Weekend Hunt: 14K

[Carolina Tom]

The weather was sunny and warm this weekend. I got out on Saturday with Smittyman and P@tch. We went to couple different spots... both former house sites. The good news is everyone found at least one silver coin, the better news is, I found 14K.

Here is a pic of Smittyman working the turf.



I flipped this plug over and was greeted with this, a shiny disc.



Turned out to be a '44 Merc.



A bit later, I got a 47 on the Deus... tin foil or can slaw, for sure. As soon as I got his in my hand, I knew it was neither!



National Honor Society 14K pin, intact and flawless! Only the third gold item that I have found in 4 years. The only thing better than 14K is the look on the faces of the other boys!



I found a few other things, like marbles, part of a bronze horse, Wheaties and a few lead pieces.



Gold is awesome, but so is spending time with like minded gentlemen, and enjoying the fresh air.

YTD silver coins: 40

Thanks for looking and best of luck on your hunts!

Wow Tom that's awesome! Glad to see you all found some silver, and you even got gold. It shows your skill finding such a tiny piece of gold, a lot of people would have missed it!

Well Sir, it seems appropriate that you found a national honor society 14kt pin. it is a very nice one too and I am sure that you had a very big grin when you realized what you had. Good friends, silver by all and a bonus of gold for you...now it is friends with even more great memories. Pretty cool

I hate to break it to you Tom but I dropped that pin the last time I was down that way. What? You didn't know I was an honer studant??

Congrats on the gold. One of these days I hope to find some more.

GL & HH

A good looking pin Tom. Looks better than the ones off eBay for sure. Out of curiosity I went to the NHS website to see what one would cost new but like most stuff today, they don't make 'em like they used to. They are gold filled now.
