Month and a Half of Camping Out, New Photos Added

[curbdiggercarl57]

Since The Dark One has been banished from his favorite tot-lot for the time being, he has temporarily sold what remains of his soul hunting an area under construction out here in Denver. He lives there. He may sleep there for all I know. Occasionally he smells like he does. I can only hunt on my days off, and weather permitting. I’m now even starting to feel that he has control over that. He gets sun, I get snow. Dry soil, I get wet. Not content with just altering the weather, he consistently one up’s me. I dig a clad dime, he digs a Rosie. I did a Rosie, he digs a Merc. Merc, he gets a Barber. I finally find a Barber dime, I lose it. (1914-D). First coin I’ve ever lost, while detecting. Never comforting to see a digging partner 50 feet away, staring back at you, and chuckling. I seem to amuse him. Discerning, to say the least. And then there’s the issue of finding tokens. I manage to dig a bent and torn Good for 5 Cents, he’s manages to find six or seven nice, unlisted, perfect specimens. And, please don’t get me started ranting about the gold ring ratio. And then, when I’m not at the site he’ll torture me with phone calls far, far, late into the night, screaming incoherently into the receiver with what new discoveries he’s unearthed. The workers at the site stay clear of him. Grass may never grow where he steps. I just don’t know anymore. So anyway, enough about him, here are my meager finds. Taken together, they would have been one or two great days of hunting. But this was over a two month period. People are finding some real nice stuff here, but you gotta stay for the home stretch. Dig everything. And I mean everything. Hopefully I can piece together from everyone, what they have dug, and compile a list.

I wouldn't call those meager finds in the least. Some folks don't even find that many silver coins in a year. So congrats on a successful two months!!!

Si.They have been found. Actually the workers laugh and throw coins at us.

Re: Month and a Half of Camping Out

That is an enviable array of unearthed coins and collectibles my friend!

P.S. Your writing style seems vaguely familiar.

Trips were well worth it. Even having to bear good hearted humiliation.
Good on you!

Plehbah?

You snatched Carl's body, didn't you?

My sophomoric attempt at humor compared to Plehbah's?
I'm touched.

Re: Month and a Half of Camping Out

This is a startling story,and the sort of behavior that is acceptable.

Re: Month and a Half of Camping Out

Thanks everyone. Forgot to include a couple of photos. This one shows a "Jimmie Allen, Flying Cadet" pin from the 1930's, a few religious medallions, jewelery, and a really cool sterling top of a political pin. It's engraved GOP. The other small hatchet shaped item is an old political, "Anti-Patterson" political pin, from the 1900's. The silver ring is a Disney, Donald Duck, from the 1950's. Again, thanks for looking.

I think that Donald Duck ring would have done it for me. That would be a successful 2 month's hunting in one little package. You're doing pretty darn well, especially when us North Easterners are using pick and shovel to dig the pull tab signals Plehbah semms to enjoy so well!
