heres a video of todays hunt:


Hey guys,
got in the car today and headed south, hitting sideroads along the way looking for that perfect home, got a little carried away though as I got about 40 miles away from home:dontknow: anyhow, nice lady didn't hardly listen to my pitch and says sure go ahead, man sometimes that's so easy and other times youd swear im asking for their kidney or something!:laughing7: So I started gridding the back yard first and within minutes I hit a sweet 90 tone at 2 inches! I thought no way but dug it anyway, so glad I did because I got this sweet 1917D SLQ!!!:headbang: sl dirt.JPGfront back.jpg the grass was full of roots and there was a lot of shale in the yard, that's the only thing I can think of that kept it so shallow??:dontknow: So I keep gridding along and get a nice 80s tone repeatable and sounding like a silver dime, I pop a plug and to my surprise this baby was in the hole waiting for me!! ring dirt.JPGring front.JPGring side.JPGring closeup.JPGI had it checked out by a jeweler they said its not a real diamond :BangHead: but it is sterling! not too many more targets in the backyard besides a couple spoons and a pocket knife and a decorative door lock cover so I moved along to the front yard and get a nice 90s repeatable tone by a tree root, well after hacking away at the roots for over thirty minutes I was granted a destroyed tin cup:BangHead:, one day that WILL be a silver half!! lol. shortly after the tin cup debacle, I got a nice mid to upper 80s tone at 4 inches so I dig it and it was a small coin spill containing 3 wheats and another SLQ!!:hello2: beat front back.jpg only thing with this one is theres no date and some green crud stuck on it from a wheat being on top of it I used toothpaste to try to remove that but now I got a shiney slq with no date and a green ring on it lol I don't care, Ill take it anyway! my last cool relic was this chrome cap thing with some initials and a date carved in it:icon_scratch: carved.JPG it says "RB Nov 3 1933" pretty neat!

heres the haul!take.JPG that's silvers 25,26,&27 on the year!!

thanks for looking, watching, and HH!!

Now you're talking! A gold coin! What better goal? I'm in too!

Okay....we have to solemnly swear here and now....I promise to tell NO ONE about our cache of gold coins. No need in feeding Big Brother's enormous appetite for OUR cash. Remember the California couple's find that was confiscated.

Gold coins!?!? Cache?? Cash???

(First, let me find one and then I'll worry about shares. LOL )

sorry guys if I ever did find anything like that it just may require a "roundness in the hole" type seizure :blob8:

sorry no climbing in doghouses for this guy though..............
 

Very nice. Congrats. You are really tearing up the silvers!

Congrats on your bunch of silver! Well done!
If you find a cache of gold coins feel free to express it any way you want! :hello2:
If you do just show us one coin standing on edge and we will know it has "friends"....ok? Shhhhh! :headbang: :coins:
 

That is one of the nicest standing liberty quarters that I have ever seen. What a great hunt! Keep up the good work!

Have you guys seen my children? Lol god im bored. This honey-do list is killing me!!SAM_1111.JPG
 

love those barber dimes, still haven't found one or a rosie for that matter. went from finding merc's to seated dimes. funniest thing so far this year, i've found more silver halves then quarters. not gonna complain about it , just weird. Tell the "commander" if you don't use it, you lose it. your detector i mean of course.

those barbers and seated came from the same house, I go 2 years with none and then all of those in 2 weeks lol how bout that for dumb luck!, im doing better with mercs this year, I think I have ten mercs as opposed to 3 roosies.

as for the "commander", she pretty much don't care when I go, except we are buying a house and shes pregnant so the list goes on and on lol..........

Thanks!
 

Two SLQ's in one hunt- sweet! That 17-D is in amazing shape. I collect that series and always look forward to seeing them posted, especially the better dates. Congrats and hopefully you'll find many more!

Oh my wife knows im obsessed, yesterday when I got out she was teasing me saying I'm like a child because I was texting her making deals with her so I can go to detect.I know once the baby comes I'm going to get out as much but I still will get out or your just going to have to kidnap me. plus the house I bought is built in the 1910s and the lot is 45 feet wide 248 feet deep. You better believe I'm going to excavate the heck out of that yard. Lol!!!
