I was looking at old maps again this week and identified 5 prospective sites in a three county area. Woke up early this morning and headed out while the dew was thick. Too early to see people out in their yards and get another permission, so I ended up going to my latest one. After digging a few targets I had a feeling that told me to hit route 20 West and check out a few of those sites. The one on my mind and in my gut is in a very small town (the firehouse/municipal building lot). On the way there I turned down a side street in another town. Ended up hunting the park and pulled $6.60 in clad. Then I continued on to the firehouse/muni bldg. Not many targets, but I did pull my 4th LC, an 1853 Braided Hair. :occasion14: I hit a couple more sites and scouted out another before heading homeward. My gut told me to go back to that park I hunted in route early. I hunted for about 45 minutes and dug $1.62 in clad and also pulled a 1954 Rosie. :thumbsup: Always follow your gut.

Some of the other finds were 2 wheats (44 & 46), a shell token, old pocket knife, 2 buttons, parts of 2 locks & a gold plated piece.

Nice hunt LD. You are so right. Sometimes or subconscious is smarter than we are, you just need to listen. Thanks for sharing.[emoji106]

Nice digs Sarge...love the LC!
 
GUTS and GLORY, where's the ram?
 
Nice job on the LC. Wonder why they holed it in the middle, usually we see them on the rim edge for stringing them. Cool just like that though.
 
Congratualtions on the multiple hunts! The large cent is a very nice find. :occasion14:
 
Congrats on the LC & Silver!

Nice pile of quarters too :thumbsup:
 
You sure do pack that bag with finds on your hunts...........nice!!!!!
 
That's one thing I've intentionally gotten better at over the years, listening to that special lil voice. The so called "gut feeling".
I figure it's how I'm being led from high above. And....He's ALWAYS right!

Excellent and successful hunt!
 
I hope you never lose that "lovin feeling". It sure works well...
 
Great story! And of course, nice finds to go with it. Congratulations!
