I met up with a couple of fellow T-netters for the first hunt of 2019. Well, it didn't start off the best way a hunt could, but, it did end rather well. On the way to the site I managed to nail a full grown coyote in my car traveling at 68 mph. He was able to take the front end out before going to coyote heaven :angel1:

I had a mighty hard time concentrating on hunting knowing I had a 90 mile drive back home with a front end with loose parts. I was able to put in the back of my mind for most of the day and was focused on finding some lost items. We hunted a WW1-WW2 camp/dump and we were rewarded with buttons galore. The site turned up a variety of finds dating the camp.

As you can see there were ample amounts of targets to be had. As far as coins go, I did pull my first merc of the year from there, a 1920 and beside the relics, Dan found a 1920 walker and Jimmy found a sterling silver medallion.

On the way home I stopped off at Wally world and grabbed some tape and bungy's and was able to jerry rig the front end well enough to get back home :)

Nice work! πŸ™Œ Could you come drive around my back yard acreage a few nights a week? It's turned into party central for two of the coyote packs out here. 🐺

Welp...at least now you don't have to fix the car. Maybe just a bit of baling wire to make it all permanent!

Good job! :tongue3:
