what a day

[bottlecap4t2]

hello, everyone. how has everyone been. we have had a bit of raine here in maine so i have not had the chance to get out much. but i got me a new detector and have been itching to try it out well its not new but new to me lol. its a "tesoro silver sabre two" it has only been used four times and then packed away in a friend of mine mothers house closet. i picked it up for $50 bucks and he also gave me a burnetts cocoaine bottle, as i am a bottle collector. what a good friend he is. well i got a chance to use it today. the city of bangor is going to natural gas, so they have been diging up just between the sidewalk and the roads. where the grass is off to the side. it just so happens that thay dug right in front of my house in two spots when they dig they only dig a hole about six by six just enough room to join the lines together as thay have a machine that pulles the line through the ground. well any way i go out front turn on the tesoro swing it once an bingo a nice looking 1944 silver quarter pretty good for one swing and less than 3" deep and soil like butter love that part lol. so i go to the secont hole swung the coil for about five minuts and bingo a 1800's something seated dime not in very good condition but still a seated one. its going to rain for the next couple of days but when it stops there is street after street that the city has dug up, and i found out that its ok as long as i fill in my holes when i am done. there are some really old streets here in bangor and the one i have in mind is west broadway. cant wait. but here are a couple of pics of the coins i found. thanks everyone for looking. "god bless" ben & colleen.
