If ole man winter just HAS to come and spoil all our fun, then, I can
say that now, I'm ready.

I went out yesterday to get one more hunt in before the "fun" starts.
I picked on a clad factory so that I might end my season on a positive note.
Even picked up a nice silver ring!

I was very tired last night and figured to rest today. BUT....
The weatherman said that the temps were going to reach 60's !!
So, as tired as I was, I decided to try once more for something old.
Back to my soybean field.

I hunted for FIVE long hours! Trying to find just one more nice old
coin for the finish. I didn't find very much, (never do in farm fields).
But I did manage a couple flat buttons. Which are nothing to sneeze at
I just wanted a little something special. Ya know?

I believe it says "Rich Orange" :dontknow:

Then, I got this deep penny sort of hit. Around 72-76.
Best hit of the day! I was digging mostly 55-65 all day!
I call them "bullet hits" in a farm field.

But, this, was sweeter! I took my time digging.

When I opened the hole, the signal went straight to a 90!
See why?

I actually just sat there for a while. Not knowing which
silver I had, didn't really matter at this point. :)
I was just reliving what a wonderful season this one has
been for me. Living with it for a while, delaying, ya know? ;)

Some might say, "All THAT!?! For just a quarter!!!???"

But, it represents much more than that, it represents all the effort
that we ALL put into this hobby! I not only found a REALLY nice SLQ,
I found it HERE! Bound and determined to find a statement piece for
the end of my personal season AND prove that with enough perseverance,
anyone can!

So, ole man winter wants to play, I say, let him! I did what I set out to do.
But, he better watch out! If he doesn't completely lock me indoors, I will
STILL get out this month and dig some MORE! LOL

Stay at it folks! For as long as HE allows!

Thanks again for peeking!

Them SLQ's sure are nice to find. I only found one in 2 1/2 years of hunting. Congrats and happy hunting. 7up.

That's pretty cool, Gary! If I am not mistaken, that is the same date of the one I found and lost!:laughing7: Looks like the larger button has a pattern? May be a really nice one if you can get some more detail.
