This and that from here and there

Went out early this morning and met up with Suzanne at the park. We were hoping our luck from the previous day would continue, but we were skunked bad! I did find a pretty cool hand forged iron hook thing, a brass part and two patent items. One a keyhole shaped doohickey dated 1881 and a Sampson Brass Plug with 1898 patent dates.

Then on our way out, I noticed a large section of brush had been cleared! Sweet! Started hitting the area and wheats were just on the surface. Picked up the 1944 Mercury dime and the more wheats and a 1954 dime laying right on top of a rock! Not long after, the 1941 wheat laying on top of a rock! Fighting the stubble was a bear though and it was definitely not easy hunting, but well worth it! Got a quarter signal, bent down to take a look and the butt end of an arrowhead was staring back at me... cool. The quarter was just clad though. Also found a silver plated religious medallion here as well.

Later I met up with Dave at a school we have hunted before. Pretty soon after starting he got a really cool find, and I had two wheats. Then I picked up a super nice 1917 Buffalo nickel, a few other modern nickels, a 1944-P War nickel and a 1949 nickel. The surprise target was a 1901 Indian head cent! Then another friend came who wanted to hunt some clad in the front of the school, so I went thataway and Dave headed out. Clad hunting went pretty well, I got a wheat cent and even found a Sacajawea dollar coin.

    I'm Nick A. and I am a metal detector hobbyist in Central Ohio.  I have been metal detecting since 1990, and currently use the Minelab E-Trac detector.

    I am always happy to find silver coins (made before 1964) for my collection, as these are no longer in common circulation.
