First Keeper's for 2009 with Character....

Hello Everyone,

The ground around here has finally thawed and most the mud has dried up the last few days, and today. My machine is still at Whites getting fixed but my friend let me use his back up machine, another whites. I was not expecting to find anything at all.

I was thinking we have hunted this place to death and nothing is left. This is the Hunted out Ballfield in my hometown. Lots of people including my friend and I have hunted this old Schoolyard/BallField.

I was going to dig every signal I got and I was not going to care if I did not find anything. I was going to be happy I was hunting for the first time in months. So hunting along for about two hours not finding anything but clad and trash.

I did get a good signal a little later. Some kind of dollhouse piece it has a picture of a Castle on it and a threaded back. I think It fit on a dollhouse of some kind. If anyone has some info do tell. We move to the back and to the side of the field I soon get a good 18+ signal I'm hoping for a ring expecting a pulltab and... What I least expected was a buffalo nickle I later found out was a 1926 Sweet....!!!! The nickle has some strange corrosion on it flaking some of the image giving it a little Character. Uncovering a pale red color coin a color I hate. I did not clean it at all other than a few thumb rubs.

So I am very happy with my first hunt of the year. This I presume shows good promise for the season ahead. I hope everyone else who has been snowed in got the chance to hunt. Finding something that makes them feel happy.

Here are some pictures of my keeper's please enjoy!

Keep @ it and HH!!

Re: First Keeper's for 2009 with Character....

Congratulations on the finds, that button is the first one I've seen on here like that!
 
Re: First Keeper's for 2009 with Character....

Very nice keepers!
 
Re: First Keeper's for 2009 with Character....

WTG, Mud!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: That pin is cool! Nice buffalo, too! Are you going to clean it so it turns grey since you hate red?

Sorry the machine is in the shop, but it's nice having friends that can help you out in a time of need! :thumbsup:
 
Re: First Keeper's for 2009 with Character....

Nice buffalo and button. Congrats :thumbsup:
 
Re: First Keeper's for 2009 with Character....

Yep, the poor boys machine has been at the shop so long he almost forgets what it looks like, thats pretty funny how your dollhouse peice turned out to be an Engineer Insignia :thumbsup: Im glad you were able to pull some keepers out with my old whites, last year at that same ballfield that machine pulled two Vs out of there for my last hunt of the season. But it was my Fisher that scored me a gold ring there for this years first hunt. Hope your machine comes back soon so you can get that new probe dirty, lol.

Congrats on having an enjoyable hunt! I hate the red color of the old nickels too but it looks like there's some decent detail underneath that layer of dirt flaking off....anyway hope you get out again soon, HH!
 
Re: First Keeper's for 2009 with Character....

Wow everyone !

Thanks for the kind remarks and the ID on the Dollhouse piece, :D Lol Dollhouse piece I'm such a jackass... :tard: :tongue3: Well I'm happy it is something cooler than a dollhouse piece. I don't dare clean the buffalo or put water to it. Cause I am 98.7% positive the whole coin will flake more and all turn red as soon as I do.

Thanks again
Everyone take care.
