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!!

Couple surface finds . 2 dimes, 2 nickels, and a penny. Someone must have lost it while changing a flat.

that's okay. I was thinking of seeding their spot with nickels and bubble gum jewelry. All while capturing their mad facial expressions on a trail cam.

Hmmm...did you know electrical box knockouts could be mistaken for a flat button or LC

Use war nickels, lol!!!

Hey, now you're getting personal

 

[Old Dude]

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

Abe, speaking of generous...the fellow who owns the first site we stopped at was unbelievable! Not only did he offer his entire property to us, he asked if we were thirsty after returning home once and then after I asked him about any old dwellings/buildings on the property, he pointed out where a 1700's house and barn once stood. Chris made the comment about it being a ways back, and he says " Man, I wish my quads were here. You guys could take them back there and check it out! ".

That was pretty funny when you asked me why I was yelling at you...but then, so was " hillbilly hands ". I felt like Abe or Treblehunter with their " hand model " hands
