YAAAHOOOO, I found my 200th Silver Coin for the year. new "pic"
Sunday started out as being kind of a desperation hunt. I only needed one more silver coin to hit the 200th mark for the year. I don't like to go about MD'ing that way, but with the forecast for us to get some snow Sunday night and a BIG STORM moving in on Tue and Wed, I figured it maybe my last day of MD'ing this year. I started working this schoolhouse / field last Tue and I found a nice 1895s Barber Dime and a 1891 V nickel on the top of the hill where the school use to be. When I got to the field I figured my best bet was to start at the bottom of the nice sliding hill and work my way up to the top where I was working last Tue. I started off swinging the coil a lot faster then I would like to because I wanted to cover as much ground as I could Sunday. I was working the hill for about 45 min's when I come across a target that had a nice tone that didn't sound like trash and the numbers were jumping between 36 to 40. The first thing that I did was say a lil prayer to the MD'ing God's for them to please let it be a silver coin, LOL. After the lil prayer I shoveled out some dirt and checked the pile. Yep, it's in the pile. I started going through the dirt and when I saw the reeded edge of a silver coin I let out a big oh YAAHOOOO and did a happy dance on my way to the pickup to get the camera. After filming my 200th silver coin for the year, a 1901 Barber Dime. I went back to MD'ing the way I should be doing it, low and slow. After finding the Barber Dime I didn't care if I didn't find anything else for the rest of the day, but I did manage to find a few more keepers for the day. I found a 43 Merc, a 1889 IH and a really nice #8 sterling silver Thimble.
If we get all of the snow that they are forecasting for and if it don't warm up some by the end of the year, it looks like Sunday's hunt is going to be my last hunt of the year and boy was it a good one.
I took a picture of what I woke up to this morning and some people may think it's nice, but I'm not ready for " it " yet, lol
