Well guys I had a awesome hunt this morning and got myself 2 first. I went to a spot full on iron (of course) mixed in with white shells, so I decided to put the 6โ€ on the 800 and run it at 7 recovery speed. Well it worked out great because I got my first Seated Half Dime a 1840 O Seated Half Dime!! I was freaking out. Then getting very tired from the shells, falsing and roots I hit a sweet signal and got my first J Hook. The Lord shine upon me today :)

Itโ€™s so hard to get to I was always worried about the front spoiler on my truck...well not anymore!!! Lol IMG_1972.jpg

Worth every penny. Thanks for looking and sharing my happy moment [emoji1317]

Hey I just saw your latest finds. You are definitely on a civil war site. Keep pounding it !

Ill have to check that out , then 'for some reason '??? tell about my similar finds . BTW I've found 3 j hooks in the last 5 + Years. So IMO that's pretty rare. Heck I've won 7-8 in Club Raffle drawings / prizes BUT! I have no idea where they were found. Sooooo. ???

Great job. I have a seated half dime, but Iโ€™m still looking for the capped bust dime and half dime and the j hook as well. Looks like you have potential in that site. Congratulations and keep swingin.

Hey Truth, STUNNING example of a half dime you have there! Big congrats...and you bet I'd rip both bumpers and the bed off to find one! I mean...in the good old days I've tore lots of parts off my truck, and occasionally have had to roll her back over on to all 4 wheels...for nothing more than the fun of it. The ever elusive half-dime...still that for me, near the top of my bucket list. Congrats! Ddf.

dirt itโ€™s a amazing feeling as for the front spoiler thatโ€™s what they make industrial zip ties for. Red neck ingenuity at it finest. Iโ€™m leaving a 5 am to go make out there. I sucked on that half dime until it was clean as a whistle. What a little dirt when you have a quarter can of Copenhagen in your lip. Lol

Iโ€™m bringing my machete to clear out those swamp vines I had to dodge last time. I canโ€™t sleep thinking to much so looks like a all nighter watching videos and tips for swinging in this shell, iron, root infested site. But I will bring it dirt.
