a little video of todays hunt
Hey guys,
Met up with OldDude today to do another round of door knocking, we hit the back country roads and he spotted a good looking farmhouse so we approached them and easy peezy we got permission! super nice folks and we made a connection for some fall digs! he'll tell you that his sites mean less for him and more for me and vice versa yada yada yada lol
jk dave! anyway, I hit the front yard first and hit a few wheats right off the bat, I thought boy its got potential. Shortly later I got this awesome buckle, that I believe is a shoe buckle
so I kept gridding along and snatched a 1862 fatty indian head! Shortly after that I hit a nice high 80s mid 90s repeatable at 6 inches, so I get a diggin and pow, 1835 Large cent!,
I hit the trifecta!! all of that came in a small area that I point out in the video, about a 20' x 80' area! that was pretty much the only old coin-producing spot in the yard besides the wheats OldDude snatched elsewhere in the yard, I seemed to have found the old section of the property. I also got some cool relics like the 4 leaf clover pin, a thimble, a front and back of an old compact, a lock plate, a few keys, and what appears to be an old small bracelet? We left shortly after Old Dude made his exit find, a sweet flat button with the word Best on back, my last find on the property was a 1945P War nickel!!
silver #31 on the year, Old Dude must be my warnickel good luck charm, 2 hunts with him and 2 war nickels, thanks pal! this tiny little coin I almost forgot to mention, it says "Island Eyrir" on front and 1953 on back, thoughts
After that we obtained permission at a really amazing looking property old dude has had his eye on for some time, the place is on the national registry for historic places and was absolutely beautiful but, the guy gave me permission with a warning, and ill quote him "ill warn ya, a lot of people have been through here already" Well besides old dudes awesome 2piece military button, he was right, it was a barren wasteland of nothingness!
oh yeah, almost forgot, this little intruder scared the bejesus out of me so I rang his bell,
his friend wasn't so pleased and scampered off!
all in all an awesome day with some killer finds and some future spots secured, thanks for looking and HH!!
