Don't be a sissy old man..get in & stomp those weeds & gooseberry bushes Down

I've been detecting at Oronoco Park and found a few coins the last eight times there. The first three I got today and the others were in the last hunts.
Today in the woods I got the 1890 Indian Head Cent first and then I looked at all the gooseberry bushes and the weeds and thought I better give it a try. I got in an area about 8 X 12 thick with weeds and gooseberry bushes and started stomping them down and in about 10 minutes I get sweet tone and dig 4 inches down and out poped a half dollar coin. I took it to the lake to wash it off and could see it was a 1918-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar. About an hour later I got the 1919 Wheat Cent.

Nice coin finds, I would by mighty happy with those kind of finds, what is gooseberry, is it anything like blackberry vine................dan :thumbsup:
Gooseberry bushes are about 3 foot tall and have thorns all over.They grow lots of green berries about the size of a large pea and are bitter.They will make you pucker up like rhubarb. Later in the season they turn purple and are sweeter but I like them green. Maybe you would like me to send you some next year and a plant also.
