Got out today with fellow member Gerry F again, and it was a good hunt.
We hit an old spot that we've both hunted before over the years, before we knew one another, however, we both tried a new section of this place today. I noticed a tree line that looked quite enticing, and had a good feeling about. Within 30 minutes of turning on my detector, I already had a few wheats & a barber dime, so, we knew we were in a good spot.
I think I set some kind of personal record today, as about 80% of what I dug were wheats. A LOT! Either this place hasn't been hunted before, or, they didn't do a good job of it
My haul was...
27 wheats
1910 barber dime that looks like it went through a mower
1950 rosie
Sterling silver baby spoon
2 eyeball jewelry finds - the big ghetto earring & the fish looking thing. Both appear gold, but, I don't think they are. I'll test them in the future though
