Last few hunts - 06/15

[Michiganne]

Hey all,
May arrives and I always get crazy busy with wrapping up school, planting the garden, took a short family trip and another HS'r graduating this year plus figuring out colleges for next year. Anyhow, I've sneaked a couple hunts in the past few weeks, nothing earth shattering.

Did a fun group hunt with Mike from MI and other friends from the club. A couple wheats to show but we decided the fellowship was the best treasure.


Started a new yard, former centennial farm. One short evening hunt and one longer day hunt has yielded only wheats and a bicentennial Half Dollar, which was a first. Where is the silver? Found a bike name plate, not too old. Tons of Mason jar lids everywhere but alas, none with caches attached.


My favorite find was this decorative piece, probably off furniture. I also had to chuckle over the plastic binoculars eyeballed on the edge of a garden, since I am also a birder and have been doing more of that this year.


Happy Father's Day to all you dads!

Thanks for looking.
HH,
Michiganne

Nice going. Bet ya had fun too!

Nice digs Anne! That ornate piece with the flower is really cool . Love digging stuff like that. I know what you mean and how frustrating it can be when you think you are in a killer yard and it is one Mason jar lid after another.
Glad ya got out - HH

Great haul you got there Anne I know what you mean about the mason jar lids, it's been a long time since I've found one attached to the jar.

I'm happy for you that you were able to get out. Sounds like you have a lot going on. Sometimes just getting out and doing what we love is good enough to bring the scale back to a more balanced position. I too enjoy finding the ornate pieces from the late Victorian period. Very nice finds Anne

Precisely! And it was a gorgeous day last Friday to be out for a couple hours, just me and the Explorer.
I didn't mean to sound whiny....

Any time getting out is a good time , especially when you make some good finds and those are some good ones !

I've found two attached to half a jar or less...no coins in the hole. Very frustrating.

GIANT 56...did you find a cache before?

Great finds Anne, glad you could get out, and those Kennedy halves sure aren't common - congrats!

Anne great to see you found some time to get out! I know all too well about the crazy busy schedules, it's a sacrifice to put priorities over this awesome hobby. Glad you got out and found some keepers though. Love that ornate furniture piece and it's always cool to dig a clad half they don't come up often. Hope you find some silver or even better on your return, HH
