Some silver, some wings and some play money...

[mastereagle22]

Well I asked the wife if I could go last night for a couple of hours or stress relief (mding) and of course she said NO.

Good thing for me and Baldingboy that it was Opposite Day yesterday and of course on Opposite Day no means yes! (yay spongebob)

So I was on-call for work and I was hoping for a full night of hunting but that was not to be. I got to hunt an hour and fifty minutes with BB at a new site and found some cool stuff.

First target out of the ground a 1958 Rosie, then almost immediately a 62 rosie! Wow 2 silvers in less than 5 minutes I was stoked. Of course BB was walking around looking like someone had run over his puppy, a tear running down his cheek, repeating over and over "This XLT is broken, this XLT is broken" Then he started digging a hole that I thought was going to be his grave. After the hole was just about big enough for him to lay down in the homeowner came out and smacked him with a broom and made him fill it back in. Just can't take him anywhere. I told him not to give his XLT beer, but did he listen to me

Anyway as I stated I detected for a short while and found some good stuff. My first play money, and a really cool set of wings. I don't think the wings are Gold but they are gold colored. There is no marking anywhere on them. The pins that would hold the wings onto something are missing.

A key was about the last thing I found. I also found the sign so I guess Vampires won't be a problem.

The beeper went off and had to leave so I let BB go to a site we had hunted in the past right around the corner and of course he detected every square inch of it and got EVERY good find out of the ground. I drove by last night after he was done and let's just say that yard in Cape Girardeau now looks like the movie holes!

Oh yeah I hadn't seem any vampires around this house, I guess this sign explained why. . . .

Nice finds! I recently found that same play nickel but mine was a 1953. Still don't know anything about them. If you ever find out, please let me know in a PM.

you can look over in the what is it section where I posted my play money. Someone gave me a link to a site about it.

Nice finds,

The good old married life. I got three boys though that I can take out and the door opens alot wider for detecting when I say they can go. Well 2 of them atleast. They drive me crazy though at times. Busting bottles climbing trees catching salamanders lol. But I atleast get out.

Hey for such a short time of hunting I would say you had some great finds there. It's a great day in Hooter's ville when you can find two silvers in one day.

The toy 5¢ is from the c. 1950's-60's Uncle Sam play money series. See the following page for more info. (After the page loads, click on it to enlarge it.)

Thanks PBK maybe it was you over on the what is it post too, sorry can't remember.

I love taking my kids hunting with me but my 15 year thinks it's "boring" and my 9 year old daughter doesn't want to dig anything, she wants to find it and have me did it up. I do that sometimes but it isn't as much fun that way.

My 3 year old wants to collect bugs, and throw rocks. But I love all three of em. . .

Thanks everyone.

Yeah Burdie I'm never sad when Silver is in the hole. I think I have twice the silver I found last year and this year is only half over. I know that I have double my wheat penny finds this year already. . .

Now if I could just find a Barber coin and a few IHs I would be on cloud 9!!!!

Forgot to mention that the Charles Gulotta Co. bike reflector is c. 1950's, too.

And she said "NO?" What's up with that? Why, if Charlie were to call up and say he's going to the lake for a while, I'd say, "You go right ahead! And have a GREAT time!" But then again, we've been married for thirty years!

All those keepers in less that two hours! GREAT hunt, ME! Just what the doctor ordered! No telling what all ya'll will dig up there!

Awesome hunt! Congrats!!!
