Epic Weekend Hunt: Silver & 14K

[Carolina Tom]

Beez0404 invited me to come up and hunt with him on Saturday. He guaranteed that I would find at least one silver coin, so I greedily accepted the invite.

We went to several places. Mostly old home sites. Here is a list of the finds:

(1) 14K Wedding band "White Rose" 2.5 Gms.
(20) Wheaties.
(4) Silver dimes. Most silver coins that I have ever found in one day.
(3) Jefferson nickels, mistakenly found while looking for another gold ring.
(1) Junk Ring.
(1) Brass petcock part from a hit and miss motor. I put a pic from the internet of the complete unit.
(1) Blue Ridge overall button.
(1) Brass buckle.

I also found a badge from an Anderson Motor Co. automobile. They were built in Rock Hill, SC from 1916 until 1925. A total of 7000 were produced, only 11 are known to exist today. Note that it say "Made In Dixie" on the bottom. I am a car guy, so I consider this to be a really nice find.

It was an epic day of hunting, and I can not thank Beez enough. I would like to formally retract a small portion of the bad things that I have said about him in the past.

Thanks for looking and good luck on your hunts!

Great finds CT. Beez must be an OK guy to invite you and guarantee you silver. Are you holding back the other portion for your return trip and full retraction?

Thanks TBD. It was one of my best hunts ever, only my second 14K ring, and the most silver coins I have gotten in one day.

As for "full retraction" it will take a long time for me to retract all of the bad things that I have said, but I am trying!

I'm glad you had such a great day on Saturday. You did not mention in your post how much work had to be done just to be able to swing the coil halfway close to the ground. The property had a house on it that was built back in the very early 20's and was torn down about 4 years ago. It is not maintained so is all overgrown. I thought long and hard about who to ask up to hunt it with me. It had to be someone young enough to push the mower through that knee to thigh high grass. And since I found two silvers there already swinging in the few spots where the grass was a bit shorter I knew you were the obvious choice. I think it's time you let the cat out of the bag though regarding your true identity. I got to mow grass and metal detect with a celebrity this weekend. Thanks Robert LaSardo for a fun day cutting and swinging.

That is a good one. If I was really Mr. LaSardo... I would have hired someone to cut that grass for me.

I see that we think alike though, I couldn't help but snap a pic of you mowing too.

Hi C.T. fab hunt there, we got rained out this Sunday as has often been happening, its so wet out here seems like the whole area is big mosquito farm, I did get out to the local sandlot and got some fresh dropped zincs etc and a eyeballed plastic Barret Still it made someone happy

LOL!!! It was a LOT of hard work mowing that jungle what with it being so hot out. But in the end it was well worth it.

That Anderson motor car badge is really rare! They were only in business 8 years and only 6,000 cars were made. Only about a dozen cars are know to exist today. You might have a real treasure there!

Great finds tom!, nothing like a multi silver day!
Congrats on the great hunt, and somehow I think beez wI'll catch on to your sarcasm lol!

 

[Gonehunting]

Silver and gold is always nice Tom. I like some of your other unique finds as well. Great hunt!

 

[park pirate]

Silver and gold, nice Tom like that dirt shot....

 

[Old Dude]

Well that certainly was a good hunt Tom. Not sure how Beez pulled it off guaranteeing you a silver, but he did well, didn't he?
