Hello fellow t-neters,
Its been over 2 years since I've had a chance to get out and detect. Our family is now larger by 2. So we now have a 7 year old son, a 2 year old son and a daughter that just turned 1 on July 3rd. Needless to say finding the time to detect has been nearly impossible. But today i took advantage of the 105 degree heat index and ventured over to my wifes grandmothers house (one of the first houses built in town (circa 1860)) to relax and enjoy the cool. I targeted the area between the sidewalk and the street thats about 15 feet wide and 100 feet long for a little over two hours. I didn't start digging anything of interest until halfway thru my hunt.
First item dug......1979 penny....(its gonna be a long day)
Then i hit a dime, a few pennies, and a quarter within about 10 mins of each other.......(ok, not bad for a couple years off)
Then i get a solid quarter signal and I'm thinking "things are going to be ok" when I pull out a standing liberty quarter. At this point I'm totally thrilled and put down the equipment to enjoy an ice cold PEPSI and smoke a camel to bask in the joys of my discovery. (even if the beauty is so rubbed down there is no date and all of her features are gone.) I'm thinking it was somebody's "worry stone", carried in a pocket for 50 plus years.
Last item dug.....an air horn they gave away at last years county fair.
So hunt total is....
2 clad quarters
1 clad dime
4 pennies
1 1944 wheaty
1 standing liberty quarter
13 pop tabs
1 folded copper piece of metal with embossed designs
1 cap nut
1 air horn
