ITS NOT QUANTITY BUT QUALITY RIGHT? and a first for me...

Small Story...
Today I went to a hunted out spot Johnymc had told me about, I was not real sure of the exact spot but I knew the lactation.
So into the woods I went, made a right and began walking, looking for a sign of recent activity. after an hour of bug, mosquito, tick, and sticker bush infested wood I made an executive decision and I turned around to go back. on the way back I did a little swinging when I could move the coil more than a foot or two.. Surprisingly I got a quarter signal, dug it and out pops a 44 silver 25 cent. (In the middle of the woods) I got back to where I entered the woods and decided to go the other direction when tadaa there is the spot. I detected about an hour and getting ready to leave when I move part of an old tree and swing over the area, I get a silver signal at 2" I dig it and out pops that beautiful 1862 silver three cent. At first I did not even know what it was, flipped it over and saw the (III) yea baby...

Thanks for reading my story and looking...H.H. TnT..

Wow!!! Very nice, WTG!!!
Love that 3 cent piece, totally awesome...
I have been wanting to hit some woods myself. Most of my hunting areas have been hit pretty hard and the finds are getting very scarce. Maybe sometime this winter, as the woods do look a little mean at the moment...
Continued Good luck, & Happy hunting~

Wow, nice looking coins. A Three center is on my list to find.

 

[Ole Mole]

What a sweeeeet find you have there. Just goes to show that places are never hunted out. Your persistence paid off. If I were you I would hit the area hard.

Good Luck and I like the 3 center.
