I took this week off so that I cold get in some last minute diggin for 2008 and hopefully reach my goal of 100 silver coins for the year, yeah I know for some of you guys that is not a lot but for me it is really a lot since I mainly relic hunt.
I had scouted out an area that I was sure would be full of CW relics. A small skirmish site is within 300 yards of this property and the original road goes right through this farm so I was sure I would hit the motherload. Today was 17 degrees early so I waited until 1:00 and it was a warm 27 degrees with a strong wind and super cold wind chill but I was going to dig.
I hit the spot and found absolutely no CW relics at all. I dug so much trash it was unbelievable but no relics at all. The property owner also gave me permission to hunt around his house which was built in 1920 so I gave up on the road bed and started looking for silver. I hit the front yard and nothing at all was there except memorial cents. I went to the back and started hitting wheats (oldest was 1910). I started to the side of the house where several big trees were at and got a great 84 VDI and up turns a silver ring, little did I know at the time it was made from a 1940 Washington, its the first coin ring I have ever seen. My find for the day was the 1914 Barber dime though.
Thanks for reading my post and be sure to watch the video. Below are my finds for the year so far - 99 silver coins, 1 flying eagle cent, 6 IH cents and several tokens and nickels.
Thanks for looking and be sure to view the video of today's hunt.
