take it. Found a few colonial buttons, both being in the 1700's. One is a tombac but without the shank and the other is pewter with a flower design and a large shank.
Also got what i think is a musket ball?? It looks to be cut in half and feel heavy like lead and comes up on the detector as lead. Not totally sure if it is but its in an area that finding musket balls is possible.
With very little snow from this blizzard im hoping to get out again this coming week since temps will crack freezing a few times.
Good luck everyone and happy hunting!!
