Saturday:
Todd Lipe took me hunting on Saturday. He is an awesome guy!
We hit a couple of different places. I got a Merc and war nickel in the same hole, first time I have ever gotten two silvers out of one hole. I also got the thimble from the Monopoly game, clock gear, .22 pistol cylinder, wheatie, lighter, old broken ring and (drum roll please) 1940 German 10 Pfennig coin... featuring eagle and swastika! This site has yielded other WWII stuff, I assume that a soldier brought this souvenir home from the war.

Sunday:
I met Smittyman on Sunday mid morning for a little hunting. I found the usual nonsense... keys, dog tags, hunk of metal that says "LEE" on it and some clad. Then the magic happened and a shiny coin appeared! It is amazing how much better the day seems, after you find a silver coin.

Thanks for looking and good luck on your hunts.

That is a great hunt, CarolinaTom, some hunter arrived home with his .22 revolver in the holster, with a big hole where the cylinder should be, ugh...congrats on the silver. Sub 8-)

You will love this... I had another silver... '52 Rosie. We were hunting this school with underground power lines and the EMI was causing the Deus to chatter something fierce. I got a good signal and dug a hole.. nothing in it... moved over 6" and dug again... nothing. Put the plugs back in and walked away. Todd goes over the plugs, gets the signal... removes the plug... and there sits the silver coin. I was VERY disappointed with myself to say the least. However, I guess I was happy for Todd! Dayum!

CT another weekend of great finds for you. I know you were in Silver heaven again. I wish you'd take me hunting so I could find anything. I'd bring a flyswatter so you wouldn't get stung.

I am going to use "peanut butter and jelly". Thanks to Bladerunner for that one!

Thanks for taking me on a really nice hunt. I had a good time. You got that silver fair and square... all I did was loosen the dirt for you!

Hi Tom nice hunt, sounds like you had good company also , my only company this time was the patrol car that checked me out, no doubt someone phoned in about the guy falling to the ground and then getting back up again :dontknow:

That's a bummer. It's too bad you didn't have your notes from the boot camp that explained that you can change the frequency when you're experiencing heavy EMI. Chance are you would have found that coin too.

So he got your sloppy seconds?? That ain't cool! You should have told him you had marked it for return later. :laughing7: j/k

If I were you, I'd still add .5 to my silver total for the year since you did "find" it. :thumbsup:
