I Haven't heard the fat lady Sing Yet!! Seated Half!!

Received permission today for a new field. Not as old as I would like, house on the property is from 1860s.
Was hoping to find older settlement on the fields. But couldn't come up with any signs.
Here is a funny story. So there is a old big pond on this property, by the house. They just drained the pond and getting ready to fill it in. Sooo I thought why dont I see if there any goodies in there before they fill it.
Its dry, at least I thought so. I take 2 steps in and boom, I sink all the way down to my crotch and cant move..
I toss my detector up to dry land and im thinking oh sh-- what now.
I can see the lady about 100yards away and start yelling HELLO!!! HELLO!!! she sees me and starts running. Her and her daughter.
Well im pretty embarrassed at this point, so I say boy what I will do for a BUCKLE..lol.
They start laughing.
They grab my shovel hand it to me and start pulling me out..
Wow, that was the most smelling crap I have ever smelled..lol
So you see my find for the day, and I also got Swamp Butt!!! Sorry for the long story. Just goes to show what we do for Buttons and buckles and seated half dollars..
Thanks for listening.
George.

That's why I always let IP go first into the unknown!
I thought you were going to say your pouch was so full it took you down in the muck!
Despite sinking up your er..pockets in the quagmire, you filled them up with some decent finds!
Wtg on the half dollar!

That's quite a story George. I got stuck like that once in a remote location with nobody around to pull me out. Pretty scary stuff. Finally got out but left my boots 3 or 4 feet deep in the muck. Looks like it was well worth the trouble seeing how you were able to pocket yet another big silver. Nice going buddy!

Dude, you never cease to amaze me man!! Have you ever done like a roundup video? If so is it still online somewhere? Your finds are incredible man. I can only hope that I can find a fraction of the stuff you've found, just this year alone. Crazy! Another amazing coin! Thanks for sharing brother. Cheers.

You certainly set the bar very high for consistently making top notch finds! Congrats again on a sweet seated half.

Only fifteen and a half weeks to go buddy! Then I'll show you how to dig Celtic gold and hammered silver!

True. You needed a buddy with you. That way there would be pictures of "the incident" to share with tnet. After the photo shoot I'd pull you out of the mud. :laughing7:

I'd leave him hang there for a while and use his deus to make a good find or 2 lol! !

All the way to your crotch....so that's all of about 14" lol. Georgie I told you this season would be amazing for you and Scraps. But this is getting a bit ridiculous. I'm out of nice things to say so I'm gonna start acting like a jealous a$$ and just say mean things. You suck bro! I'm thinking about taking the entire summer off next year so you don't make my finds look so pathetic. Hoping were not quite done and that I will be out there the end of next week. Really happy for Ya brother. I'm giving you the MVH award for this season. You have earned it

See now if I had been there hunting with you I would have reached the shovel towards you but just out of reach. I would have begun telling you stories about quicksand and how sad your family would be if you sunk out of sight. I then would have asked you to show me what you had in your pouch and if you valued the finds over your horseshoe up the butt life. I obviously wouldn't have let you die, but might have waited till you were up to your armpits before I extended the shovel to you. And that would be after you agreed to give me THAT SILVER SEATED HALF DOLLAR!!!
