Today I Did my 50 min one way paddle out to my new site for my second hunt there . I did not wander as much as I did on my last hunt . I tried to concentrate on finding targets instead of more area . Though I did find another foundation there today !
I had a spectaular day if I must say so myself ! It was beautiful crossing the harbor today. I saw a lot of loons and shitpoke's fishing . I could see schools of herring or maybe awlwifes breaking the surface to escape the predators . . Then a harbor seal came up close to the kyak. That was cool ! It looked like they had good hunting ! I finished my paddle and it didn't take long before I had an Indian head under my coil ! Then another Indian and then I broke the silver barrier with a Mercury dime 
. Good start I thought . ! next signal and I thought I had another Indian . It turned out to be an Army & Navy civil war token . Common token . I think this is my 6th one in seven years. Then i sniffed out the cuff button backmarked L & KENDELL * EXTRA * . A little ways from there and I pick up the Waturbury Button Co. General service button . Then I picked up another good silver signal and popped a 1906 D. Barber dime . I thought to myself I could get a dime trifecta if I could find a rosie or a seated ! I popped another indian about 15 mins later when about 8 feet from this I get a silver signal I know is not a dime ! Strong 0/30 signal showing at 9 inches down on the Explorer ! I almost pooped my pants ! Seated Half dollar ! 1876 S. Seated half dollar. In what looked like imaculate condition ! 
I stopped right there and took an insituation pic of my finds so far and texted it to my cousin .The Half was found in a very fortunate sandy loamy location as you can see from the first Iphone PICS. 10 minutes or so later I thought I had another big silver coin ! A strong 2/29 showing 6 inches down on the SE PRO . It turned out to be a coin silver spoon made by Farrington & Hunnewell BOSTON . Silversmiths who were in bussiness from 1835 -1885 . I was running out of time when I got a faint 2/27 reading showing 8 inches down . . I could not believe how my luck was running ! 1858 O. Seated dime to complete my Trifecta ! I was a happy Paddler today I am here To say ! MaineRelic
