nugget108 1,654 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Hi all, The boys and a friend of mine headed out to do a night hunt last night. No gold AGAIN but we did find a sweet coin and relic spot I've been researching. Cameron my oldest found the first coin of the night and his first coin for some time now. It's a 1867 Shield Nickel in pretty good shape. Then I ended up finding the 1876 Seated Quarter and a Chinese coin. The quarter is in really good shape but the pics don't show it real well. We also found some awesome buttons. My little guy found the big button with the hog on it. He started laughing histericly when he seen what it was. Apparently 8 year olds find a pig on a button funny lol. Other than that, I found my first skeleton key and first intact pocket watch frame. It still opens too. And a realy cool gold gilded feather or leaf that i hit with my pick and broke. My buddy found a really cool mini hammer and what looks to be a mini flathead screwdriver. And several buttons. It was a long but fun night. Take care everyone. Dan Link to post Share on other sites

Morlock 1,613 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Congrats on the finds. Nice ones at that. I was finding all kinds of coins and relics when I was in that area years ago. Keep hunting. Maybe you'll find your first gold coin or perhaps even a small cache. Just never know.... Link to post Share on other sites
AZMark 128 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Which detector were you using? The Whites? Great treasure... Link to post Share on other sites
nugget108 1,654 Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 I was using my 5000 because we have relics and gold where we go. My oldest boy uses a Fisher F5 and my little guy uses a Bounty hunter Jr. Link to post Share on other sites
Swampstomper Al 1,336 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Nice finds, Dan & clan..! The F5 is a great machine.. Both N & I have one.. It's still my default park hunter for around here.. Swamp Link to post Share on other sites
nugget108 1,654 Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 My dad gave him the F5 summer before last and he is finally starting you use it this year. Hes getting it figured out pretty good. He wants a CTX3030 SO BAD. I told him thats a lot of lawns to mow over the summer haha.Thanks Swamp, I always enjoy your input.
