Hi all,
Gary and I got out today, probably be our last time for awhile. Supposed to rain and get really cold next week.
We went to an old ghost town and started hunting in the field where it once stood. Wouldn't you know it, Gary didn't even need a detector. We were walking in the field and he saw something laying in the field. He called me over and told me to look down the furrow and tell him what I saw. Well it was a 1934 Walking Half Dollar. We have hunted that field so many times you wonder how you could miss a coin like that.
We left there, I didn't find any coins at that site, but found a few shoe buckles. We then went to a old one room school house and didn't find anything there.
We then moved on down the road and we stopped at a old house site from the late 1800's that I had hunted years ago.
I just got out of the car, took about four steps and got a signal. I thought man another beer can. Well it wasn't a beer can, it was a 1899 Silver Dollar!! Talk about surprised, I was! That is only the 3rd Silver dollar I have found in the 23 years I have been hunting. I also found a Muleshoe and a Horseshoe.
Gary kept hunting and he came up with a 1857 Seated Quarter at the same site. Needless to say we will hit this site again next spring after the farmer has worked the field.
Hope you year is full of great finds also. HH, Ringfinder
