First Hunt of 2016

61chip · Jan 3, 2016

MoBob and I got out 1/1 for our first hunt of the year. Went back to the huge field we recently got permission for and managed a few meager finds. We both found some camp lead, rivets, harmonica reeds, and 2 IH each. Bob hasn't pulled dates off his yet. Mine were post war -- 1889 & 1892. Bob also found a cool little cow bell and I got a suspender clip with an elephant on it. Nothing great but we had fun, even digging tthrough the snow and mud

Getting out is all that matters

Nice coins. I like the suspender buckle too. I hate it when I dig a coin while I'm relic hunting and its post war. I have dug about 6 that were only a few years after civil war.

Nice hunt.

If we found block buster finds all the time-- we would be bored, and hence stay home or quit the hobby.

Congrats

Time with friends when spent--- can"t buy that no matter how rich!!!

Glad you guys got out. Looks like you may be narrowing it down. If memory serves me right that was a HUGE field you showed in a previous photo. Nice finds and a good start to the year.

Yeah, I agree about the post war coins -- but I make an exception for IH's. They are some of my favorite coins to dig

Thanks, man. Nothing I can really pin down to CW, but some could be. The area we are hunting is a known bushwacker hangout -- they used anything they could get there hands on

I don't know buddy, it would take me years to get bored finding CW relics every hunt! But I do get what you mean -- since we don't, it makes he good finds even better. Just like hunting with friends

Thanks, Seven. It was good to get out again. This area should hold more goods. It is a large tract of land and we've barely touched it so far. We don't know of any certain camps, but the area is right for the times

We're gonna keep working it! Don't know about any specific camps there but the area is a known bushwacker hangout. Its kinda like searching for a needle in a haystack. If we find a honeyhole, we will back off till you get up here to hit it with us

Nice Finds! Keep it coming!

Nice job, Chip. I was also digging in the mud my last time out.
