It was a bit chilly on Saturday morning, when TNet member Todd Lipe showed up around 8:30AM. We headed out to a local school to meet some other hunters... Shovelnose, Smittyman and two others. After a little hunting, Todd and I decided to head to lunch and another less crowed spot. We went to lunch, then off to a spot that Todd had secured for us. Old house with maintained grass and big trees.
I got out of the truck, turned on the Deus... first target zincoln, second target 1899 IHC! Only the 4th one that I have ever found. The coin did not circulate much before it was lost, the reverse is in really nice shape. I had not been there 5 minutes!
I searched along for about 20 minutes, a little clad, a wheatie, suddenly a nice high tone, I dig a plug and stuck to the bottom is a silver disc... '51 quarter. The ground was really black, and that disc was silvery white, what a contrast.
I continue along in the back yard, I get a weird broken high tone, dig a plug, and out comes a Lincoln cent. I could hardly believe that was what I heard, another scan, nice clean high tone this time. I dig a little more and a '64 Rosie pops out. I fill the hole, stand up, swing over the area, and maybe 6" away... another high tone. I dig a plug, and another '64 Rosie shows up.
A Tootsie Toy jeep showed up a little later too.
In less than 2 hours, I dug four keeper coins. That is about the best that I have ever done.
YTD silver coins #48, #49 & #50.
Thanks for looking, and best of luck on your hunts!
