3 Semi-Key Pennies, 40+ Wheats, Some Silver..

[Captn SE]

Hello Everyone,

It sure felt good to get out and go detecting yesterday. No pressure to push to get more wheats/silver to increase my counts before the year end. I decided to head out to one of our old Barrio parks. Jon(goldenapples) met me around mid-day. The ground was super-saturated, and the signals were popping up everywhere, in the same areas my buddies and I have pounded to death countless times last year. I think we did a very good job at finding all the silver there; there wasn't one to be found yesterday. I did manage some good finds. My first semi-key penny was an '08 S Indian Head. Better than a merc or rosie anyday. I probably will never forget finding this since it is the 100-year anniversary of this coin. I also found two more semi-keys, a '10S and an '11S. I ended the day with over 30 wheats. Glad you could make it out there yesterday, Jon. Let's do it again tomorrow.

The 3 silvers were from my 1st hunt of the year last week.

Get out and find something Good!!

Dan,

What's up, buddy? It has been awhile since I posted on this site. I have been busy with my girlfriend and "job-related" stuff.

I saw that you got some great detecting trips in, my friend! That 1908-S penny is a nice one. Keep the wilver passion high, my friend.

You really are a true asset to this great sport. Out of all the treasure hunters on this site, you really have the innate ability to find wilver! If you wanted to find gold rings (you choose not to), you would find tons of them. If you wanted to find relics (they don't interest you as much), you would find a truckload of them. But, my friend, you want those wilvers, and let me tell you, you find a crapload of them. You rock!

Thanks, Kirk. I know you've been busy. You are a true asset to the Tnet family too.
If you had weather like us today, you'd drop everything and go detecting...I know you would..

It is 60 degrees here! BUT, I can't get out! Oh well, this Sunday we will be hitting a new Colonial field. We all hope to strike some old coppas!

I may be purchasing a Toyota Prius by the end of the week...this vehicle is kicka$$! I would be able to fit three detectors in the back easily...that is a must.

Take it easy!

My engineering buddies are buying Prius's because it's a practical, gas-saving import. They sure look funky, but I'm getting used to the looks now.

Gotta have that great gas mileage to hit those sites!

Excellent post, Capt. I haven't seen a dug S-mint Indian before--so that's really cool. I'm guessing it's probably easier to find them out West.

Thanks, guys.

BB, Coinman - You're right they are more common out here. This is my second '08S IH. I found one last year too. Also, one of my md'ing buddies just dug one up over the weekend here. About 40 miles from where I found mine.

Gas mileage is key when you're traveling an hour (one way) to a MDing site every week. Good idea Kirk.

Hi Captn SE congrats for the all silver you have there.

That's a ton of wheaties Dan. I wanted to get out here today too as it was 55 degrees...but it has rained non stop since early this morning. Oh well at least you got some hunting in..and it looks like you picked up right where 07 left off
It is supposed to be in the mid 40's the next day or so and I hope the rain lets up. I might have to creep over into one of my neighbor's yards and try to pop out a wheatie or something if I don't get some hunt time in soon.

And if you eat from one of the barrio tamale wagons, you won't need to gas up to get home.
