Good adventure,17 coins and wet feet

[birdman]

Hi all, yesterday the forecast called for lite rain. A little rain is kid stuff but the site was up in the mountains and I soon realized that there was two inches of snow that was not there 6 days ago at the higher elevation..
I had to walk about a mile from the parking area . Crossing this field was easy last time but this time I went feet first into a pond .
It was iced over and had snow on the ice which made for perfect camouflage..
Yes wet feet was not a good way to start a hunt but I was close to the site so I pressed on. I realized that I had to keep moving or my feet would go numb.I had extra clothes in my back pack which saved the day for extra warmth .
It ended up being a good but tiring hunt, the take was 17 coins total ranging from late 1600s - one WW2 Japanese coin . On the walk back I walked right upon a huge pheasant which scared me to death but it was beautiful. Wish I would of had the camera out.
Thanks for looking and HH.

There is a website (Identify your Chinese coins) that has a lot of the Asian coins on it where you can look through and identify what they are. I picked one up out of a coin jar a couple of months back and found out it was a Japanese coin! Really neat Finds!!!

Yes, it sounds like it definitely WAS an adventure. I'd love to go on a hunt like that!

Korean Coins This is a very helpful site I found. Very interesting history.

The wetter the better I always say Bird. Oh wait, that was something else I was thinking of.
Great job on the coins. Two posts in a row you've had quite a haul. No Chuck E Cheese tokens over there yet?
Thanks for the post,

Been there with the wet feet in winter...a couple years ago I got two soakers in about -25 on the same day I locked my keys in the car! Had to wait 45 minutes for a spare!

Trent you are accumulating quite a collection of those funny coins with the square hole - LOL. Now you need to find some of those arrowhead coins!

Same area, now I need to find some closer spots since the days are starting to get longer. I would like to start going after work.

Glad you are having fun over there Bird. You will have quite a coin collection by the time you return home. I'm sure extra socks came in handy. HH, Q.
