I had a dream coin hunt today, 2nd best in my 11 years of hunting.

[Deno]

Me and the two Jim's got out to a old site today. The very first signal was the 1839 Seated half dime. I was ready to quit and go home. About five or ten minutes later I got the 1825 Liberty Cap dime. Next thing I know Weaver found a large cent. We are thinking what the heck, about a hour or so later I found the CAROLUS.III Real, then Weaver found another large cent. Poor old Armstrong, he got skunked, he only found a few buttons. I can rib him like that because him and Weaver have spanked my butt for as long as I can remember. Weaver's picture taking abilities aren't that good, I am a whole lot better looking than that.

I forgot to tell you guys about this, I may owe this hunt to KY Shooter and the man upstairs. I read shooters
story about saying a prayer before every hunt and I thought what the heck, It's going to be part of the plan
from now on.

Very nice old silvers.

Congrats, I'd be back out there combing that field to death.

Re: Awsome!

That is so frigging cool what you found! Finding old silver like that almost puts me in a delirium.

Re Flat buttons: Recently I have expanded my displays by cleaning and researching backmarks on flat buttons. The quality and surprising gilt left on the backside of some flat buttons is likely due to the fact that side of the button had little surface wear. I research the backmark and print the info out on a little piece of paper that goes in the bottom of the button holder and I display the button backside showing. Same same with unusual maker designs/mo-tiffs. The rest of the flat buttons I display in a large antique glass top mason jar.

That sounds to cool, I have box's of stuff in the garage that i have been saying for years I was going to
clean up and make a display out of. I know I have to have hundred's of buttons and your idea may just
motivate me to get started. Thanks Digger.

just an incredible day Wish these type posts would make the banner!!

I agree with Jeff. This would be a banner day in my book.
Congrats Deno to you and the Ky boys. Amazing amount of nice recoveries out of that field.
Isn't it a great feeling scoring something good right from the start.

MM, I have said it before there is no rhyme or reason to this hobby. Last year I didn't get to
detect much but I am making up for it now, we are on a hot streak, I just hope it goes on
for a little longer. I have had dry spells that would last for months. It was unreal to have
2 nice old American silvers in my pocket in the first 20 minutes or so. The half dime on the
first hole was something I could get use to. And then to top it off with the Real was just
unreal. I love this great hobby. I just hope the owners let us come back after showing them
all of our finds. That was their one stipulation. Without their kindness we wouldn't have had
this great day.

Deno,
Be sure to give them some relics to keep. It will go a long way in showing what a great person you are. I usually make the owners a relic shadowbox if I find enough goodies.
Good luck,
MM

Armstrong had suggested the same thing. We will give them anything they want, I did tell them we like to get to keep the coins. Without them none of this would have been possible. We are always honest with the people and my buddie Weaver has had to give up some really nice coins and finds over the years. Now we always tell them up front that we would like to keep the coins. I would really like to find a nice relic that has something to do with this amazing property to give to them, I would love to tell you guys about the history of this place but I can't do that to the owners. It's all in the history books. Thanks MM.

Nice hunt, but I think the Man in the Sky has more important issues than to grant you a wish like a genie.

I would tend to agree with you if it weren't for the results.

I have a felling he may be able to multitask.

GREAT finds and GREAT story! Congratulations....BUT...are you surrrrrrrre you're much better looking then that photo? I don't know, it looks pretty clear to me.

You may need some new glasses. Trust me, I am way better looking than that.
Weaver just can't take a decent picture.

first i have not been on for soooooooo long i had to redo everything....now i don't mind taking a spanking once in a while which is well deserved, but when he talked about my picture taking abilities and that he was better looking then the picture well he just went to far. so i had to say what i had to say is that the picture does him Justus because most people are looking to see whats in his hands......just messing with ya Deno you made some great finds with bragging rights. if i figure out how to get a pic of the large cents on here i will send them to ya, the 1833 cent is xf-40 maybe better you can judge when i get it to ya or I'll just bring it to work may be easier for me...lol
