Relic Hunting
I started the day out going to do some relic hunting. I ended up at a house site that I had permission to hunt. As I knocked on the door, a nice little old lady answered the door. I introduced myself, she pointed out to me where several house sites had been and told me stories pertaining to her property. She told me to feel free to hunt anywhere I wanted. I started my hunt within fifty yards of her back door. Within ten minutes, I had already dug about 20 targets, mostly odd and end trash and jar lids. Then I got a BIG BANG! I pushed my shovel into the ground and as I pulled it back, the dirt clot opened up and I saw the edge of a silver coin. I stopped and went to her door and asked her to come and see what I had found. I let her pick the coin up, it was a 1942 S Walking Liberty that is beautiful! The little lady is 90 years old and she was tickled to death to see this beautiful coin. We oowed and ahwed over it, she went in to get her magnifying glass out so we could get a better look at it. As I went back to hunting, I dug several more targets and then the next big sound that I heard was the Standing Liberty with a Flying Eagle on the back. This is the tale of the day that I spent with 3 ladies and what a day it was! Sorry for all the photos, but I hope you enjoy them. HH

great hunt and nice story....it was great to let the women make the first pickup

It was cool to see her pick it up, and then we just looked at it for 15 min. I have got lots of nice finds but this is one that will stay with me for a long time. HH
