Hit The Silver Trifecta on a killer hunt with OldDude Today!!!

[cjon455]

Hey guys, got out with Dave again today for what we thought may be a marathon day of permission seeking, 1st house we knocked on we got a yes, we almost drove away until we saw the guy come to the door, real nice guy who gave us rockstar access to the property, a very big property! He mentioned in the one corner of his property sat a 17-1800s home and barn so yeah we will be searching for that baby in the near future!

I started off a bit slower than dave, he nailed a good wheat spill with a little silver as the icing on the cake!, few minutes later he shows me this big honking 10K class ring from 1970, I was shocked at how heavy it is!!

finally I hit my 1st wheat about 1.5 hrs into the hunt, then rescanned and wheat 2, then again and number 3, then 4 and 5, I was happy with a 5 wheat spill!!
about half hour later I got a nice high tone, and about 5-6 inches down got the 46 roosie!, stood up, rescanned w the etrac and another high tone!!

no say it aint so!, a silver spill!!! 1937 Merc!!

managed a few more wheats and this cool suspenders clip w a patent date of 1856 at about 2 inches down!, also got a nice little pile of clad before we left to go search for another site, we were looking for a while and I remembered we weren't that far from a place where I snagged a Cent Trifecta last year so we gave it a whirl. Hardly any targets here but I did manage a faint squeaker at about 8 inches down 1902 O Barber Dime!!! First ever silver trifecta complete!! I cant believe I got a O mintmark!!, only managed 1 more wheat there and the usual trash.

This is where the story gets cool. I remembered that large cent from last year and mentioned to the owner that I want to mail it to him since I found it on his property, im mailing it because hes so far from my house, he gladly gave me his address and seemed very happy to have it so its going in the mail tomorrow morning! we got to chatting about detecting and the guy brings out some of his finds from over 30 years ago, a 1927 English penny and this sucker!!, man I never thought id hold one of these!, I asked the guy if he realized how significant that was and he was like "ehh" lol!! funny that he found it very close to where I found my civil war Eagle "I" button a few weeks ago!, however I would have NEVER cleaned it, but it is still pretty darn sweet!


So we left after that and we both killed it today with finds, all in all a GREAT hunt, cant wait to get back out!
Thanks for looking and hh!!

Hit The Silver Trifecta ok a killer hunt with OldDude Today!!!

I think we both had a good day. Best thing though is the new permission that may give us a 1700's house and barn! You nailed that trifecta down with authority. If you don't mind, I will add another pic from that last place.

Thanks JC, I didn't think id ever get a O mintmark up here lol!

Thanks Pepper, it was one of our better ones in a while, plus we likely have access to an old
homestead that sits on the property, that's the real find for me

 

[deershed]

You guys both killed it today!!

A BIG Congrats on the dime trifecta!! I had my best chance at one and couldn't find a Rosie. It's not like I have to many Barbers (2) to my credit so it might be awhile before I get a dime trifecta.
A Sweet wheat spill too.

That's a great looking Barber buddy. I truly hope you guys get into some colonial stuff on that property. I know digging and silvers is awesome but the feeling of pulling out 250 year old coins and relics is pretty hard to describe if you love this stuff like we do. It's just a whole different ball game knowing that the next high tone could be a shoe buckle or a GW or a Spanish silver. Good luck fellas. I'm rooting for you boys

Thanks abe! Im optimistic on the site, well see, and yeah I know what ya mean about the colonial stuff, todays finds were great and all but I really want that old old stuff, the colonial goods!! Last year on a few hunts with George I was literally frantic at times because each target had the potential to be WAY older than anything im capable of finding back home, Were hoping to hit it next week I think!

 

[Old Dude]

Abe, we are really hoping to get Nepa-Will on this site. He has been a huge help and very generous with his sites. He's yet to find an LC or a flat button he says, so Chris and I are on a mission! We should be able to do both there.

The dime trifecta is still on my list. I have come close. Seems like I can get a Rosy and a Mercury and then go back to the same place later and find a Barber, but not all at one time.

 

[l2hunt]

now that's one helleva day brother!!

 

[Rick (Nova Scotia)]

Really good finds, and no I don't care about the ring, (even though I've not found a gold(class ring) one yet) as you never mentioned finding the owner.
Seems like like you had a FABLULOUS day.
Gotta love nice property owners.
I'm hoping to find one tomorrow.

 

[OBN]

I would say a Banner day..Nice Gold! nd Silvers!!

That cool guys. Share with the people that have been generous with you. That kind of thinking will result in some real good karma. I'll be waiting to see

Thanks! the closest ive come to a trifecta was last year around the same time, I got 2 barbers and a seated, no roosie or merc though

Thanks Abe!, we have been lacking in sites that we were able to go to time and time again, now that we have finally found one, especially one with the potential this one may have, its an obvious decision to pay it forward to will, like dave said, hes helped both of us w/ research and even brought us to a honeyhole site of his!

 

[Nepa-Will]

Awesome hunt and Congrats on your first "O" mint! You guys had a killer day. Oh yeah. I forgot to thank you for rubbing it in with the pic texts while I was broke down on the side of the highway.
