Second attempt - A Bit o SILVER!!!

Second attempt - A Bit o' SILVER!!!

I thought I'd sneak in a quick post before all my relatives descend on my house tonight for a 5 day stay. I'm talking eleven people and two dogs in my house. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I have the shed and closets prepared for everyone.

This was my second try at the new spot where I dug the 2-center on Thursday. No coins in the 1800's today, but I did find a few silver. I gridded the front yard and side yard today. Still have the backyard, pasture, and around the outbuildings to go.

My finds were:

*1934 Quarter

*1939 Merc

*1944 War nickel & 1940 Jefferson nickel

*Nine wheats - oldest being 1923

*1969 Lincoln penny shot in the head!

*Sterling ring

*Sterling buckle - Pat. 8/5/24

*Tiny compass, pocket knife, Model T Ford ignition piece, tiny brass buckle.

Well, that's all Folks.
Thanks for looking,
MM

As long as your relatives aren't like cousin Eddie on Christmas Vacation, you should be fine and the house should be spotless once they leave.

It is good to see you finding the silver, buddy Dug! I remember you were on a drought a while back.

Thanks Kyle.
Old cousin Eddie is a classic. The kids are now pumped up from eating sugar all day, I had one clogged toilet so far, and a popped air mattress. The two 6 year old boys have been doing battle today. They got into a sword fight with sticks outside, and one nailed the other one with a sharp jab. To get revenge later boy #2 kicked boy #1 square in the family jewels. I'm not sure which one is the pack leader now. SERENITY NOW!!!
Everyone is leaving on Wed. to go back home, so I may get out to detect by Friday.
Have a great week,
Miners Mad House
P.S. Did I mention I stocked up with beer before company arrived?


THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT REPLIES EVERYONE. Good luck this week if you get out.

LMAO!
I think insanity will set in when I go back to work on Tuesday. Hopefully I can squeek out another 1800's coin before the year ends. Wish me luck buddy,

Come on over, MM. I have a spare bedroom if you need it. I'll empty that closet so's you won't be tempted to try on the summer dresses. Charlie and I watched the movie Four Christmases last night, and it was pretty funny. You might want to video the entire week and make your own movie! I hear there's good money in directing.
YOU FOUND A 2'center!? I haven't gotten to that post yet! But geeze, look at all the silver in this one! Fantastic hunting!!

Thanks Nana.
I was hoping I could try on all of the dresses and walk the cat walk for you & Charlie.
My wife & I saw that movie too. Vince Vaughn is hilarious in about any movie.
You have a happy new year & good luck to you in 2010.
Today our family adventure is the twelve of us going out for an Italian meal at a nice restaurant. With four small kids, you can bet I'll
position myself as far away as possible from them. There is a ray of light tonight though. Grandma is having all the kids stay at her house. She already has grey hair so it should be fine. I'll give her a roll of duct tape just in case though.
