224 year old colonial silver found by Colonial Silver Zeus

[Colonial Copper Zeus]

KirkPa had to work today which had Zoyboy and I bummin out alittle. So we decided not to hit a virgin site without the bro. We went back to last weeks pasture which provided 3 Coppas,buttons and dropped musketballs. We weren't figuring on striking it rich today but the metal detecting gods had different plans for us. We were detecting for 2 hours with notta thing to show for it. My buddy John Walter popped into our heads and said......"Be patient boys....You know they're in there." All along it was Zoyboy imitating him. He is so good at imitating the Barbaric viking that I looked 360 degrees around for a gigantic redhead with a double bladed battleaxe bearing down on our parameter. We decided to have a break and regroup. After starting again we split up and were soon about 75 yds. apart when i got a below P on penny reading on my precious analog. Out popped a 1784 half real. I instantly scanned the horizon for the John Walter impersonator.I bellowed KYLE YOU FABULOUS SON OF A B@#$H COME OVER HERE SO I CAN KISS THE RESEARCH KING. Zoyboy sprinted the 75 yds. in record time with all his equipment in his hand. He was starting to shake and quiver with what else?...THE COLONIAL FEVER . We decided to call it a day shortly after so we could go back with Kirk next week.

Uncle Zeus,
Way to go on an awesome OLD silver find!!! You guys are hot this year already. Looking forward to seeing the next hunt.

Kyle,
I must find out your ra-search technique's.

Kirk,
I gotta ask... what is with the butt wiping gig? Do you work at a daycare or senior center?
I thought since you were copper crazed, you if anyone would be working at PENNY'S.

Way to go guys!!!

Kirk,
Good for you Dude. I'm proud of you. That's a great career and a great service to help others. With a background in nursing you will never want for a job and can move anywhere. I used to work as an orderly in a Calif. hospital back in the 70's & early 80's. I met my wife at there, she was and still is is an accountant. I used to have the fun job of transporting the deceased into the morgue cooler.

Zeus, congratulations on an amazing find.



Kirk, I use to want to hunt with you guys, until I read what you wrote. Why does wiping butts make you think of your hunting partners. Where the heck are you looking for them coppers anyway?

I just got done stuffing numerous pieces of pizza down my jib and I had to get on here to look at your coin again. It gets my Colonial blood a pumpin'! I can't wait to hit this site again with our usual John Walter-like passion!

Analog strikes again! OOOOOOF

KirkI know Kirk..I feel like mounting a light above my jib and detecting right now but it's probably prudent that we wait.
