1749 Farthing while Morel Hunting

[dwayne sueno]

Metal detecting is a good way to sneak up on morels,
and sneaking up on morels is a good way to metal detect.
It's been a short but sweet morel season here upstate, but unless there's
a late bloom, I'd say they're getting a bit big and tough for eating.
Got this 1749 KGII farthing not twenty feet from a big dying elm that
was surrounded by morels. The soil was sandier than usual, and preserved
the coin fairly well. Didn't get any other non-ferrous signals anywhere close by,
which has been the way it's been this year.

Happy Hunting,

Dwayne

I never knew they were edible. Maybe you can open a fast food chain and serve McMorels!.

Love hunting morels while turkey hunting in Missouri. They go together like peas and carrots. You are making me hungry!



Awesome farthing!

Neil, I am trying to find out if they grow in our neck of the woods. I would love to find some and cook em up.
