Retired on April 4th and I'm loving it! Time to do things I want! Been metal detecting a lot. Here's the finds from my last 3 hunts. One is a bucket lister that was high on my list!

Went to one of my honey holes and it produced as always. Found a lot of wheats and then found this 1911 Barber.

Next day went to the spot I found the old militia button by the creek and found this Canadian one cent from 1886.

Then yesterday I went back to the creek spot. Set myself up and started moving. All metal mode and I was getting iron signals left and right. Then I got a solid 24 on the Nox. Dug it up and got this!

My first seated! I dug this in the first hole of the day! She's old and tarnished but she's beautiful to me! I had the goal of finding my first seated this year and I did it already! 1853! Then it started raining so I quit and went home a happy man! Going back today gridding the place.

Thanks! I wish the reverse was like the obverse. The obverse is awesome, full lines and full liberty in the shield.

I'm retired, wondering if I'll ever be able to do what I want.

Thanks! First hole of the day! Couldn't believe it. Thought it would take all year to maybe get a seated. You'll get your seated sooner than you think!

Now, that's a helluva day!

Thanks!
