Saturday wasn't a real good day, BUT............

It was a half real good day! Found my first half real from the 1800's. All the rest are 1700's. Pulled it up at one of my club hunts. Also pulled a silver spoon bowl, interested key fob from the Berkshire Hotel and a couple of lead seals. Some other nice finds were made by others in the club including a really nice 1840 seated half dime, 1864 2 cent piece, well above average NJ copper and a bunch of other stuff. This was not a seeded hunt, but an old farm.

Hit a local recent permission again and came up with more stuff. I thought my silver streak was going to be broken as I only came up with 2 cents. Then I found what appears to be a single stem flower holder. It's 47 grams of sterling and was found in sections about 20 feet apart. I should mention that one of the two cents I found was a Liberty Cap large cent. It's pretty toasted, but hey, I'll take it. Also pulled a crotal bell from the place.

Today I hit a park with a buddy and came up with more silver. The streak continues. It's up to about 15 consecutive outings finding silver. Nothing special, but I'll take 5 pieces of silver in under 3 hours any day.

Nice finds Don. You mentioned seeded hunts. I just don't think those would interest me at all.

They don't interest me either, but it seems some people like them. It's not much different than going out and buying the items you find as far as I'm concerned.
