Well guys great day for me. Stay up all night doing work I’m a loan officer who works from home (perfect job for a detectorist and a insomniac) so I left my house at 5am knowing that sunrise wasn’t till 653 with an hour drive but with the Max I have a light I thought I’d try it out, plus I can’t sit still at home and the wife’s a late sleeper, so I’m off. I looked up some old photos of City Park and I saw where there were people taking photos at this particular spot by a tree. I recognize the spot but not the tree the tree wasn’t there anymore due to the hurricane in the late 50s. So I went to that spot and notice the indention and started swinging. It yielded me some green Wheats a 1915 D, a 1917 S, a 1919 and a 1919 S and 1 unidentifiable and a 1904 V nickel!! By now it a hour to get home and I’m exhausted so off I’m dreaming about getting in my bed when I thought of your mind as well go check out that spot that I found my barber dime and that nickel spill. Exhaustion lost and curiosity (greed) won. I found a INDIAN SPILL!!! A foot away from where I found the Barber dime I found 2 Indians!! Unbelievable I’ve only found two other Indians and that was 2 years ago. It was worse than my silver drought. I DID IT!!!! Thank you guys for giving me the opportunity to gloat and now I must go to bed with happy thoughts Thank you! What a day I was blessed.

Oh I almost forgot I found some teeth lol IMG_1254.JPG IMG_1255.JPG IMG_1259.JPG IMG_1258.JPG IMG_0002.JPG IMG_1261.JPG IMG_1262.JPG IMG_1263.JPG IMG_1264.JPG

Underwriter you poor man! You got to deal with all those whiny loan officers. Remember Subprime wasn’t that the Wild Wild West. Lol Yes we need a lot of peace and downtime in our life.

SD51 I don’t know what going on. I’m a park hunter 98% of the time unfortunately until I can get the nerve to door knock. It’s hell at the parks, but I’ve been killing it lately. Trying to finish out hard before the year is over. I’m smoking last years tally so far.

It sure did Rooster I was a aha moment. I felt very smart at the time. I think those crime detective shows are rubbing off on noticing details. Lol
