HELLO ALL,
US BONE DRY GUYS WENT TO ONE OF OUR FAMOUS COLONIAL SITES TODAY. THIS SITE HAS BEEN STARTING TO DRY UP WITH VERY FEW GOOD TARGETS LEFT. HENCE THE NAME BONE DRY, WHICH IS THE WAY WE LIKE TO LEAVE IT.
IT WAS ABOUT 8:30 A.M. AND ABOUT 25 DEGREES OUT, KIRKPA, ZOYBOY, VPONE AND I ( PACO ) MEMBERS OF BONE DRY DETECTING BRAVED THE ELEMENTS. VPONE AND I WERE DRESSED FOR THE WEATHER, BUT THAT WAS`NT THE CASE FOR THE EVIL TWINS,OR SHOULD I SAY A PAIR OF GLADIATORS. IT WAS SO COLD THESE 2 PROS HAD VERY LITTLE ON. NO GLOVES, NO HATS, WITH JUST T-SHIRTS AND PULL OVER SWEATS.
KNOW BODY WAS GETTING MUCH, LIKE I SAID WE HIT IT HARD IN THE PAST. BUT I MANAGED TO DO OK TODAY. I SLOWED MY SWEEPING MOTION WAY DOWN TODAY AND IT PAID OFF. I GOT A REAL NICE HIGH TONE THAT HIT AROUND 30 VDI. WITH MY DIGGING SHOVEL, THE TARGET DEPTH WAS ONLY 2 INCHES. I SAW THE COIN IN THE FROZEN PLUG. IT WAS SHOWING ME TAILS UP, AND I THOUGHT, DAMN , A FREAKING INDIAN HEAD. WHEN I PLUCKED IT OFF THE PLUG I SAW HOW THICK IT WAS. I SAID OK NOT BAD , A FATBOY I.H....... BUT WHEN I CLEANED IT UP ON MY PANTS I SAID YEA BABY, MY FIRST FLYING EAGLE CENT ( 1857 ). KIRKPA, ZOYBOY AND I ALL DID A BONE DRY DANCE. WE WANTED VPONE TO JOIN US , BUT HE WAS OUT A FEW HUNDRED YARDS AWAY TO JOIN IN. I MANAGED TO GET 5 ONE PIECE BUTTONS BY THE DAYS END..........PACO, BONE DRY DETECTING :)

nice dig, looks like a real keeper. BTW don't yell when you type, later
 

Yo, Paco, what's up, man? You made Ken White proud again today, my metal detecting friend!

I think I should have dressed up a little better. Folks, my fingers were frozen solid by the end of the day, I had to ask Paco to turn my machine off for me (turning of a knob)...now that is hardcore! :D Keep swinging that MXT with the passion we all know! :)

Bone Dry Detecting...Kirk :) :D
 

Way to go Paco. You guys are hardcore!! That Flying Eagle looks great. She held up really well. You can still see all the ridges around the coin. It was probably dropped in near new condition. That coin is still on my wish list ;) Maybe next year I'll get one. Keep getting out if you can. I always enjoy the B D D posts.
 

THANKS EVOLUTION, I NEVR THOUGHT I WAS EVER GOING TO FIND ONE. BUT WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. IT HAPPENS.......PACO, BDD
 

THANKS TYMCMURRAY, I GUESS I SHOULD POST THE BUTTONS TOO. I HAVE OVER 150 THIS YEAR. I DID`NT THINK IT WAS SUCH A BIG DEAL..... THANKS AGAIN. MAYBE I`LL POST THEM ON OUR WEB SITE. BONEDRY DETECTING .COM
 

YO KIRKPA HOMIE, I GOT THE LETTER OUT. YOU AND ZOYBOY WERE A COUPLE OF FROZEN TOUGH S.O.B.`S........PACO, BONE DRY DETECTING

Dude, I know you've just been waiting to spout a Swayze quote. That one definitely fits. Are you going to incorporate some Swayze dancing into your celebration dances next year. The jovial gibbons dance just isn't cutting it anymore. :D ;D The first copper you find next year, I expect you to lift vpone over your head like Swayze does with baby in the last dance. :D :D ;D ;D :o ;)
 

Great find Paco!!! I just found my first this year and you replied saying you were still waiting on yours,well I guess you got it!! I did the same thing pulling it up tails first and thinking oh it's just an IHP then I turned it over and hoooolllllly!! Mine was a '58 but yours is in far better condition!!! Congrats again, Bootstrap
