Denny Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Hunted Paul’s neck of the woods for 5 hours in search of that gold or bust coin. No luck only dug up the usual targets you find at old settlements.The last time I dug up old coins here was back in 2005 when I dug up a 1816 2 reale which is rare to find here in this part of California (Central Valley) and a 1850 French coin with the explorer Xs. Both coins now at the county museum with Paul’s finds. The ground here is fertilized dirt 700-800gb and the MDT handled it well. The iron isn’t as bad as the dry river dump site where I get overload message on the MDT over large iron. It was great to get out to do some hunting, beautiful weather and weeds were not a problem. Better luck next time. Denny 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackpine Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Denny Sorry I missed your post. Generally I hit the unread content button but your post must have been buried quickly by other forum threads. I have always told Paul that someday I will go west for a hunt. The territory you guys hunt is just awesome looking to a Michigander like me. Your hills are a lot bigger than ours though.? Congrats on getting out for a hunt. As to the finds, it shows you know were in a good area and there's always next time. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 The buttons look fairly old. Finding fresh air isn't bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. MI Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Nice hunt. In northern Michigan still waiting for it to get a little warmer. I like the square nails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
