HEY GUYS ANDS GALS

Out today for a run with Cousin ED....had a lead on a new location.

Started out slow as we were trying to find the hot spot on the new site.....2 hrs in and only the fancy brooch ...broke the clasp on the back.
ED didn,t have anything either , then I hit the 1899 large cent ....ED didn,t seem to be as happy as I was..lol...he been having a slow week.
Then the belt buckle popped out ...nothing special...cheeply made.

ED at this time had enough of me finding stuff and him zilch. S o he says.... "Heading back towards the truck to find another spot".

I reluctantly agreed......ED made 2 more steps and bang had a 72 hit on the F75.....pops out a silver quarter and his mood chances instantly..lol. So I went over to see....I said... "did you re check your hole"....

Waves the detector over it bang another 72....pops out another silver quarter..rechecks....a fishscale 5 cent silver ....rechecks....large one cent copper. Needless to say ...ED is grinning from ear to ear....hasn,t had a silver for 6 weeks.

So with the mood changed dramatically...he wants to stay and we continue swinging. About 5 minutes later I hit a 71-72 on my F75.....dug my plug ....nothing in the plug and nothing on the pinpointer in the hole..rechecked with the detector and the signal is still there but it is under a root...I push the shovel in and get a chunk of dirt ...turn it over and see 2 silver DIMES... SWEEEEEET !!!

Get up RE-CHECK...another signal is in the dirt I dug out......pinpointer finds a QUARTER... and there lays 3 more silvers...2 quarters and fishscale 5 cent.... run the pointer threw the dirt and see 2 more silvers......another fishscale 5 cent and dime. No coppers...cool.

So much fun finding spills....20 minutes later hit a triple US wheatie hole..... walked 5 feet and hit a double...silver dime and large cent.
ED then hits a 4 coin spill...all small coppers dating in 1940s.

Only 1 single coin hit outta 22 coins.


Weirdest I have seen yet....why was everything in spills...very odd indeed ?????

That's what makes detecting great. It can turn on a dime... or a quarter, or a fishscale, or who knows what! That's what keeps me going on the days that aren't going well, and from now on when Ed is having a bad day you can remind him of this hunt and how fast it all can change.

I personally see it the same way, more neat than sparks my interest. But when you find a bunch of them there's always a chance of hitting a good year and getting a little value. What sucks is the two (think it was two) 1921 Fishscales that were dug were both found on the West coast.

That is what makes this so much fun............never know when or where.
I could see his frustration........was kinda funny to see his change of heart.

I think I would rather find those than those crusty old ones off the beach. The buttons however were the game savers!
There can't be too many places left with all that silver in the ground, just one less now!

I hear ya....but is always fun to find what your looking for...knew there wouldn,t be anything really old at this location.

Odd that both found on west coast and none on the east. One of them would make the day for sure.

Be back on the button hunt tomo......
