Yeah I know I said I was done for the year..but I snuck in 90 more minutes.

[silverfreak]

What can I say? I was 99% sure Thanksgiving night was my last hunt of the year..but it hit 50 degrees here today ...and I had 90 minutes to play at my beat to death park. When I say beat to death...I mean beat to death...but this was the perfect hunt for me. I dug only 6 targets in the 90 minutes...but all 6 were keepers. I managed 4 wheaties....a 1903 injun..and a sweet but worn 1919D Merc. I just about filled my britches when I plucked out the Merc and saw the D mint mark because I would have sworn I saw 1916 for the date. I wasn't sure until I got home because I didn't have on my glasses...but was really let down when I put it under the loop and saw the last number was a 9. No matter how hard I tried to twist...turn...angle toward the light...etc...it remained a 1919 . Oh well...thats the first 1919D I have ever found and a semi key date...so I'll take it.
Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for viewing my 90 minutes of pleasure.

Looks like we were both bitten by the same bug I was out today also..mid 50's in December usually doesn't last too long.

Nice job, I've yet to find an IH.

Bryce, I'm glad you decided to post. I'd say that was a very good 90 minute hunt. Every dig was a keeper, huh? Fantastic!!

Silver, Injun, wheats...gotta be happy about that. Let's see, about 10 days left in the year....I think you'll be out again.

Happy Holiday, buddy!!

Nice finds for sure Silverfreak... love em all... by the way, have you seen that harley santa commercial..all in black with the naughty list and harleys pulling his sleigh? I loveeeee that commercial.

Nice going...glad to see you got one more in... I was thinking the same as you...maybe i would get out today...my last hunt being Dec 4th... But even with the warm up we still had more then half the ground covered in ice...but melting... Never made it out...but been buying selling a little equipment making a few changes for next year. Also reading Jeff Foster's digging digger with the dfx.... A lot of people said the book is complicated up to now I have not read anything I did not know already... Hopefully as I get deeper in the book I will learn something.

Looks like you hit the right spot in that area! Very nice finds...As we do on another forum...I am sure we will be talking next year...have a good one...and lets get ready for 2008!

 

[hollowpointred]

maybe you ought to sneak in another 90 minutes tomorrow! nice stuff!

 

[LandStar]

I need to get out of this Clay and LimeStome and get to where I can turn Up the sensitivity and get deep...I am never gonna find anything if I am only digging 4-6 inches...

Nice finds there for a 90 minute hunt.

HH,

SF,
Very nice coins. Congrats on the old Merc & IH. Your eyes are way better than mine. You can see a date, and I can hardly tell what coin I dug.
Happy holidays,
MM

Great 90 minutes!
Glad you could get out. I tried for about a half hour today, in some dirtpiles that the snow melted off of, but had no luck.
Supposed to be near 50 tomorrow, so I might still get out a few times before the years over.
Congrats!
And have a great Holiday!
