PACO Flies with an Eagle

[PACO]

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

Very, very nice......that Flying Eagle was dropped shortly after it was minted..........awesome detail under the beautiful green......... rim, denticles, eagle...... everything........just sat there, waiting to be picked up again.... probably by the dude who lost Kirk's "B" pin....... ;-)

Really nice job!

HH all!

Hey Paco,just checked out the BDD site,very cool!!! I,same as you,consider myself a proffesional and have even hunted down gold rings etc. for the owners at no charge, just to see the looks on their faces when I actually come up with it! I strive to keep things in order and haul out all trash both above and below ground and to keep a good rep. for our hobby.I do not,as a rule sell my finds,the exception being that old license plate but I mainly did that to keep my word to the gentleman who allowed me to hunt that site,which was I keep all single coin finds and anything else of value that I find would be sold and the money split 50/50.I kept my word and he was very pleased and the guy is a house salvager so we have a deal that he will call me in whenever he gets one thats old and worth searching.A win win sitch for both.OH yeah,VPONE is a monster!!! BDD's bodygaurd,no doubt!! HH, Bootstrap

hey bootstrap - glad you liked the site, we're obviously still working on it -
also glad to know that you detect as a "professional" thru and thru - liked you're story, that's definately the way we all need to be to keep the hobby in a good light.
