A Little Silver, A Little Gold, Life is Good!
Howdy Folks!
I'm behind on posting about some recent hunts (like 3 of them) because my wife bought me a Kindle eReader and gave it to me early. It is my Yule gift, but with all the medical nonsense I've experienced, she figured I might like to have it early, especially if it is my sole source of amusement if I ended up in the horsepital.
What you'll see below is the result of recent hunts and I found some gold and silver to brag on. I've also started writing again, and hope to have a book ready to publish before the end of the year. I'd like that! Metal detectors figure prominately in the tale I'm spinning too.
So with all that as preamble, here are the goodies I found recently.
I ventured into a small open area in the middle of a subdivision in hopes of finding old coins. I did find a few, but nothing to write home about. However, I was tickled to find a cap pistol. It is very similar to those I had when I was a small boy, about 50 or 55 years ago. This toy gun used paper roll caps that you can't get these days.
I did a short hunt one Friday night after working only about 3 hours. It was dark and only around 36 degrees outside, so that ended up being a real short hunt. However, I did find a gold earring. It didn't look quite right but passed the magnet test when I got it home. But I tested it with acid. I didn't figure it would pass as gold, but turned out to be 18k gold! Nice enough!
Finally, I was out from around noon until I quit hunting around 5:00pm on the following day. It felt good to spend some time hunting, considering how little I've done since this darn injury thing. I found lots and lots of stuff! Among those items is a piece of an earring that got broken, but the part I have is 14k gold! I also found two silver rings, both marked 925.
And there are the two silver rings. One is adult sized, while the other is purely something made for a child!
All in all, not a bad couple or three hunts of recent vintage. While I ain't doing too bad hunting, I still ain't hitting my stide. Not even close. So the quicker I get this whole episode of my life behind me, the sooner I'll be back to cracking the gold and silver like I ought.
My total take for the three hunts was:
19 Quarters = $4.75
13 Nickels = $0.65
22 Dimes = $2.20
86 Pennies = $0.86
Total = $8.46
Coin Count = 140 Coins.
Everything I found on these hunts was the result of using my MXT Pro with the 6x10 coil.
If I was fixed and healed up, that'd be pretty good for one day's hunting. Considering it is the total haul of 3 different hunts, you soon understand why I am chawing the bit to get back to normal. (Granted, normal for me is a relative thing, and I'll admit that right up front!!!)
Thanks for Lookin'
