Well, I had a great Thanksgiving and hope you all did the same. I had about three hours to spare Thanksgiving morning so I met up at the convenience spot- the camp. I met up with Kermit and Mike. I was in speed-swinging mode due to time restraints. I headed out into the field for some nickel-hunting, and pulled out the 1957 and the 1943 silver. Kermit found a buffalo not too far from me. I'd really like to extend my sincerest appreciation for whoever buried the shiny zinc pennies down about 8-9 inches in the field. No explanation can express the feeling I had when I got that zinc cent signal at 9 inches, dug a plug in unusually-soft dirt, expected to find an Indian, but instead found a lovingly-placed 2005 penny sans crust. It was just...great.
Today, I headed over to Watercolor's spot for some woods digging, and saw that Kermit was there already. A little later, we were joined yet again by Mikewaz. Let me tell you, it was some hard digging today. Finds were far and few in between, but we all got some oldies. Mike had the best day, I'd say, especially in regards to the silver he pocketed. I also gained a new appreciation for his hunting skill. First, he dug an early Merc I had walked right over a minute or two earlier, and then I watched him extract another merc from six inches out of that trashy field, the same field that I can't even find a clad dime in! Kermit came through too, although he nearly left Lescheless.
Watercolor showed up toward the tail-end of our hunt and it was great seeing him. I'm probably out of commision this weekend, got too many things going on, so I'll have to rely on you guys to post your finds (Kermit! Get your seated half out of Goio Park!).
Wheats are: 1918, 24, 34, 4?, 41, 41, 44, 57, 58. Also dug the 1903 IH at Watercolor's spot.
Take care guys.............Joe
