Got out today for what is probably my final hunt before Christmas. Busy, busy, busy, you know.
Plan A had gone out the window before we even got into the truck. Plan B...go find the site where a relocated log cabin use to be. Get close to the site, walk what seems like miles (500 yards maybe...but it was uphill all the way...and back
) to the hidden pasture, only to see that it apparently hadn't been cut or used in the fours years it had been since I had been there last. :P OK..not much swinging going on here, so we walk to the next site. On our way there, I was telling Lisa that this was the site where I had found my first Indian cent. Was a 1904. Spent maybe a half an hour there. It hadn't been cut either and there weren't that many spots we could get to. On to plan D. It's one of those sites that can't be hunted till winter. Not only is it over grown, but the rattle snakes love this place.
Here's a pic I took in 07..
Such a shame to see these old places go. All the tin from the roof is scattered about and a son of a gun to hunt around, but I've found some of my best keepers here. They just come at a slow trickle, but the fun is in the hunt, right?
First neat keeper is this....well...I'm not sure what it is....it's a man?
back side:
Almost looks like a tiny cookie cutter?
Any ideas?
The last keeper of the day was a pleasant surprise. After telling Lisa about my first Indian being a 1904 earlier in the day, I thought it was neat that this one was a 1904 as well.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas holiday and can get out there and find somethin' good!
