Howdy Folks!
As a snow storm came up on us last evening, my wife, Pipster and me drove to a meeting
of the Eureka Treasure Hunter's club on the west side of town. We got there much later than
anticipated, but traffic issues caused problems arising from wet roads and snow coming down.
Pipster and Me both bought 20 dollars of raffle tickets hoping to get something good. There were
like 10 prizes that could be won, and Pipster and me had 35 tickets apiece for that one. In addition,
we had tickets for another drawing to win a 1.6 gram gold nugget. When all was done, I'd won a
1909 Barber half. Pipster got skunked. My wife bought one single ticket for the 3rd drawing, and
we couldn't believe when her number was called! She got a brilliant looking 1921 Morgan dollar.
Pipster and I looked at one another, then at the tickets we had plenty of, then at my wife. She
only bought one and scored a Morgan! That just wasn't right!
Anyhow, we were/are supposed to get like 8 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow, so I wanted
to put in a bit of hunting time. Temperature stayed in the 30s today, and I hit 3 locations in hopes
of having a good hunt before we get buried. In roughly 4 hours I scored:
102 coins (clad),
1 10k gold cross,
1 14k gold earring,
1 14k gold bracelet,
1 Silver ring stamped 925.
The 2nd site I hit had little, and I could see holes that somebody else dug. Somebody had worked
this particular location, real recently, and didn't cover his holes. However, because of his efforts,
very few coins were found. However, that's where I got the 14k bracelet. Looking at the holes, I
am unable to understand how the previous hunter missed it. He had to have walked right over it,
but there it was with dig holes all around the gold! Guess he figured it was aluminum, because
the VDI on it was 4.
My strange find of the day is a silver looking elephant, quite heavy, with a hinge that opens so you
can put something inside. I've never seen anything like this, and hope somebody knows more about
this item.
Also found a mess of kid type jewelry items, and found a bunch of nails at my first site.
Total time hunting today = 4 Hours. Then it started snowing again! That, and it got real cold too!
My take was:
20 Quarters = $5.00
16 Nickels = $0.80
22 Dimes = $2.20
44 Pennies = $0.44
Total = $8.44
Coin Count 102
Thanks for Looking,
Blessings,
