Here's what I brought home from Saturday's "seeded" club hunt
I went to the annual Middle Tennessee Metal Detecting Club event last Saturday at the Gallatin Civic Center in Gallatin, Tennessee. The weather could not have been nicer. The ground was quite dry though. This was my first "seeded" hunt ever. What a great time everyone had. We had a picnic as well. There was was more food than I have ever seen at any family reunion. ALL GOOD! Our first hunt was an all silver hunt. I found the two silver Franklin halves and most of the silver Roosevelts and a silver quarter or two. the second hunt was for older coins. That's where I got all of those Mercury dimes, the nickles, the IH pennies and another silver quarter. I had eight Mercury dimes but I gave one to my Mom. It was a 1934, the year of her birth. The third hunt was a poker run. We broke off into teams of five and one by one hunted for a playing card wrapped around a silver dime. Whichever team had the best hand won silver dollars. We came in fourth and I won a 1968 Kennedy half dollar. The final hunt was for tokens, relics, non-valuable jewelry and buttons. With my tokens I won a one Troy Ounce Liberty Mint .999+ silver coin and a book about Southern Cavalry General Nathan Bedford Forrest. Well worth the $25.00 entry fee.

A really nice collection of goodies. Well worth the entry fee.
