[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 588056, member: 13650"]Wow! So true. Congrats on this find. That sounds like a really neat old town to hunt around. I've got a detector too and my town was founded in 1828. One thing I've realized since I started is that the whole idea of detecting sounds more glamorous on a forum than it actually is. lol Of course, it's all worth it when you run across something like that!! In reality, it takes work and time to do it. You try not to miss any areas. Then sometimes you debate on whether it's worth it to dig a certain type of signal or not. So you dig the plug. Whoops, just missed it. Dig next to that hole. Just missed. Dig next to that hole. Then finally realize you're probably chasing junk. Fill back in and keep going. Then it comes down to available places to detect. I've got a lot of places picked out but who knows who owns them. I've found quite a few coins with it but no silver and nothing earlier than the 1960s. Last weekend I found a 1990 nickel about 6" deep! I don't know how stuff gets buried so fast. Detecting isn't for everybody. That's for sure.[/QUOTE]
