Well, as no doubt you have read, Mastereagle and I went out last night for a hunt on property owned by my brother. He purchased the following house and lot right behind his store in town. There is a rich history around this area and we were hopeful that this would not be another slow night. Here is where we hunted:
To quote Mastereagle in the next part of the story:
How convenient, he makes me detect the little strip of grass betweent the street and sidewalk and then he heads straight for a tree on a place he arranged for us to hunt and finds an old coin.
Actually, what happened, is he was in such a hurry to detect that he starts right out by the street and then cries when I find a good coin. I started swinging and thinking I should cover some ground and see if anything jumps out at me since he keeps telling me his Explorer will be finding gold rings on peoples hands in China...so I decided not to let any grass grow on me searching. When I found the coin I did something that Mastereagle didn't do with his silver coins. I WAS CAREFUL WITH IT! That is why I was (as he put it) cradling it like a baby. As can be seen from the pictures, it has some honest wear, but nothing more. I could hardley get Mastereagle to quit dancing to all the funky music his Explorer was pumping out, long enough to take these picture of me. Let me attach some pictures of the moment I will not soon forget! I hope everyone gets to experience something like this in their detecting hunts. What a rush finding an 1890 Centavo M (The coin is a little wet in some pictures from the tears Mastereagle shed when he saw it).
We both had a great hunt even though I only found 2 keeper coins and Mastereagle found 4 silver and 3 old wheats. Usually we don't find that many good coins in one place. I must say though, we worked darn hard in the heat until close to 11pm. We started hunting right after work too.
Just to set the record straight on a few things:
Mastereagle says: I dig a small hole and flip the plug over and there in the plug lays the holy grail of my quest!!! You guessed it I got my funny dime with the lady and the wings!!! 1945!!!!
What really happened was:I dug the hole for him after pinpointing it's exact location with my Whites. I tell him it's 2" deep right outside the hole we just dug. I start digging and he almost looses a hand when he says, "There it is" and grabs it.
Mastereagle says:the beast growls that same high pitch sweet tone we had heard
What really happened was: this 'big goose of a detector' honks like Pinocchio with a sinus infection. I am not kidding...people were sending their kids inside!
All in all, we had a terrific time and we learned more about our detectors. I do want to go on record saying I am slamming Mastereagle before he slams me, but I truly enjoy our little forays detecting. Thanks for the 57 Rosie bro....

You are the one that asked me where the China button was on the Beast. I told you it didn't have one but it does have a "to the center of the earth" one.
