Today I went out for a hunt in the morning with my buddy Charlie. Charlie and I go way back, as many of you all do with hunting partners. I found an 1839 LC, but the backstory I Feel is the highlight of this post.
Yesterday I received a text from a t-net member with a pic of a giant friggin' seated dollar. He said his sister-in-law found it and she just started detecting. So the first thing I asked was if he took her to one of his spots, and demonstrated to him how much he sucks at detecting (just a jab). He said that he has taken her to many of his spots but she found this on her own, and in fact wouldn't tell him nor invite him to be "secret spot". That's her choice and its fine, but as he put it, "at least I know where I stand".
Fast forward to my friend Charlie. Charlie found a Liberty Cap the other day, 1794. First thing he did was send me a text which was quickly followed by a phone call. Awesome Charlie, that's bloody amazing I said. The next words out of his mouth were, "Steve you gotta check this place out man. I ain't going back until you come with me". Now that's a friend and a good detecting buddy. Now originally Charlie, Bartek, and I were supposed to hit a secret site but Bartek just came off a 10 day Tequila binge in Mexico and had to catch up at work, so Charlie and I went to the Liberty cap spot.
Not 10 feet from where he found the Lib Cap I pulled this LC
After a few hours
Thanks Charlie for the hunt.
I tell my two kids constantly that sharing is caring. It doesn't work all the time but man it feels good to both give and receive. This holiday season everyone needs to give away their best spots to friends. Ok, that's a bit far, but take them to one you've only hit a few times
Happy Holidays and Happy Hunting y'all.

great post and awesome digs. I am pretty stingy when it comes to sharing permissions, I have only shared great permissions with my brother-in-law since his life has been very busy these past 2 years. He has only had about 80 hours of coil time in the past 2 years where as I have about 1000. I have hunted with only one other MDer in the area and he is also super busy, he may only get to swing the coil about 50 hours a year, if he's lucky, since he works 2 jobs. I am mainly a lone wolf hunter. I do enjoy assisting newbs I see hunting, in my local travels. They are normally minors who are trying to learn their new detector.
