    Unexpect LARGE surface find!!!

    3/17/11 Metal detecting with DDub and we went out to a new section of woods that we have never detected before and I started the hunt off with an old coin spill!!! Wound up getting 6 old coins and an old token.

    Phantasmic finds, Kermit!!!

    I'm glad you got some of the goods!

    What's with all these shallow lurkers? Surface large cents, surface barber halves...

    I'm thinking about breaking out the Bounty Hunter and using a garden rake to dig!

    Congrats on the first!!!
    God bless our veterans! Thank you for your sacrifices!

    Re: Unexpect LARGE surface find!!!

    OK now that is just SICK!
    I think all the fire engine sounds in the background of the video were because that spot was so freekin HOT!
    Man o man was there a Leprechaun or a rainbow or something?
    Great finds. Although you had me cringing the way you were rubbing that V nickel.
    I'm thinking to myself while watching it - he's gonna rub the face right off that coin! LOL

    Big congrats !
