*********THE " QUEST " FOR 125 IS A " SWEET FIND " ********

The quest for 125 silver coins for 2006 is over.

TNET member VISCERAL and I decided to go out M D'ing today.
While driving to go do a bunch of tear downs I noticed an old home that sat on big chunk of land. While passing it I was pointing it out to Pat and then noticed a guy standing on the porch. I said. I'm turning around and going back to ask permission. As I pulled into the gravel drive Pat said something about a masters touch.
I drove up to the gentleman and explained about our M D'ing hobby and the asked if it would be O K to look for coins. He said " GO AHEAD " He also said. That there was a guy here in the summer doing it." Lets go for it" we both said.

I pulled a wheatie out in a matter of minutes. Pat joined in and started pulling coins up too.
About 1/2 hour into the hunt VISCERAL pulled up a beautiful 1928 S L Q .
While he was pulling wheaties and a SLQ I was pulling up the OSMOPLASTIC 1956( It's a tag of a fungicide in the treatment of soil )( Thanks Google ) I got 4 of them in a 5 foot area.I gave the owner 1 and also gave the owner a dog tag 1987 that I found from 1 of his dogs. He didn't want anything. He said.

All that was pulled up from our short hunt was 25+( 35+ ) Wheaties 1928 SLQ 7 tokens ( 4 of which were the same ) only 4 memorial pennies and a quarter

I found THE QUEST FOR 125 COIN under where the old clothes line use to be.

BOY What A COIN >>>>>>for the 125th.


A 1952 D SILVER Ben Franklin HALF

What great stuff. The Ben Franklin half is beautiful. The tokens are cool, too. Nice bunch of finds. Wonder what the previous detectorist found? I bet he'd kick himself if he ever learned about your finding the 50 cent piece!!!!! hahahaha Just proves that no place is ever "hunted out." Congratulations to you for reaching your goal.

Re: *********THE " QUEST " FOR 125 IS A " SWEET FIND " ********

Congrats on reaching your goal!Beautiful half.WTG.Like those tokens too.
 

Re: *********THE " QUEST " FOR 125 IS A " SWEET FIND " ********

1954 GM Motorama commemorative token, silver stuff came out nice. About 20 wheaties and various clad.
Strange thing is looks like someone stamped the letter M on the bottom right of the SLQ for some reason.
Bottom 2 pics are my first silvers of the year with my new machine. Mr Bob proves to be good luck.

Re: *********THE " QUEST " FOR 125 IS A " SWEET FIND " ********

Nice site, just think all it takes is those magic words. Would you mind or care if I metal detect your yard? Worst they can say is no, but if they say yes, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh what a day it can be.

Great finds and thanks for the pictures. '

Great finds gentlemen....

Visceral..The small M that appears to the right of the date is the designer's initial.

Great Pictures Pat.

I forgot about the silver medal.
The "M" is the designers mark. It stands for Herman A. MacNeil.

Awesome finds VISCERAL. I didn't realize you got 20 wheats . There is more silver out there . We barely covered any ground.

Thanks again....
