Iron Brigade:Carson City Seated Silver

[Hill Billy]

Today was one of those days.Don't know where my luck came from today but I'll take it.I met up with Buckleboy and Rodeo for a Iron Brigade hunt.After last weeks killer finds I didn't think that things could get better... but they did. We did a little door knocking and got a no right off the bat. :P We then drove to a little spot that Buckle Boy hadn't given much thought to , turns out he led me to the Honey Hole.We got permission to hunt an old house site that we weren't sure about but thought lets give it a try.I turned on the machine and we all took off in the same direction.My first target was a brass lock.It says Tower&Lyon,N.Y..
I then moved on another 20 feet or so and hit a good target.Opened up the hole an out pops a 1841 large cent.OK now I'm on cloud 9.My first large cent.We did some high fives and carried on.A little while passes and BB is checking out a find with Rodeo when all of the sudden I got another good signal and Boom, a 1877 CC Seated Dime.Whoo hoo I'm now dancing with the stars. .We all three sat and thought about the Lucky horseshoe I had stuffed up my you know where.Three killer finds in less than an hour.This sites finds were thin.We carried on for a while longer and then I got my fourth find of the day.A nice Eagle button.My second in a week.Today was one of those days.I don't think I could top it again.
BuckleBoy ,once again an awsome hunt with you and Rodeo.Lets do it again soon.

Well... If he brings his Fisher too, then neither one of us will find a damned thing due to the feedback. LOL.

That's awesome! CC's don't turn up at the end of a digger too often, from what I've seen.

Thanks Jerry, what a day it was.

Wow. Finding a large cent or a seated silver coin would certainly be the biggest moment of my detecting career. There aren't many of either over here. Nice digs!

Joe

Just keep hunting , you will find one eventually.

Way to go HB you have some great finds there. Now you have a bar to top every time out and will be waiting for the post that beats it. The pictures are excellent fine post. Congratulations big time.

Later Jim

Jimmy, long time no hear.I'm sure there will be another day like this one.Hopefully soon. thanksHB

HB,
What a fantastic day in the field. Congrats to you on your first LC (w/date too) and that CC dime.
I'd have a smile from ear to ear with a day like that.
Great photos of the day too.
