Crazyjarhead back with the winter blues?No way! There's silver to be found!!

Hello TNET members. Been gone since before Thanksgiving and a run to the west coast and back to Camp Lejeune NC. I guess I missed a nice cold spell in Ohio......... too bad, hugh!! Got back on Thursday, got some rest and got hold of my hunting buddy, Randy. Once the rain moved out we made plans for Sunday as the temps were in the low 50's here. But we still encountered some frozen ground from the previous freeze we had on Friday night..... 15. Anyway, we agreed to go back to a sight which had produced silver, Indians, and tons of Wheaties. He was reluctant to go because he said it was hunted out. I disagreed as no place is ever hunted out. After several hours of hunting he had found tons of clad, 3 Wheaties and other relics. I usually document my finds from the ground but due to the muddy conditions and morning showers I didn't bring it along. Did find some sweet silver, a 1945 Canadian nickle, a 1945 S war nickle, 2 silver quarters (both 1943) :icon_scratch: and 2 pretty mercs. The octagon tube thingy is ???????? Found some clad coins in the 60's and 70's , an old spoon and an old button. No idea on the age. Also a good old Pepsi bottle cap which was in fair condition. Also the picture of my rig with my wife and my friends wife, Roy. He is a retired marine with 2 tours in Vietnam. We have been good friends for 30 years, as I am an old, tired Jarhead :D Enjoy the pics and I will hunt until I can't hunt. Ron

Very nice! I believe the octagon thingy is a seal stamper thingy. Ya Know drip the wax on the paper and then stamp it. But that is just my opinion anyways, someone else may have better info. But no doubt VERY nice finds! :thumbsup:

Awesome finds and sites! The rig looks more like a luxurious motor home/detector mobile, LOL. I can't believe you don't take your detector with you, mine is always in the jeep. HH and nice post, Mike

Glad you were able to get out for a late fall hunt. Damn, it's not even officially winter yet!!!
I agree with Mike.. that looks like a wax seal. Cool!

Wow, Ron, you did Awesome!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I bet you were more than happy to get out to that spot and make all those great finds. What did your friend, Randy, say after that hunt? All hunted out? Hahahahaaa ;D

I've never dug an older canadian nickel before. I looked yours up....it's made of chrome-plated steel.

Congrats!!

He was a little surprised. I have told him before that he just doesn't concentrate in one area very long. One minute he is here then the next minute he is gone across the street. I learned on TNET. NO PLACE IS EVER HUNTED OUT. READ MY LIPS!!!!

Thanks Mike. You know, I didn't take it to California but you can believe the next time it's going. While at Camp Pendleton, Ca. I ran into 2 guys hunting on Base and I was bitting my lower lip for that. Camp Pendleton has trained millions of Marines since the early 1900's........ Damn!! My rig cost more than my house payment. They sell for 135,000. I bought it new in 2003. Thanks Mike

I agree with Bryce, No area is hunted out, everytime I think I got it all, I find something else that keeps me there for another week! Nice finds
