dam im good old coins follow me home now

[scrounger d detector collector]

well heres a goodun youll like .

i love it the story of the coin that folowed

me home.

scrounger n soup at the final hunt post FOF.

old soup finds an indian 1870.

i get a 1841 seated dime.

all too soon we gotta go .

this was a virgin site and i am honored that scott

was kind enuf to take me there.

about a half hour b4 we had to leave i had to answer

nature and slogged thru some sticky mud to get

to a secluded spot.

we were both kinda muddy but happy about our finds.

when i got to my hotel and seen what condition

my shoes were in i left them under the car.

no sense in making extra work for the host

. next morn i overslept and mighty sore.

had an xtra pair along and the muddies got brown bagged

clean em when i get home.

last night im emptying the trunk.

theres the bag. open it . mud has mostly fallen off shoes.

take shoes out. couple double handfulls of dried mud in bag

here ill just toss this no wait. maybe that bag

might come in handy. i dont have any other paper

bags around here right now. so pour mud by steps

put bag under sink.

this morn after breakfast go out.

geez it rained pretty good last nite.

whathaheckiz OGEEZ the little pile of dry dirt is gone

and there sitsa OMYGOD A LARGE CENT

yes folks i had a dissapearing signal late in the hunt

somehow i either dug it or walked over a suface find

that stuck to my shoes.

it has been in my ultrasonic cleaner all day waiting

for this post but is so corroded i still cant make

out the date.

like the soldier who came from battle and was shot

in the belt buckle without a scrtch.

CAN U TOP THIS ?

If the coil ain't getting it, the feet are.

That's why you rock Scrounger, you cover ALL the bases.
