Quick hunt nets my first ever half cent

[mainer]

Hey guys and gals. Havent been out at all in a couple of months. Its deer season here in Maine and that is my passion in the fall. But theres no hunting in Maine on sundays, and I had about an hour to kill, so I decided I would hit the woods and try a spot I got permission for. I wasnt going to hit this spot til spring, but I'm glad I did. The first thing I dug when I got there was the half cent. When I dug it you could faintly make out Half Cent on the back but it is obliviated, hence the reason for only one pic. Dug a little junk before I got a sweet silver sound on the Explorer, and from about 6 inches out popped a 1911 barber dime. I was glad to see silver its been a while. Stayed a few more minutes but didn't dig anything of interest til I was almost back to the truck, where I dug this neat baseball coin. Frank Bolla I think is the guys name played for the Braves. I am going to look into it and see exactly what it is. Thanks for reading. Have a great halloween.

Looks a return hunt is in order, nice going on your first 1/2, and the silver.

too bad that half-cent was in rough shape I bet there's some more early goods to be had there.. Hope you get some more quality hunting time before winter!

Nice find. Heck a penny don't buy much anymore but a half cent I know, that's when things were cheap and it probably was worth something. Nice quicky hunt

Congrats on your first half cent, I found my first the other day too.
No deer hunting on Sundays? What's up with that? If you work all week then it leaves you a Saturday to tag a deer. That's tough stuff.

great job there mainer...good to see your still out

 

[mainer]

Thanks guys.

I dont know the reasoning behind the no Sunday hunting Hill Billy. It has been that way for as long as I can remember. Another one of the state of Maine's bright idea's I guess.
