I left work early to get allergy meds one and rest my pounding head. I buy the meds and feel better on the way home...so whatta ya do?! That's right. Hunt.

I hit a house that I chose because it sits in the corner of an old estate that was pieced out. Got a nice hit at 12-47 at 3" and dug that sucker expecting a clad quarter and instead a starred beauty is staring at me. A very nice long shot and the 2nd LC I scored this season that way (different spots though). Just to round things off I found 3 silver dimes nearby in the same yard. A very satisfying day after not getting out this weekend...

Cheers, now where's them beers?

Good luck out there!

Hey Mr Boss didn't Scrappy go home sick? Well I just passed an old house and he must have gotten a side job landscaping because he was digging holes. It had to be for flowers.....Great Finds.
But I don't know why he was doing cartwheels..

Claritin is an amazing drug! Lol
 

You and them dimes again!! Lol Congrats!!

Why is it everyone that finds big coppers can actually see what they have except me?
 

Nice little coin haul there Scrappy. Gotta be more there plus maybe a few 19th century relics. Good luck on the return visit.
 

Nice job an the silvers and that LC is a pleasant surprise! nice saves!

I'm trying here! 1771 is my oldest this year!

thanks Tom. I pounded the area hoping for some 1800's silver but no dice. I think I'm going to try my 6" coil there and see what happens.

oh I wouldn't worry. I just rubbed the magic 8-ball and it said you're going to find a wicked old copper with a date soon!
 

You're killing it bud. What is that now 50 SILVERS? Great job and Congrats on the LC, it's pretty sweet as well!
 

Great finds! You are on a great spot. Hope you get more from there

I just counted. 61 silvers for the year thus far. The condition of the LC had me excited. Most coronets I find just are not pretty

thanks Bill. I will go back because you said to, Master Jedi. This time I'll take my 6" coil to sort through the crap pile over there!
