Looks like I may be done for awhile, its 18 degrees out and it snowed last night.
Last sunday I was able to get permission on the farm next door to
where I got my quad last week. Its another 1880`s house and I was pretty sure it was gonna produce too.
I got started and was going almost an hour when I got a nice 19-20 signal fairly shallow, I was thinking it was gonna be a zincoln being shallow like that but I
have learned at these old permissions to dig it all, I`m glad I did as it turned out to be an 1882 Indian, my oldest one yet!
When I closed the hole I swept one time and bang got another 20 on my Equinox and this time dug up a 1892 Indian!! I rechecked the hole and my pinpointer
started singing again an when I dug around a bit out popped another 1882 Indian!!! wow this is great, best yard all year, I go about 15 feet and bang, another
20 signal and once I got the plug out, out comes another 1892 Indian!!!! wow! four Indians for the yard, can`t believe it.
After that it slowed down for about a half hour and I was about 50 feet from where I found all the Indians and got a very weak 21-22 signal, I dug it not really
knowing what to expect and after I got the plug out it took a few minutes to find it. After seeing a shiny rim expose itself I was expecting maybe a Merc, as it was
only around 3-4 inches deep.
Once I sprayed some water on it I let out a little whoop! I just found another seated dime!! That makes two Sundays in a row with a seated, wow!! This one was
a 1891 and was the best condition one I have found.
After that I found a few wheats the rest of the day and it was time to go home.
Tuesday morning was cold (23 degrees) but I wanted to see if I could find at least one more good coin before it froze up.
Glad I did as I went back over where I found all the Indians and all of a sudden got a solid 20 again! Once again I got the plug out and out came a 1902 Indian, my
fifth one out of this yard.
The next day I went out for a couple hours before work and was going around and old oak tree and got a solid 23-24 and after flipping the plug over, there it
sat right on the top of the plug! After cleaning it off I could see it was a 1908 Barber in great condition! This yard is really kind to coins, I only covered less
than a quarter of it, the lady said I could come back in the spring to finish!
I got a couple more short hunts in the rest of the week and found a couple more Mercs to get my silvers FTY to 95, gotta hope for some warm weather to
arrive if I`m gonna get to 100 this year.
