Hey guys…been getting out more now that I’ve got a few weeks in between semesters. We hit the Berg a little more a couple weeks ago…my finds were a little on the slim side but it was still nice to be out there. Ended up with part of a skeleton key in the old wheatfield and 3 real nice old wheats (two 1916-Ss and a 1917-S) out of 13 total wheats.

This hunt was a little more recent…we actually met up with Dan at one of our usual spots, an older school. I scored the nice silver ring and a few other trinkets.

You can read “sterling” on the left part of the ring, but there’s something else I can’t read where the arrow’s pointing to on the right of where the ring broke.

A few days ago Mirage and I headed to one of our more newly discovered spots, another old school. A little wandering produced the nice 1934 merc and the little running thing which I think is awesome, having loved being a varsity miler in track and especially with it being from 1957.

Yesterday we went back to another old school that we hadn’t hit all that much…the productive areas are relatively small so we had pulled the bulk of the stuff out already in the first couple times hunting the site. But surprisingly I still came up with the 36 merc, a 1918 buff, and a coin which must be aluminum and appears to be from Austria or Germany or something around there dated 1954.

So I'm actually 2 for 2 for silver on this year's hunts so far. Well hopefully the ground doesn’t freeze for a little longer yet…it was already tough digging with the first few inches frozen in some areas. Thanks for looking, HH yall!

Very nice finds!!! :thumbsup:

The other writing on the ring might be a manufacturer or someone's name/initials. All great finds!! Keep it up in 2009!

Nice finds; yep that's an Austrian coin all right. Those old wheats have been living in very kind soil all these years!
 
Great digs Nate! Glad to hear y'all been getting some hunting in. In your third pic - is that a big chunk of lead? That little car looks like the ones they used to make that were "water jet" powered. Congrats... :thumbsup:

Yea that hunk of lead surprised me...kept making my pants fall down until I threw it over to Mirage who had to refind it as it sunk into the ground so far upon impact. ;D And yea the car has to be some kind of special powered car...at first I thought maybe CO2 but I think cartridge would have been aluminum or something, not plastic.

Thanks, I get inspired by the posts on here too, often I'll get myself in the zone a little and check out what people are finding before heading out the door. :icon_pirat:
