Fantastic 1st hunt with OldDude for 2017! Took a SEAT!

[cjon455]

Got out with olddude today, 1st time for 2017. We went north for a bit of permission seeking. I only spoke to 3 people and got a yes on 2. 1st place was ok for me got a buff and 7 wheats and the thing on the long chain. Dave got a nice Holed Large Cent there. Went up the road a bit and scored a nice 1860s permission. I got the 1886 seated dime (2nd seated in 2 weeks) and 1916 barber dime about 10 feet from each other. Also got 4 indians including a 1859 fatty and 1 wheat there plus 2 old rings that the gold plating wore off. Finished with 2 silvers (10fty), 8 wheats (50 fty), 4 indians (6 fty) and a buffalo plus the other odds and ends. One of my favorite finds besides the silver is the intact crotal bell. All in all a nice fun day of digging, thanks for coming along dave, it was a blast! Thanks for looking and Happy hunting!!

Those Facebook guys will be hard pressed to catch up to you this year in your silver contest. Thanks for inviting me Chris. As always, I enjoyed the laughs and the hunts. I am beginning to believe you when you say I am your good luck charm for Barbers!

Congrats on a successful first dig of the year! Some nice goodies there!
Guess you never know what's there till you knock and get an OK.

Congrats on a GREAT hunt Cjon! 67% success on door-knocking is much better than mine...lol. That Seated is absolutely awesome! I'm still poking around for my first one...sigh....but I do realize if you want clad, go to the park, if you want Seated, go to mid 1800 sites. Excellent hunt, you guys earned everything you found...Ddf

Soooo, the duo is back in force, eh? You guys always seem to find some permissions that are worth their salt.
Nice finds!

Does this mean that the next time I'm in the area you both will go on a sabbatical again?
