My digging buddy and I went to check out an old cave that he's been going on about for the last three years, but when we got there it was practically inaccessible, unless we were to wade through a bunch of water just to get to the opening. I said no thanks, it's winter.
So I took him to a nearby old church with a cemetery behind it that has more headstones than the town had living people. He wanted to hunt around the church and I decided to hunt the little road between the cemetery and a wet weather creek that runs along the edge.
As I parked I saw a bunch of limbs that had fallen from a tree that was dying in the cemetery and decided to do a good deed before I started hunting by dragging them all out of the cemetery and just making things look a little better. I guess it paid off in good karma because the second hole I dug sounded like it might be a wheat penny or clad dime at best but to my surprise it had an 1876 Seated Liberty Dime.
These are so far and few between around here it's not even funny.
