Hi all. Nate and I have been pretty busy lately (No Doug, I haven't retired). :wink: Nate with Track, exams, school projects, prom and such. Me with supporting two teenagers, a wife, dog, 4 old cars and a place in the 'burbs. ;D Work has been busy too and I had to spend some time at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Nate and I did get in a couple hunts. Nate posted his stuff last week and he did better than me but I still got a few keepers.

The first hunt I did was at a one room school house foundation (solo about an hour).

Nate and I have hunted this place a couple times without finding anything good. We have talked with some other people who found some good coins but not us. But I thought I might try using the small 7.5” minelab coil and going slow. This proved to be the ticket as I dug out this sweet 1895 IH with two nails.

I usually don't get too excited about IH's but this is one of the nicest ones I have dug.

The next hunt I was with Nate. We went to a local park and worked the old sledding hill. There was a lot of trash but I managed to get some wheats and a 1937 Merc. So the IH satisfied my old coin itch and the merc the silver itch. :) The little heart shaped necklace I don't think is gold. It says “Marlene” on it.

The Saturn Rocket sovenier was not found but made by me with one of those machines on my trip to Kennedy. The trip was cool as we got to poke around the Space Shuttle Atlantis (actually inside the vehicle) and various other places at the Space Center.

Last but not least – Nate's Senior Prom was this last Saturday:

Good luck on all your hunts.

Nice digs. I love the deep green color of that indian head. They don't get any better than that. Congrats. :thumbsup:
 
I've been dedicated to useing the 8 inch coil over the last few weeks on my SEs and I too am impressed. Yesterday, in a run down yard I began my hunt with a Platypus 8.5x11 only because my #1 SE had weak batteries. It didn't take me long to steal the lower rod and 8 inch coil!

Great job! I'll echo that Indian is grand! :)

Mirage,

Nice digs, man, you are kicking some butt this year! Where is Danimal at? :icon_scratch: Is he still keeping his passion high? :icon_scratch:

That 1895 is AWESOME!

Kirk

P.S. Nate looks sweeter than sweet, but the boy needs a hairrrrrcuuuut. :tongue3: :D
 
So...No pic of Mirage in HIS Prom outfit? Pretty in pink I'll BET!!!

Great finds bro. Call in sick or something and get to work digging more good stuff!
 
Bob,
I've been sitting by the computer hitting the refresh button for weeks now waiting for your post. ;D :wink: Glad to see the retirement home let you out for a bit. :o :tongue3: Congrats on some great finds Bob. That has to be the nicest IH I think I've seen on TN. Man, what a beautiful coin!!! You want to trade for some CW bullets? :wink:
Great pictures of you and Nate. He's going to be a heartbreaker. :-* Must have got his good looks from Mom? :icon_scratch:
I'm trying to decide if Nate reminds me of Leif Garrett, Peter Frampton, or Roger Daltrey from the 70's? (I'm showing my age :o )

Nate- I hope you had a great time at the prom. Pretty girl you have there. :thumbsup:

Take care guys,
Doug

Kirk,
Danimal is keeping the passion high and has made some nice finds. Nate does need to find a Barber soon. :thumbsup: ;D

Doug,
Retirement sounds good right now. As for Nate - I would go with Daltrey. The 70's are back. :icon_sunny:


Have a great Memorial Day weekend all.

Bob
 
That is the prettiest IH that I have seen posted in a long time congrats!!!!
 
That indian head penny really looks nice! I just had my prom 2 weeks ago! ;D Man Did it rock! Hope your son had a good of time as I did at prom.
 
All of TreasureNet has watched Nate grow into a fine young man. You must be proud. That's an adorable picture. :happy3: :happy3: :happy3:

Mirage...that indianhead is one of the nicest one's I've seen on here. Did you clean it..or did it come out of the ground that way? :)
