Well it's been awhile since I have posted, but today I finally got out to do a little hunting. 
Planned on digging with Buckle Boy today, but we both had things we needed to take care of and decided to do a hunt tomorrow.
I told the wife I think Im gonna go and do some detecting out on the farm for an hour or so before I go and take care of things in town.She says ..yeah sure only an hour or so.I said yeah,an hour or so.Off I went.
Headed out for a long walk to a site I had taken BB and KFB to in the past,where KFB found a LC.
Well on the way there I had to pass another old homesite that we have detected numerous times and never found any coins and always thought that seemed odd.Well as I approached this site I thought, should I hit it real quick or carry on to the other site I planned on going to.I said what's a few minutes gonna hurt.Never seem to find much here but theres pottery and glass everywhere in the ground, so I know a house once stood there.
Well today the Pretty Lady wanted out of the dirt.The Sun was calling
.Well my first target I dug was an
1891 Seated Dime.
I kept going for a little while and dug some brass items ,clock parts,reeds and such.Then I got a hit that rang up at 18 steady and thought could it be another coin? Out pops an 1872 Shield Nickel.
I swung for a few more minutes and decided my hour was up an headed for home with a big grin on my face.We have hunted that same spot I know numerous times,and coins were not to be found there.Well my short hunt today proves there is still stuff out there even when you think you have found it all.
Happy Hunting Everyone
