A Hunters Dream!!! Half Dollars, Merc's, IH's, Tokens, Rings!!!

OK y'all, You ever had one of those days that just goes the way you always wanted it to go. You know, find a spot
that no one has ever hunted!! Well it happened to me and my partner today. A friend of mine called me and told me about this site, said he couldn't hunt it because of his health and wanted to know if I would help the owner learn his new detector. Dah!!! You Bet!!!

We all went to this site, an old one room school house that was once used as a bar in the 1920's. All 3 of us got in about 4 hours of good hunting before mother natural took over and it rained.

The owner didn't find much, but Gary and I tried to show him how to use his new detector. We would find targets and have him check and see if he could find the signal. He did dig a really nice silver snake charm, and a wheatie and I gave him a token that I found worth 5 cents in trade. I had found two, but gave him one. Were going back and hope he finds some really good stuff. Were going to give him a SunRay probe to use with his ACE 250. That will help a whole bunch.

Gary had a Fantastic day, his finds are as follows. 1945 Walker Half dollar, 1928 Standing Liberty Quarter, 1943 Mercury Dime, 1841 Half Dime, 1850 Large Cent, 1935 Buffalo Nickel, two Indian Heads 1864 & 190?,a 1866 Shielded Nickel, 9 Wheat penny's '42,'32,'44,'40,'36D,'44,'11,'44,'45. One 1933, 30 Years of Ford Token, 1-Double Headed Washington Token, 1-Butterfly Ladies pin and 1- 10K Gold Ladies Ring.

I found a 1941 Walking Liberty Half Dollar, a 1944 Washington Quarter, a 1957 Roosevelt Dime, 1941 Mercury dime, two Buffalo nickels 1919 and one with no date, a Indian Head penny 1898, 2-K tokens worth 5 cents in Trade, 1-M P Faber, Genoa, Oh 5 cents in trade token, 1-1901 Pan American exposition, S-Cream Separator, MCH, Co. Bellows Falls, Vt. Token, 1-Love charm Lee & Bill and 21 Wheat pennies, '44,'44,'44,'19,'46,'42,'28,'38,'54D,'41S,'40,'45,'10,'40,'17,'52D,'30,'19,'46,'41,'42. Also one Cigar top E-UPMANN HABANA and one Ring.

What a Day, Hope all of you find a spot like this someday!!!

Wow!!!! That is a dream hunt ... very nice pile of goodies for both of you!

Thanks Jim, Gary and I have been finding a lot of good coins, I have just been lax on posting our finds. It takes a lot of work to clean two guys finds and then post them every day or two.

Glad everyone has enjoyed my post. We really had a Great day of hunting.

That's alot of really nice old coins..wish my hunts would end like that.... Check your 1916 buffalo for a double die in the numbers 1916 should be very obvious if you have one but post a pic for me to see anyways please

Sorry, I looked at it again, and it's a 1919. Guess I didn't look at it that close until you asked me about the Buffalo. Thanks for your Reply,

HH, Ringfinder
is it a 1919 P (No mint mark) or is there a mint mark on it? if your not sure where the mint mark is it's on the backside (reverse) on very bottom under the five cent between the E an C
I was askin the question above cause the D an S are semi key dates..enquiring minds want to know...lol

Ringfinder, that is a terrific site. I hope you can go back again and again, as there is bound to be more there.

Nothing like being the first detectorist at a site!!! I now know the feeling!

Congrats on all of those amazing digs. I love that Ford token.

The owner and two of my hunting partners are going back Friday, Willy. Hope we all find more goodies, especially the owner. I really hope he finds something really nice. It will be only his second time hunting. That's what it's all about, sharing, he gave us this site, it's only right that he find something really, really Nice.
