Todays hunt was a "BUST"

Took some time out today to hunt a foundation spot, the whistle was about 4 inches down, then about an hour later this little beauty rang in at about 9 inches down next to a huge maple tree. I literally spent about 20 mins digging this out from under the roots from the tree, at least my work payed off.
enjoy the pics,

cleaned my whistle, was very surprised on its quality, could this have belonged to a cop?
the site im hunting belonged to a guy who had 17 children, his 4th child was a merchant marine, worked on a whaling ship & also served in the union army in the civil war, upon his return, he lived out his years where he was born. (hense the eagle belt plate found here about 3 weeks ago) I learned this by researching info and maps at the local library.

Your hard work paid off! The best targets are under tree roots! That's a coin few people will ever dig.

whoa! i'd say your work bore some very nice fruit.
every time i get a nice signal down 9" and under a tree root, it's a budweiser can.
congrats!

I have dug a lot of great coins in the past 30 years. But, I have yet to cross the Bust Half of my list.

It's great that you stuck with that target. I know many others would have given up. It takes a lot of dedication to dig 9" in roots. Obviously, your hard work paid off big time !!!

Congrats on an awesome coin !!!
