She was sittin' a long ways away from the GREEEEEN Injun'

Met up with a pretty good feller" today to do a little diggin'...and he got to meet my hunting buddy Hercules :icon_thumleft:

We had no choice but to pound this old sad park one more time. :icon_sunny:

I didn't care if I found anything or not...I was just looking for some peace and relaxing hunt time with a really good guy.

I hunted over 2 hours before I dug my first coin...and it turned out to be a 9" deep memorial cent in fill dirt

...so we moved to a different spot.
Notice I don't show a pic of that great find :headbang:

Another 30 minutes passed before I finally got a peep through the falsing and nulling that caught my attention.

From right at 10" down came the seated dime. I knew I had silver when it came out...but had no idea what it was until Roy looked at it. You see...he had on some glasses

...but I didn't...he also rubbed most of the mud off before we could see the date.

After that... nothing more...but at least I did get one sweet keeper...and got to meet and hunt with a fellow hunter. :hello2:

After that I headed home...but decided to take the long way and hit one more park. ::)

After an hour or so I got a very deep, goofy sounding signal :icon_scratch:

that I thought had a shot at being an injun'.

I dug a very deep plug in the moist, muddy ground...but the probe was still sounding off to the bottom side....so I had to widen the hole some.

BEFORE some of you hammer me for digging a nasty hole

....please realize this ground had been plowed in the recent past and there was NO way to properly cut a plug. :dontknow:

I had no choice but to dig it out in clumps and pile it on my towel in order to PROPERLY fill and repair the hole once I was done. :icon_thumleft:

From very DEEEEEP as the pics show...out came this clump with a gorgeous GREEN as green gets....Injun' sticking out the side :icon_thumleft:

I normally don't take my camera with me...but had it today so I could take a pic of Roy...so I grabbed it and snapped the 3 shots of this baby.

As you can see...the depth was well over the length of the probe :hello2:

....and you can clearly see the detail of the feathers in the headdress from 3 feet away :wink:

I have this critter soaking in olive oil right now...so maybe after a few days I can post some pics of how it came out.

To hunt the whole day for 2 coins...oh yeah...3 if you count the 9" deep memorial cent :laughing9:

...might not seem worth it to some of you...but it sure was fun. :icon_thumleft:

I'll say this again too...it seriously wouldn't have mattered if the silver would have been a roosie instead of a seated.....SILVER is SILVER...and I'd have been just as happy :hello:

After the long day...my buddy Hercules hit his bed pillow at the bottom of the stairs while I typed up my post :hello:

Congrats on the seated coin. I know how you feel. I can't see without my reading glasses. I can read something across the room but not up close.

Bryce,

WTG buddy!! It is so good to get out and hunt! That is really all that counts. I finally have been able to get out the past week. It is so SWEET. It doesn't really matter what you find - it's all in the hunt. Congrats on your finds. Best of luck the rest of the year, too!

HH,

Dr. Ace
