Popular Post F350Platinum Posted November 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2022 Today was supposed to be nice, started out at 53 and foggy. I went to a field not far from my house where I got a lot of nice relics and a half of a half reale back in the spring. This field was cleared and turbo tilled in two directions, wow! Really easy to detect. The other nice thing is it doesn't have a lot of modern trash, just iron bits. This is all the trash I got today, fits in my hand. Just some buck balls, percussion caps and odd junk. Hunted for 6 hours, ended up with 6 buttons and some other surprises. Two have visible gold plating, one is silverwash. 3 medium and 3 small. As I was detecting back to my truck, I got this nice 1903 IHP: One of the biggest surprises (well the biggest) was a large cent. Can't quite make out the date but it is there, and can't really determine which bust it is. I was once able to see the wreath on the back and "ONE". it's pretty worn. I also got a couple relics, a thimble and a whatzit. A couple days ago I did a scouting hunt and got these: My favorite is the small decorated concave button. Saved the best for last, got a solid 77 and dug this, I knew there was more Spanish silver here: 1/4 of a 1 or 2 Reale coin. Worn thin, but still heavy. Only got through half this field, I'm sure there is more. 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having a bit of trouble identifying the reale and the large cent with certainty. Heck I would have been happy with the buttons. ? If the large cent is an 1821, it's a key date. ? Today I was just using the general program, kinda beefed up by lowering reactivity to 0, increasing sensitivity and going low and slow. I verified iron with a program I had for a trip to Culpeper built on Relic, but Relic uses so much battery I ran the other until I had a serious inquiry. Nothing was all that deep, max 8", but mostly 4-6. There is so little trash in this field except by the road, it's a joy to detect there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCR Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Once again those are some great finds and a beautiful scene to hunt. Consider that the ground now, just after being cultivated, is fluffy. That means you depth will be hindered due to all the air space. After a few good rains to settle the ground, you will be able to hit some deeper targets. Thanks for all your enjoyable posts. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to get the 13x11 coil, but right now its not available anywhere. Always the story. I got the 11 yesterday, after I got home ? it's nice they ship a lower shaft with the coil, they're expensive. I'm on the list for a SteveG CF rig which should be tough enough for the larger one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
