Missed out on a hunt of a lifetime!!! Big, Old, Silver!!

[fishstick]

My buddies called me Sat afternoon to join them for a hunt at a new site they just got permission at. I was already huntin at my new site so I told them I'd pass this time. BOY O'BOY did I screw up!!!! Not 1 but 2 8 reales and a 50C piece!!!! Plus 4 LC. That was all in an hour, their field was still froze pretty good bein on the north side of the woods. It's in cornstalks right now so what will pop out when you can get a coil close to the ground!! I WILL DEF BE GOIN THERE THE NEXT TIME!!!!! Dates are 1835 & 1836 on the reales and 1813 on the 50C!!! The LC were all from the 1830's. Sounds like somebody forgot where they buried their jar of coins!!!!!! And I thought I was doin good at my new site!! HH....

They are 2 brothers, 1 got the 1835 and the other got the capped and 1836. They were under time restraints to begin with, that's one of the reason's I declined their offer. I didn't want to drive all that way up there for just a short hunt and bein the site is on the north side of the woods the ground was still pretty frozen. It bein in cornstuble doesn't help either. We already have plans on goin back as soon as the weather breaks! My 5" coil should KILL in there!!!! HH...

That small coil will slip around them corn stubs great, Which can be a real pain.
Good luck when you get the chance to get out there.

That's definitely envy inducing! If they found those big silvers so quickly, imagine how many more medium and small silvers will be hiding! I'd get that small coil in there ASAP.

My heart goes out to you. I think I would have cried for missing coins like these.
