Went on a road trip today to get some detecting in.
About 60 miles across country to the permissions.
6 sites were planted in winter wheat.
2 sites in a 1 foot plow, and 1 site partially cropped.

So first target after 30 minutes 1867-1967 penny

I said that needs to a 100 yrs older.
1.5 hrs later the next target I finally justified in taking a photo.
A saw nut

I got tired of plow row detecting so I went on a corn stubble field, found what was a big ash layer down 6" and over a large foot print.
Probably a barn that burnt down.
So between the saw nut and this buckle was another 2 hrs.
I was thinking this is a hard day for no really good keepers.

The next one I thought it only takes one to make a hunt.
Beautiful bell

Little did I know that 10 minutes later life would so great!
Solid 80 on the Deus ll
I thought gee a coin would be nice.
Dug the plug saw the edge-and for next few minutes I just looked at it and said NO WAY!
I looked away looked down and said it again No Way.
I must of repeated this 10 times.

I think I’d be afraid to find that. I’d be wondering how am I ever going to top this. Great save 👍
Thank You
Actually it was never really a want, not that I didn't ever not think of getting one.

I still would love to gat a silver dollar actually, or piece of trade silver.
Don't misunderstand there's no kicking this beauty out my bed any time soon. :headbang:

Yes I totality agree On the other hand if you did something that seems impossible (like finding an awesome gold coin) you have proved it is possible And logic would say that it is possible to find others someone once said If you think you can you might If You think you can't you won't And that is why we keep looking
