Hunch Site Pays Off!

[Hill Billy]

Well today I met with KFB to rehunt the half cent site I discovered last week. We started swinging and things were looking grim. We were not finding anything that would leave us to believe we were on an old homesite. the stoneware laid about but the ground giveth nothing. After about an hour or so we were getting discouraged. I couldn't believe that a half cent was the only thing there. KFB called me over and said the ground was full of iron were he was hunting. I walked down the hill a ways from him and hit a flat button, and another and another. He came down and dug a flat button and I said we finally found the site.
We carried on for a bit and boom! I hit a LC. Blood started pumping then.
Then more flat buttons came. I started to walk out of the iron patch and was rewarded with a nice seated dime.
A little more time went by when tom yells , I got a LC.
Shortly there after he dug a Jews Harp
We kept swinging and found some more flat buttons and that was it. We called it a day and headed for home. Was good to get out and swing with my old hunting buddy. It had been a long time and I was glad to see him kick some butt with the XLT he bought that was growing dust. Good day for the Iron Brigade.

HB, I'm glad you got Tom out of the shop to hunt today. You guys NAILED the old homesite. The soil there looks as if it was kind to coins and relics. WTG and I'm waiting to see Tom's post. HH, Quindy.
