Yo, dudes, I got out with PACO yesterday to a small research site in Northumberland County. KirkPA had to go to a family dinna (dinner) with his girlfriend, and vpone had other family duties. So, since we were both free to do whatever, we decided to do a little bit of relic hunting...Bone Dry Detecting style.
Well, to make a somewhat long metal detecting story short, we hit a site that supposedly held a tavern during the 1700s. From my research on Thursday, this tavern sat on public property in the middle of the city, with tons and tons of concrete surrounding it. Since it was only big enough for about two detectorists, PACO and I decided to give it a try.
Within the first minute, literally, the zoyster's analog meter pointed to the "P" on "Penny." I smiled, pinpointed, dug some doyt (dirt) out, obtained pinpoynta (pinpointer) from small pouch, stuck poynta into the doyt, picked up small coin, saw date of 1889, read the "One Cent" on the back, yelled to PAC, got up, kicked dug out doyt back into hole, and proceeded on.
Well, to make another long metal datectin' story short, I later found a 1900 Injun, two Wheats, and a 1952 wilver dime.
PACO only found two Wheats, and some clad that was thrown into the nearby bushes.
Well, folks, the PACSTER and I later agreed that it was nice to dig a little bit of "younger" American coins for an occasion. This year, we have only been finding early-American coins and Colonials, so these coins kind of broke the metal detecting wagon.
