I Haven't heard the fat lady Sing Yet!! Seated Half!!

Received permission today for a new field. Not as old as I would like, house on the property is from 1860s.
Was hoping to find older settlement on the fields. But couldn't come up with any signs.
Here is a funny story. So there is a old big pond on this property, by the house. They just drained the pond and getting ready to fill it in. Sooo I thought why dont I see if there any goodies in there before they fill it.
Its dry, at least I thought so. I take 2 steps in and boom, I sink all the way down to my crotch and cant move..
I toss my detector up to dry land and im thinking oh sh-- what now.
I can see the lady about 100yards away and start yelling HELLO!!! HELLO!!! she sees me and starts running. Her and her daughter.
Well im pretty embarrassed at this point, so I say boy what I will do for a BUCKLE..lol.
They start laughing.
They grab my shovel hand it to me and start pulling me out..
Wow, that was the most smelling crap I have ever smelled..lol
So you see my find for the day, and I also got Swamp Butt!!! Sorry for the long story. Just goes to show what we do for Buttons and buckles and seated half dollars..
Thanks for listening.
George.

I see Abe didn't distribute the mojo equally this year but maybe there's hope for 2016. Lol.

That said, you're killing it bud and now it's my turn to say, "You're da man!"

I enjoy watching your luck, but them Eagles...meh...


Cheers bud

When I didn't see the pictures at first,, I thought you were referring to your bottom being the Seated Half.
Sure glad you managed to get some help. Beautiful Seated Half. Congrats

 

[Patriot Relics]

Nice to see the season is still alive up there George, beauty of a coin

 

[Nepa-Will]

Really nice Seated half. Great story. Too bad you didn't get them to get a quick photo of you. Nice job on the other finds too!

 

[Vino]

You certainly set the bar very high for consistently making top notch finds! Congrats again on a sweet seated half.

Only fifteen and a half weeks to go buddy! Then I'll show you how to dig Celtic gold and hammered silver!

Thanks Mike,
And I sure hope so!
Can you imagine flipping a plug and seeing 1000s year old gold coin staring back at us

 

[terpfan]

George, your finds and your adventures are both first-rate. Keep 'em coming!

Been there Done that , Can be scary., Did you get your Boots /Shoes Back.

I would have went through that for the Seated Half , & likely just for the Dime.

Lol, yes thank God I wear logging boots that go up to my calf..

 

[EasternShoreMetal]

I think it was a pretty fair trade. I'd take the soaked embarrassment for the seated half. Congrats!

 

[JeffInMass]

That's some serious effort for those beauties- congrats!!

Nice Seated. That's some pretty funny stuff. If only you had your video camera. That would have made for a great detecting video.
Id take swamp butt for a seated half any day. ive actually had similar instances with much less to show for it.
Glad to see youre still able to make some nice finds and the cold weather hasn't shut you down yet.
Was nice today. Jeans and a t-shirt. Almost sent you a text today, but figured you probably didn't want to see #7.
HH Swamp donk.

 

[Brother Al]

So, your half got seated? I'm confused?

Congrats on the great looking silvers.

All I can say is that it's a surreal moment in life and one that you'll always remember, even flipping the plug and seeing a silver that's hundreds of years older then what's possible here is a total rush.
