Popular Post F350Platinum Posted January 18 Popular Post Share Posted January 18 Finally got a chance to do some detecting today, it snowed on 6 Jan, and the snow didn't really melt, nor was it warm enough to get out there until today. I went to a permission I've had pretty good luck at, it's obviously been detected but not very well. I've got everything from large cents to Spanish silver to buttons here, and it was sort of turbo tilled before the snow, so I knew it would be pretty flat. Today I searched the most difficult part, a place where a barn once stood, there is a lot of iron in the ground, big pieces, some roof steel, and plenty of nails. The worst part of winter hunting is the mud in these fields, after time your boots can weigh 5 pounds or more, you have to keep scraping the mud off. I dug a ton of trash, most annoying were little lead caps with a hole on one side. They were concentrated in one area for the most part. Did pretty good, got silver: 2 old buttons, an overall button with a patent date, a bit of a spoon handle. The coins are a 1905 Barber dime, a completely unidentifiable coin that is thin and the same size as a penny, and a 1910 wheat. Here's a sidelight of the coin in the center 🤷: If ya see anything there let me know 🤣 🍀 15 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27509-muddy-boots-2nd-hunt-of-2025/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
1491 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Is that the obverse or reverse of the mystery coin? 😆 Seriously though, good job pulling more targets from that spot! That Barber could have just as well been another Spanish silver! 2 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27509-muddy-boots-2nd-hunt-of-2025/#findComment-288886 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geologyhound Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Sort of looks like a wreath, but I cannot make it look like an IHP or a flying eagle. Could it be an English farthing? 3 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27509-muddy-boots-2nd-hunt-of-2025/#findComment-288918 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Barber could have just as well been another Spanish silver! Thanks 1491, It took a lot of searching to find what I did, and the mud was pretty nasty. I started finding "the good stuff" just before it was time to leave. 🫤 Still, albeit cold, it was a good day. 🙂 3 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27509-muddy-boots-2nd-hunt-of-2025/#findComment-288974 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure was good to get out! 👍 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27509-muddy-boots-2nd-hunt-of-2025/#findComment-288975 Share on other sites More sharing options...
