A Great Hunt Today With A Guest

[F350Platinum]

The corn isn't getting any lower at my new permission, invited Chase down for a hunt. He has a long drive to get here so I got there about 2 hours before him. Today I brought both the Equinox and the Deus, but the Deus stayed in the truck.

Crossing the field I dug a button that matches one Chase dug in another spot far away, and a newer memorial.

I went behind the house (which was the front in the 40s and earlier) and started searching where I left off a couple days ago. It rained since then, almost 2". Today was going to be muggy and hot, and it sure didn't disappoint.

This is where the old road goes the other way from my last post.

That's Chase way out there. I thought he would be able to find some stuff if he went up the road, I hadn't searched there and was just going back and forth behind the house. My bad, there wasn't much out there. Meantime I dug a few more coins, the trash was plentiful.

All the usual suspects, you pretty much should dig any good signal in this farm if you want the wide variety of possibilities. Having found large cents here, and the age of the farm (Victorian era) there should be some silver coins here!

Among the trash was this curious locking buckle:

It locks. Also dug what I think may be an old can opener that was broken off something:

I later pointed Chase to a large iron patch I found, he had his Deus 2. I was getting a headache from all the iron (I always run in all metal), so I went back to to where I was digging the coins.

Here are the finds, we also searched a spot where a house was but it's now long gone.

Big brass D buckle, an adjusting wheel of some sort, a waffle stamped piece of copper (no idea🤔), a fancy nickel plated rein guide, a really nice wave pattern button like one Chase dug previously, it says "TREBLE LONDON" on the back:

a small brass legging button with thread still in it, a small aluminum button.

Coins are an 1888 and 1889 IHP, 1940 something wheat, 1976 memorial and a 1997 dime.

My favorite find of the day was this 1903 Barber Quarter! It's a little beat up but looks ok otherwise. I finally got one. 😀 All I need to find now is an SLQ. Maybe I'll find one here, this place has never been hunted. Chase did pretty good too, especially in the iron patch.

it's always fun to have someone along on these hunts, I tend to annoy myself after a while🤪

Thanks, I've been whining about not finding one. 😀 Now I'll whine about Standing Liberty.

That's what we both said... 🤔

I will have to remember that trick, send your hunting partner on a wild goose chase.

Great finds and congrats on the quarter, it looks nice along with the other finds.

Forgot to tell you that the NOX is working for you. She thought you might like a quarter since you were nice to her.

Thanks!

For the same reason? 😀 The Equinox was too noisy in the iron patch, would have found the same stuff and may have had better luck in the iron with the Deus. I want to keep using both. Next time I go I'll hit that iron patch.

Congrats on all the neat finds and especially that barber quarter!   I’ve been on a silver drought as of late, glad to see others finding some silver!
