Hey Folks. Guess where I went today?  Yep, back to grand dad's farm. I heard the oldies calling out to me.  Anyhow, I decided to change out my 4 X 6 DD to the 6 X 10 DD on my DFX. I also headed out into an open area away from the house. I got some old scrap iron and three harness rings today. I gave all the harness ring stuff to the owner. He likes them old plow harness rings.  I got a nice VDI for an Indian Head penny and cut a generous plug. Sure enough out popped a nice old Indian Head, 1879.  I let out a loud WOO HOO and did a Happy Dance to consummate the occasion.  The owner showed up shortly after I found the Indian and I showed him my finds. I offer him anything he wants but, let him know that I am mainly after the old coins. We headed into town to grab some grub and a few cervazas. While we were at the pub my "buddy" tells me that we are sitting next to one of the original two "pirates" that detected my grand dad's farm. I introduced myself and then promptly let him know that he didn't GET IT ALL!!! He was a nice guy and we all had a good laugh. After hearing of the stuff that he and his then older partner hauled off it sounds like I missed one heck of a great place to hunt. More than a few silver dollars and who knows what else. He was just a kid when he hunted it. He probably spent them Morgans on candy bars!  We headed out to another spot that had a home on it built in the 1840's. Really nice looking patch of ground with a few trees still dotting the area. I got one of the three old harness rings there, the cool old car button-about 8 inches deep, and a 1941 D Wheat penny. I got some other stuff but, too late to post it all tonight. Thanks for the encouragement. I know there's more good stuff around these spots. I am landing a few other places in the area to hunt too. This is getting quite interesting. I am having a blast tecting my old stomping grounds of the 60's. Thanks for viewing. Kevin  |

Congrats on the Injun .... Keep in mind that with DFX you are "huntin' in a different patch of dirt" then the guys who hunted the place years ago. You are most likely lookin' deeper than they were - so there's probably a few goodies waitin' for you too !!! Good luck and good hunting !!! |

If there's anything I hate worse than diggin' pulltabs, its missin' a gold ring.
