Hey folks, I haven't posted in a while. Weather has been less than good for the most part. The ground is starting to thaw again, so yesterday I went with my buddy to one of our old honey holes. We are in the process of finding new sites. We may potentially have a good one lined up soon. So with new permissions pending, we headed to a spot that even though isn't giving up like it used to, it is still fun to dig here, because just about every signal is a drop from the 1930's or 1920's era. This section of woods was only used for about 10 years during that time. From about 1925 to about the mid 1930's, this place was used. And what is so cool for me to hear about this place is, before we started detecting this woods, it may have been a virgin area. It certainly produced that way, a few years ago when we first started detecting there. It gave up lots of Mercs, Barber dimes, sharp SLQs, Barber quarters, one Barber Half, Lots of Buffalo Nickels, V Nickels, early wheats, and a few IH pennies. This site was a big producer, and to this day, it is one of my more favorite sites I have ever found. Mainly because when you enter this woods, it is like turning back time to the 1930s. Back then it wasn't really a woods, now a woods has grown over it, and that is one of the things that may have kept it hidden from most over the years. Even though we may have pounded it to where there are almost no repeatable signals left, I am super proud to this day of finding this site. You don't find many places like this anymore in this day in age. Anyway enough of me reminiscing. It is a pounded site now. We spent a few hours in this woods, my buddy picked up some nice time period relics, and I picked up three wheat pennies, two 1919 wheats, and a 1928 wheat. A nice readable date 1918 Buffalo, two 1926 Mercs, and a 1909 D Barber quarter, that was in the hole with a rusty iron bolt. The bolt may have been why this signal was missed. It was tough to read, even on the E-trac I only hit it from one angle I believe. I included a picture of the bolt next to it. There are a couple areas in this woods that are concentrated with iron. I also found one of the Mercs in an area like that. There may not be anymore coins in this woods, but like you seen right here, you never know. Until next time, thanks for looking and HH Everyone!
