FIRST TARGET OF THE DAY

[JUNKYARD DOG]

I FOUND THESE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I JUST FIGURED OUT HOW TO POST THE PICTURES. I ASKED AND RECIEVED PERMISSION TO DETECT A FIELD ACROSS THE ROAD FROM A FAIR GROUNDS THAT THEY BRUSHED HOGED TO HAVE MOR PARKING FOR THE FAIR. GOT OUT OF MY CAR TURNED ON MY DFX WALKED TEN FEET OUT IN THE FIELD A BANG, I THOUGHT FOR SURE IT WAS GOING TO BE A BEER CAN, I HAVE DUG A BUNCH IN THE FAIR GROUNDS BEFORE AND I ALMOST DIDN'T DIG THIS, MY FIRST BELT BUCKLE, I ALMOST RAN THE FOUR BLOCKS HOME TO SHOW MY WIFE I WAS SO EXCITED. IT WAS ABOUT 6 INCHES UNDER. LATER I FOUND THE MINI, I HOPE IT IS A FRENCH TRIANGLE XTRA HIGH BASE, ANY HELP ON IDing WOULD BE GREAT. I HAVE WENT BACK TWICE WITH MY WIFE AND FOUND A POCKET SPILL OF 6 WHEATIES A GOOD FOR 10 CHICKENS TOKEN, A FEW OTHER DONTKNOWS. MY WIFE FOUND A NICE 1889 IH. PLAN ON HITTING THIS FIELD A BUNCH. DURRING THE CW THEY CAMPED ON THIS FAIRGROUNDS/TOWN SQUARE AND THE SURROUNDING COUPLE OF BLOCKS. I USED A 69 CAL 3 RINGER FOR COMPARISON. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HH.

Should be "Lucky Dog" instead of Junkyard Dog! That is awesome! I would've run the four blocks too! Man, you must have been freakin' out! Congrats on a "most historic" find!

By the way - love your e-mail address - I'm pretty sure I can guess what it means (and that is truly original)!

Truly nice finds, cool.

I've only been detecting a little less than 2 months, but about 21/2 weeks ago my first dug coin was 1917 merc. And last wednsday my only dug hole, due to bad weather, was a 57' rosie. Its always nice to get something good right off the bat, sure charges you up.

Good luck,
HH.

Only someone who has dug a plate can understand the high you get when you finally dig one. And I will tell you, that .69 cal French triangle base is a darn good and fairly rare find. You did good on that spot. Now go get the breast plate. Good luck.
