Went out this afternoon and did the grass I was so enamored about for an hour and then decided to hit the woods! Went back to an area where I've found buttons and LC's and a Canadian half penny. Rummaged around in the thickets for most of the time and popped out a flat button. Then, about ten feet away got a real good tight signal about 5 feet from a large rotted out tree stump. At about 7 inches out comes the LC. I think it's a Matron Head although the date is not visible. I say this because of the way the hair is on the forehead and how it's draped below the neck. So I think it can't be older than 1839. It was a gorgeous day to be out detecting and I was out about 5 hours total. After working all week remodeling my buddies father-in-laws house, I barely made it back to the truck! Whoo Whee, was I tired! Also today I tried a new type of kneepad/shin guard which are made for motocross. I got so tired of pulling up my kneepads all the time I decided to try this approach. They work great! Light and comfortable to wear.
Well that's about it. Going to try again tomorrow but maybe only for 3 hours or so.
Have fun out there guys and girls and HAPPY HUNTING!
