Braved the Ohio cold today for some end of the 08 year SILVER

[crazyjarhead]

Good New Years Eve everyone;
The weather here today went from 45 yesterday to the low teens with wind chill today. I was itching to get out again after yesterdays 1864 2 cent piece find. While on TNET, Dayton Digger PMed me and ask me what I was doing. He said he had a few days off so I already knew where this was going. I said, sure. So he was nice enough to even pic me up and take me to one of his "honey Holes" After a few hours of numb fingers (I don't wear gloves) and frozen faces I was able to leave with a first for me, SLQ. The date is worn off like most SLQ's I see. I also found a 1944 merc and 3 Wheaties, with 1920 being the oldest. Had a great time even though the north wind was blowing at 20-30 MPH. I didn't want to leave but he had plans for tonight.....understandable. Plan on meeting New Years Day, Maybe for another hunt. Thanks for looking Ron

Nice silver finds, Ron! Congrats on your first SLQ!

I only found a couple SLQ's this year...I was lucky that both had dates.

Congrats on the nice silver Ron, and your first SLQ. Date or not, those suckers are hard to find.
I know every time I see you post now we're in for something good.
Have a great 09' season.

Congrats on the nice SLQ Ron. You're really raking them in.
No gloves?!?

I went out for a few hours today (brrr!) and didn't find much but did get to finally swing the new 9x12 coil Santa brought.

HH
Happy New Year!

Great finds

SLQ's are definitely some of the hardest types to find. . . well done!

(You'll also find more if you wear some gloves )

That's how I earned my name, crazy jarhead!! No gloves. I was shoveling snow a few years ago with shorts on. You should have seen the people staring at me. I've always been warm blooded to the max. My wife is the opposite, cold hands and feet. Happy 09 to you Miss Michigan

Thanks Doug. The funny thing is, Steve (Daytondigger) was ready to leave and he had gone to say thanks to his friend. I stayed and was digging one last hole. 4 inches down was where it was. Steve was just comming back and thats when I told him what I had found
