If You Like Crazy Bugs Look Now. First Standing Lib Of The Yr. Plus A Bunch More

JerV3 · Sep 10, 2007

Hello everyone,

Been a few weeks or so since I have posted. Haven't been hunting a whole lot this yr. Just on the weekends for a few hrs here and there. I got a little side tracked over the last month.

I had a friend in from town. He lives in FL. He can't hunt like I hunt. It's just to much on hiss back and body. So instead of leaving one another I stuck around open area's and had to try real hard to find anything.

Got alot of rare clad not shown. Tons of relics were found also. But not shown. We tested some different area's together and just had a good time getting out.

However, on one of the outings I was able to pull out a deep standing lib no date like usual quarter. I love to find these coins. Just the first one this yr. They are hard to find.

On another outing me and my son went by an old cabin site. I was able to sqeeze out three colonial flat buttons. Plus the craziest larva looking bug I ever saw.

He went into the pouch to take home for a pic. I had to get a pick of this crazy thing. It was a really big one to. Looked like a c02 cartridge for a pellet gun size wise.

I also got a really nice indian. It's a common date but the way it held up was great. In P.a they don't come out nice at all. This one was a real beauty.

Other than that I hope to get out this fall and strike a nice site somewhere.

Thanks for looking

I, too, looked just to see the crazy bug. I accidentally stepped (barefoot) on a similar looking caterpillar once, except it had longer spikes with stingers all over it. Very painful, and burned like fire! Must have been one of those Louisiana Mutant Larvae.

Nice finds!!

Thanks alot everyone for the comments.

The larva was a sick one. You don't see these every time your out. Atleast not were I am at. I assumed it was some kind of moth or butterfly larva.

I have to be honest. With the short ammount of time I have had to hunt. And as dry as the ground has been this yr. It has been hard finding old coins lately.

I'm hoping in the fall when things die down and we get some moisture finds will pick back up. Man I miss having that time to go out whenever I wanted.

But now with 3 kids it's getting tough. Atleast I am still able to get out every week.

I also noticed the natural scratches on the indian to. Someone long ago scratched something into it. To bad for the indian. It was a nice one.

I'll get another pic of the button for you guys. I don't know exactly what it says. I think something like composition double gilded. Something like that.

Thanks again for looking everyone

I cant believe how good te condition of that indian is. Looks like it was just dropped. Good job.

What do you put on your coins to make them shiny like that?

Thanks again everyone,

Here are some more pics of the items. The button is hard to read but it looks like the word composition.

Also a small sterling cuff link. Abd what I thought was a gold or platinum ring. It has no markings at all. It came out of the ground shiny. It read a solid plus 31 on the dfx. That is the gold range.

Unless the ring is made of aluminum. The metal is very soft what ever it is. I found it 5 ft from a 1892 V-nickle. Any thoughts on it everyone.

Thanks again,

HH Jer

Nice stuff Jeremy. Those SLQ's are fun to find - even without a date. The 1900 IH is sweet.

Other stuff cool as usual.
