FINALLY found one!!!! Tiny bucketlister!!

[BladeRunner2019]

Hi all! (Is my title clickbait-ish enough?)

Got out on a hunt yesterdday with the_mad_cladder and wv1978. There were several spots within a few hundred yards of each other. At the first spot I found the Cub scouts sterling ring. My first scout ring.

After a bit of a dry spell I walked across the street and found only my third SLQ. It's in decent shape but still doesn't have a date.

We then went to the area where mad_cladder found his seated half the day before. I found the toasty buffalo first and a little while later the silver Washington. Not too far from the Washington I got a 70's signal on the Deus and when I pulled a clump of clay out I noticed the small silver rim sticking out. I had an idea it might be a Trime, but I had been burned by those play money pieces before. As I pulled the clumped apart we noticed it had been gouged. Later I would find it was gouged on both sides. I didn't hit it with my digger. The only thing I can think of is when I pried the dirt/clay, it compressed on the coin and scratched it. That's a bummer, but at least I didn't hit it with my digger. It's pretty slick so I wasn't able to get a date off it. It's my first and probably last trime, but at least I finally found one!

The scratches are new. I tried to make then look as good as possible in the pic. lol I'm pretty sure if my digger had hit it, the scratches would have been a lot bigger or it would have broke it.

I also found some buckles and possibly a spur rowel. It's doesn't seem heavy duty enough so maybe it was from a toy spur?

Group shot. Big thanks to T_M_C for taking us to the spot!

Congrats on your first Trime. I like the Cub Scout ring also. Both of those are still on my bucket list. That's a nice group of finds.

Congrats on the trime. That’s a tough one to find..

Looks like you are on a roll.

Thanks man. Where have you been? Heat been keeping you indoors?

Dude that’s an awesome find. I am just as excited as you are. Bladerunner carries this plug over to me when he removed it y’all. The edge was showing and it looked silver but we actually spent a min debating what it was before he pulled it. The mark on it was fresh but had to be from a tiny rock up next to it or something. Crazy tender coin.

Kinda also confirms that half I found was not a fluke or a newer drop. When all that drama is over and we get the entire permission back... it is on. That place is special. That trime is an awesome freaking coin man. Epic bucklister for sure. I would normally be a little jelly. You do need to change your handle to “ the silver vacuum though....for realz. Lol

After looking at the maps with my dad, we figured out great grandmother actually lived at the lot Wv1978 was at before we left. I thought it was down the road but I was like 9 when she passed. Then my dad says, “ yeah I used to rent the house up on the hill across the street”! That’s the honey hole! Nuts man. We have found seated stuff at 2 of my dads old homes now. The first was at the end of that dirt road were you dug the Rosie then the seated dime. Wild stuff.

I know I told you bladerunner2019 but for others: the trime is so freakishly thin when they stamped it on each side some of each sides image can be seen on the other side. They are like paper thin.

Thanks man! You had to talk me off the ledge when I saw it had been damaged. lol At least I know it wasn't my digger that did it. I'm just glad it didn't snap in two they are so thin. I honestly never thought I would get one so I am super thrilled. Hopefully we'll get permission for the rest of it soon. And you don't need to be jelly with that seated half you pulled from there. Thanks again for taking us over there.

Awesome finds that BSA ring dates around 1910 I found one about 10 years ago..

Wow! They are that old? I was thinking 40's or 50's. Thanks!

Does you SLQ have any stars under the eagle? If not, it's an early one. Gary

It does have the stars. I think that means it's a type 2.
