    Finds From the Last 2 Hunts

    Haven't posted my finds in quite some time and Neil's recent "rant" gave me the motivation to start up again.

    First we have my notable finds from last Thursdays hunt. Got out with L4S and boy was it wet, rainy, and cold. Didn't get quite as geared up as Kermit did the other day, but managed to stay comfortable throughout the hunt. The 1884 IH came first. Followed by the Merc and George in the same hole. Got a few wheats as well.

    Second image is from Monday's hunt. Again, wet, rainy, but not as cold. This rain hunting isn't that bad if you don't mind getting muddy. The only notable finds for this hunt all came right off the bat and then nothing the rest of the hunt except for a few wheats and the usual clad. I manage to snag the Merc before L4S keeping him from getting his grand slam. Serves him right for not leaving the Seated for me to find. Yarrrrr!

    That's a great couple of hunts. What's with the mangled dime? Need some pro-active?

    Great digs Dan! Are those pictures taken with your Zi8? I was wondering how the macro mode for stills is?

    Nice group of finds!
    I think that dime is the very rare Winnie the Poo Liberty dime.

    Re: Finds From the Last 2 Hunts

    Thanks for the comments everyone. The beat up Roosie looks like it got HOT. Slightly melted and with no date visible. The back is pretty worn as well.

    @Brett. Ya, the pics are with the Zi8. The only light I had was coming from a small ceiling light and my computer monitor so I had to play with the angle as well as the zoom to get a decent focus. With more light it does takes some nice pictures.
