Well Silvergurl and I hunted a set of woods for about 3 hours and we didn't find anything but junk. So we called it a day and started driving home when we noticed a lot of people lining up along the rail road tracks, we asked whats going on and we were told that an old steam engine was gonna come through in a bit. So we turned around and raced back to the woods so I could video tape it. Here it is:

​


After the train passed Twistidd called me and asked if we were still out hunting and we decided to try our luck at another section of woods just on the other side of the street. I have hunted there a good 5 times and found some old coins over there but after awhile the place just seemed to dry up. Well Twistedd started going back hunting there and coins just started popping up again. As soon as we walked in Twistidd got a coin signal, and not more than 3 minutes and 15 feet away I got a coin signal. Its funny how you can hunt the same place over and over again and still be able to go back and still find old coins. When I dug the token Twistidd was filming me, we were positive that it was gonna be a deep quarter but when I pulled it up and ran my finger across it all's I saw was shiny gold!!!! I thought I found my 1st $10 coin. We were just looking at each other in total shock, its funny - check it out on the video. LOL

Nice video's. Never seen an old train like that one still operational. That must have been fun watching it go by. Not a bad hunt you had in the woods.
