Yo Tnet forum, what's up? KirkPA here. I just got back from datectin', so I decided to sit my metal detecting butt down and type up my latest adventure with my good buddy, PACO. The night before, I called my good buddy's homestead, in which my good buddy picked up the phone, so I stated, "Pac, it's me." So, we proceeded to chat about our hobby...we went through many metal detecting topics...the average, boring dude may think, "Do you dudes ever run out of steam?" My response would be, with a fist raised in egotistical power, "No, do you HAVE a hobby?" He may respond, "Ummm, no, I am just a boring guy." KirkPA would then firmly state, with the look of the metal detecting fever on his sexy face, "Exactly! Good day to you, siiiirrrrr." (stated like an Englishman trying to act proper, but just not being able to). :D

Dudes and dudettes, PACO and finally got to the topic of "Where we would swing our White's metal datectas the next day at 5 pm Eastern time." With the phone in my right hand and a pen in my left hand (I am right-handed :o), I decided to showcase my penmanship. With my left hand firmly around the pen, I decided to write out my one idea. While I wrote it down, I relayed it to PACO on the other line (I stated it like a Hispanic dude who just learned English last month), "Thay-n, PaK-oo, way coo-d hit foam tat proo-duces all time." PACO seemed troubled, "Kirk, seriously, state that in normal English." Kirk (Benito was my Spanish name in high school) stated with gravity, "Then, PACO, we could hit the farm that produces all the time." Indubitably, Tnet forum viewers, we hit the superly productive farmy.

While creeping up to the site, I yelled to PACO, who was a foot away, "Stop here, PACO!" So, he did stop, and I got my metal detecting butt out of his truck to unload my treasure equipment. Indeed, dudes, I am a treasure hunter, so I purchase equipment that seeks treasure. :D I was walking into the meadow while PACO was shifting gears and speeding off to his destination: another part of the farm that he wanted to check out.

I datected the meadow with very litte luck today...I got 3 musketballs...I almost threw them...they gave me half dime readings, dam* it. :D After about an hour here, I decided to walk my way to the Colonial field. At that moment, I got a call over my intercom, "Kirk, I just got a wilver. I won't tell you what it is, so you better get your a$$ over here."

Now, dudes, "over here" was about a mile away, so being the athletic dude that I am, I put my detector on my shoulder and started to jog to where he was at. This was when it got interesting. :D While jogging, I got disoriented on where I was actually located in relation to my good amigo. After about 2 minutes of this athletic feat, I stopped and thought to myself, "Oh sh*t, I ran in the opposite direction." At that moment, I looked up and saw a big dog running in my direction, "Oh sh*t, I am not on Carl and Barb's property anymore." I accidently crossed their property marker and was in some other farmer dude's pasture...yes, his dog was charging at me, so I turned in the direction opposite to where the dog was running from and decided to put my "pedal to the metal." I ran like a MF'er for about 50 yards and then decided to glance back....that was when I saw the dog resting on his stomach...YES, dudes, I outran a dog...that just proves my speed and to think, I had a datect in my hand, so I couldn't move both of my arms...I told you I was fast. :D

I looked at the big pup and chuckled, "You can't catch me, so don't try." I then turned my back from him and continued my jog to Pac...I wasn't even out of breath. Once I arrived at PACO's metal detecting side, I stated, "Dude, I just outran a dog. Oh, what did you find?" He dropped a coin in my hand, "Heck yeah, dude, you found a Spanish half real!" I gave him a high-five. It is a little bent, but the date of 1775 is perfectly readable. He found it in a field where we had located some remnants from the past. It was starting to get dark, so we called it a day.

Here is a picture of the field where PACO recovered the wilver:

SWEET! Hey man, the dog was only helping you correct your bearings. He laid down once he saw you were back on coarse. Way to go on a very nice coin!
 

Wuper duper Wilver.

Paco strikes again.
 

SWEET find! I sort of have trouble finding any of those in my hunted out local parks...if you can imagine that. You guys locating the great sites make it happen.
 

All I can think of is. . . (I'm ROFL and trying to type with one finger) most awesome hunt story of the day :o

I would think this will move PACO up a rank or three on the KirkPA Most Awesome list. . .yes?

A big congrats on PACO's wilver and to you for outrunning the dog,

PACO will be considered for a better ranking. Some dudes will be dropping lower. LMAO

We will continue to amaze everyone with our Colonial finds.

HH!
 

Way to go Paco on your OLD Wilver!!!!! Congrats

And thanks to KirkPA for another fine post - and yea, for being so fast afoot, lol.

Great find! And another installment in the continuing saga of Kirk and Paco; the one in which we learn Spanish.
 

Awesome wilver Paco...Great editorial Kirkpa..

White's strike again!!
 

That's a beauty! Wow!

Man! I was on the edge of my seat during the dog chase scene. Glad you were able to outrun him like "Steve Majors, in the 1970's made-for-TV-series, "The Bionic Man".

Just last weekend, a lady was watching me dig a hole in her yard with that (what drives a person to metal datect) look on her face. Without her saying a word, I stated to her "This hobby is cheaper, safer and much more fun than Base Jumping". She reacted with a girlish laugh and a sexy twinkle in her eyes.

Once again. You guys push this hobby to the limit!

Congratulations on the coin and thanks for the story!

The saga usually contains my twin brother, Zoy, but he was studying his Engineering books again.

If I was 10 or 30 pounds heavier, I would have been meat for the animal. :D I also want to thank the Lord for blessing me with my speed....oh, and my metal detecting skills. :D

Hey, PACO, it is nice to hear from you on the forum! Congrats again on that great wilver coin! The MXT sucked it out of the ground.

Very true, dude, we only have about 20 or 30 high-quality coins this year...we do chuck clad for the future treasure hunters. hahaha

PACO, you rock!
 

THANKS FOR ALL THE POSTING YOU DO FOR ME......THIS SUNDAY I MAY HAVE SOME OLD VIRGIN CELLAR HOLES FOR US TO HIT. IF NOT BACK TO THE COLONIAL FARM IT IS..........

Sounds good, MXT dude, this Sundee may produce some goods. I hope we can do it! I will bring my camera and take some somewhat decent pictures.

PACO, I think I saw Ed today. I hope he doesn't infiltrate!
