Buckleboy, Hill Billy, and myself went for a walk back in time Sunday in an area that Hill Billy was kind enough to take us to so we could see if maybe something was there. First off I heard a loud POP noise and seen my coil mount had broken and it was swinging in the breeze. Yes Whites strikes again! 
Hey its 10 years old so Im not to upset about it. We went to a local gas station and I got some duct tape and was back in business! Yet another use for duct tape see pictures below. I got a few wheats and Hill Billy got a silver charm and then went to his next spot. When I say we were in the middle of no where that is an understatement! Miles back into the woods up one hill then down another to a site where he had a "good" feeling about. I hunted for sometime with notta hit and he yells for me to come to the top of the hill and I did with my duct taped machine and got a hit that was loud and read 88-90 on the XLT. I thought it would be a beer can until I pinpointed it and could tell it was coin sized and about 4 inches. For us XLT users that will get the heart beating fast. I dug and could not believe what I had! A large cent! My eyes are so bad I could not see the date or details but Buckleboy quickly did a field analysis and said 1828 large cent. I could not believe it! All the way out there in the middle of the woods was a large penny that has been waiting for me to dig it up for God only knows how many years. I have found a few in the past but this is the first one from Kentucky. I can now mark that one off my list.
Oh the mad wife. Hillbilly and BB kept me out to late and when I got home she had a fit. I got a picture of the coin, broken machine, and tried to get a picture of her while mad but she gave me that look. All you guys that have been in trouble know the "look" Im talking about. I told her there was no film in the camera so she lightened up. (the camera is digital)
HB and BB you two are on her you know what list! BB I think you have got your last plate of biscuits and gravy from her. Yes she was that mad!
Thanks HB for a wonderful day and the invite down. It was great just to get out and to get a LC made it even better. Once again thanks!
