Back to the basics!...stacks and stacks of memorials!

[Danimal]

I decided that tonight I would abandon the DFX and fire up ol' reliable ACE250 and go in search of pennies. Not just ANY pennies mind you, but the most common type..Lincoln Memorials.
I avoided areas where I had found wheats in the past and notched out ALL returns except three in the penny range. I made SURE to include the one bar lower than where a copper penny sounded off so that I wouldn't miss a single zinc penny!
Man I am sore after digging so many holes....but it was a BLAST!!...
I know I haven't been doing this as long as a LOT of you fellow hunters, but c'mon...just how many of us have felt that great JOY as our finds pouch started getting HEAVY?

HH all!

totals stacked up (barely cleaned)

best one!...1973!

Reverse...note detail on that monument!

Nice finds Danimal.I do believe you could go to central Indiana and find more than clad as could I or anyone else who has detected for a year or more with the same machine,Ace250 or even a B.H..It's not a gift to be able to dig old coins,anybody can do it.Just depends where your hunting at and knowing where to hunt.Don't let the young 'uns get to ya.Now if they wanna try S.Florida for some of these old coins they boast about all the time,I know they would walk away empty handed or with a pocketfull of only clad.Its all in where you hunt, and down here that amounts to who you know, unless you plan on breaking laws to do it.Cause most all the "good spots" are off limits to detecting.

Research, pal, is what gets me these finds. I don't walk into modern parks and find these 1700s coins. Happy Hunting, pal!

Um, I am well and truly sorry danimal, I sincerely apologize for saying you are from Iowa. I didn't mean to offend you, and I hope we can still get along. After all, if you start ignoring me, I won't have half as much fun berating you. Oh, by the way, congrats on the pennies.

I guess if you had enough beers in you that Iowa might start to sound like Ohio

No offense taken gold fish!

Memorials....Really.....I'd be bored to tears but that just shows that we are not all alike. More power to ya danimal. Here's hoping that you find each and every one of them so I don't have to.

well Zeus...I wouldn't want to spoil things for ya, but I'm sure there's plenty of clad left for ya regardless of how much myself and others pull out of the ground.

Oh yeah.....it's "schnitzel"
