The John Huston Jig !!

[Slytlytilted]

Have you ever watched "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" When john Huston does his little jig when they find gold?Now picture a one legged man doing this, it is frightingly funny but every time i find something good i just cant help myself.Well today was one of those days,a couple of days ago (last Thurs) as i was coming home in my wheelchair i saw a man an a teenager bulldozing some dirt at at house that looked like it was about a 100 yrs old in williamsport.An i asked if it would be ok to detect when they were through the guy said sure.I was like, great i'll be by tomorrow well i did'nt get there until Sat. an it was so hot! i havent been out for about 2 months 'cause of my surgery anyhow i got sunburnt pretty good! An i didnt find anything great except for 3 clad quarters 4 clad dimes and a bunch of dissolving zinc pennies. Not great but anytime i find a quarter for me its a great day so i went home happy but not elated! I saw while i was there at the site a trench they were digging and about 1 1/2 feet down a layer of bricks an figured that was probably where the original road was an also all the goodies. So today i went back an they had dug a few more trenches an piled the dirt up along sides the trenches.I detected all those piles and it was there that i did the John Huston Jig,i found my very first seated liberty dime an 1856!!
