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

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
It's all abount swinging angles, soil conditions just to start. If I git a good beep, I'll start working the area in a circle and go from there.

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!!

Thanks Dan. That explains the rust. I couldn't quite figure it out until you told me

Congratulations, you are a skilled detectorist. That place was wall to wall trash readings when I was there with you. And after listening to the audio responses coming from your Ace, I can only say, You Da Man! I got out for a couple hours today, but only found some wheats from the teens on up and some clad. I about froze as the temps started dropping and the wind was kicking.

Thanks DD. I've got to know it pretty good. My friend Randy has tried 5 detectors around there and I smoke him everytime. He just needs a lot more patience and swing time.

Looks like you had a good day detecting with all that silver.
I went with a friend in a big rig once and he let me drive on the way home.I did ok untill we started up a hill and he keep telling me how to downshift and said to pull over.I would not want that job but I know a few truckers that do.Good luck detecting.

Takes some time behind the wheel. I started to get my experience in the Corps in 1976. I kept on upgrading my license then got into heavy haul. Now, 33 years later a a few miles under my belt I drive it better than my car. I'm at 73 feet. Turn corners like nothing. Thanks RD HH and Happy Holidays. The best for 09 Ron

Ron,
Awesome finds big guy! :thumbsup: Congrats on all the silver including that LARGE silver you & the young ladies are standing in front of. ;D :wink: Sweet. :icon_king:
I was up in Northern Indiana freezing my buttocks off on Friday (about 12 degrees that night), then drove back Sat. to NC to 60 degree weather. Can you believe I went out detecting at lunch today and was sweating, AND there were some mosquitoes buzzing me!!! I can't believe it's December. Crazy weather. :tongue3:
Off to go read your other post now. :thumbsup:
