Last minute decision leads to 2 hr hunt full of great finds!

[cjon455]

Hey guys, as some of you may know, I had a death in the family yesterday, my uncle, 59, passed away following a brief battle with complications of an aneurysm at his brain stem, complicated from a fall. Its been a tough 2 days around here, in 36 yrs I have never seen my father cry until yesterday. my wife took my sons to a movie and I just felt like staying home. I had intentions on hunting with OldDude today before all this happened so those plans got cancelled yesterday morning when I learned of his passing. So I was sitting around the house going stir crazy and decided on a whim and last minute decision to take a very short drive to a home I tried to get permission at earlier this year, finally caught someone home. Nice older farmer who told me to go right ahead. It was full of iron but still managed some pretty darn good finds, 3 indian heads, 1 1837 Large Cent, 8 wheats, a toasted shield nickel, a 1944 farthing with 2 holes in it, 2 rings, (1 junk, 1 sterling) and a neat Fob that says "Panama Pacific Exposition San Fransisco 1915", plus my favorite find of the day a 1890 Seated Dime! only my 2nd seated ever! It was nice to just put the headphones on and kinda zone out for a while, and the great finds made it that much better. Thanks for looking and hh.



I hope we get back out next week, OldDude and I have "scouted" out a nearby town that looks pretty nice, hopefully we hit it big there! almost forgot this nice little crotal/petal bell

That is one great outing worth of finds. I really like the fob, crotal bell, Large Cent, & Seated.

My condolences on your loss Chris.

Very nice selection of finds my man. Seated, IHCs, shield, LC, fob, ring.... dang man...

Great finds...Congrats and Condolences both. One of the great thing about metal detecting (for me anyway), is that it does help me take my mind off of the "heavy" stuff.

Sorry for your loss. Looks like the distraction gods were in your corner to finally find someone home, get permission and dig a lot of great stuff!

Sorry to hear about your uncle, but I'm glad you were able to get out and help clear your mind a bit after what you've been having to deal with. And it looks like your hunt probably brought a smile or two to help brighten your day. Very nice digs, and hang in there man.

 

[Old Dude]

I am sorry again about your uncle Chris. I am sure seeing your dad like that was very tough.

Sorry to read of your uncle passing.
Lots of goodies recovered.
Miniature tin snips are interesting, as are other finds..
No favorite to pick for me; but one could remind you of the time of year and it's goins ons, down the road maybe.

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Our prayers for you and your family.
A little alone time and treasure comforts, good call. Nice seated! Those tiny shears are probably a game piece.
I'm a little jealous your LC has a readable date.

Hope you guys and OD have an awesome hunt and make some Banner finds!
