A couple of oldies

[mainer]

Welcome back! Was able to get out this past Sunday to a field I have pounded over the years. This field has produced some nice coins and relics for me in the last 3 years or so, and Sunday was not a disappointment. Cranked the Explorer up and dug stuff that I am sure I past up in the past. Both the coins were around 4 inches deep but standing right on edge. The first coin Iron Patch ID as a King George counterfit. It actually held its design better then any of the real ones I have dug. Too bad its eaten away. The second coin is my first seated liberty Half dime. Finally crossed that one off the list. I have dug two capped bust half dimes but never a seated. Sure was a welcome site in the bottom of the hole. Thanks for reading hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

Congratulations on the half dime!! I remember you said that was still on your list when I found one this summer. Are you done hunting and did you have any luck? I get started tomorrow in the a.m. going musket hunting in the great northwoods... hh Bill

Congrats on the counterfeit...it's a beauty despite the condition!

Thanks guys. Bill hunting was a bust. Not a lot of deer shot this year down here. Dont know what the story was. Just not a lot of deer around. I will be toting my muzzle loader for the next couple of weeks, so its not over. But I dont expect to have a lot of time from here on out. Best of luck to you. Keep me posted if ya get a wall hanger.

Pretty easy to miss a half dime on edge. Congrats for crossing another off the to dig list.

Pewter counterfeit, they must be darn scarce. You would probably need an electric fooling machine to get someone to take one of those.

I would be happy with both of those ! I have not found a Half Dime of any date.


I too will be headed out this Saturday morning with the smoke pole

Good luck, VPR

We get nine days. One week, two weekends. I did not get a doe permit this year either

We get two weeks in this part of the state. The northern parts only get one week. I got a doe permit, but due to the lack of deer down here I passed the only one I saw up. Hopefully next year will be better. Good luck VPR.

WOW! That KG counterfeit is SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! If I were you, I would touch it up with a bit of hairspray to eliminate any more flaking.

We got all kinds of different names for stuff up here. Winters are too long, if ya know what I mean. I am assuming its pewter. I scratched the edge of it and its all shiny. If it is pewter it held up good. The Maine soil is not kind to pewter. I didnt get the buck. So if you want surf and turf, I can supply the surf but you will have to bring the turf.
