Popular Post Chase Goldman Posted April 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2021 Went on a couple of hunts this past week trying to put my new Coiltek 10x5 Nox coil through its paces and then using my trusty Deus at my favorite relic farm site with numerous iron patches and high mineralization. Tested the Nox coil out on a Colonial site and scored a couple of keepers at decent depth in sandy soil including a flat Tombac button and a brass makeup case with a fancy "wreath" design. Snagged a tiny flat button there when switching over to the Deus and round 9" hf coil. in thick iron. A week later it was off to my relic paradise site we have been pounding regularly for a few years and steadily since November when I got the privilege to hit it after harvest and deep discing and snagged a $1 gold piece and about 30 other relics - perhaps my most productive single day ever. The site "refreshes" itself with every plowing. Anyway the finds were tailing off and this was the last trip before spring planting. Took the Deus out and got on the board quickly with a minie ball. Started pulling different types of minie balls including a .69 caliber "fatty", a confederate Gardner, and a really rare dropped .54 cal Merrill carbine, as well as some "generic" 3 ringers. But the highlight was an iffy high conductor signal - hoping for any silver at this point because they have been few and far between at this site, lately. Little did I know that I would be checking off a bucket lister that I have been hoping to snag for some time now. Flipped the plug and knew what I had with just a glimpse. Welcome to the finds pouch my freshly dug 1835 Capped Bust Liberty Dime. Some non-metallic eyeball finds and miscellaneous brass and lead fragments including a porcelain 4-hole button rounded out the day. Enjoy the pics... 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schoolofhardNox Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Nice. Bust coins don't come up very often. Gold coin too previously? You got a great spot there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raphis Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Fantastic finds, Chase!! ?? Beautiful silver you found...The bust coin is still on my bucket list, but I really haven’t hunted sites in my neck of the woods that give me a chance at finding one. Congrats on the relics also! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
