Popular Post dogodog Posted January 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2021 Wow I can't believe I got out yesterday to dig. It seems like work and the stress of things in 2020 took a toll on my detecting experiences for quite a while. I wanted a new coil for the MK and saw a post Kac made about the Nel Superfly, So I said what the heck I'll give it a try. This coil is 6 grams lighter than my 9 inch. I must say this coil is amazing!!! great depth and way better separation. So I went to give it a spin on a site I hunt that has some modern and 18th century history to it. (ball fields and farm fields). I swung for about 5 hours in the 35 degree weather, and found a bunch of coins,(1941 penny, 46 nickle) shot shells, suspender clip, fishing reel, and a fragmented old bell. I wish the bell was whole, because it was about 2'' in dia. The reel perplexes me because of the lack of water in the middle of a 20 acre field. Overall I had a really nice trip out, I was starting to forget how detecting can clear your mind. PS Joe D can you please send some of the Florida warmth up here to PA. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Good finds for this time of the year in your area, and I wish you more luck on your next outing. The reel probably fell out of someones truck, or there used to be a pond located there at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Nice. Fishing reel is a #60 Hendrix. Probably had a nice gob of silk line and fit on a cane rod. Love the old reels, amazing craftsmanship that went into them unlike today which is all white metal die cast and cnc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe D. Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hey Dog, I'll catch some heat and humidity in a box of Mason jars, in our next 10 months of Summer! I'll bring them up with me for a hunt or two! 🤣 👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
