*********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.

No place is ever dug out Great Job...............
Have you thought about what your goal is going to be for next year???????

Gotta love that Silver..
Goal for next year.. 1 goal I haven't reached this year was to find a ring or jewelry item and return it. So that is my goal. No number goal just to find a SEATED Coin..That may be hard to get but not impossible for my area. If I had to pick a number it would be 100

Bob- This is my 500th post, and I want to use it on your post. Congrats....it has been a great year for you. WTG!!

Thanks 99.I'm honored. It's been a great Quest. At 93 my quest was for 100. 100, 101 & 102were the same day so I had to boost it to 125.

I am amazed at it myself..Getting back into this year ( shall we say full time ) my wife wants me to find a different hobby.. SORRY HONEY BUT NO WAY
 

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

Once again THANK YOU ALL for the kind words..

I am amazed at it myself.

DOYBOY I don't think it's Talent . It's about asking permission to hunt a lot of places. 85% of the keepers were found on private property of a house that was or was about to be torn down. Small areas of hunting ground.

Talent No. LUCK yes!!! at putting the coil over a coin.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO WALK UP TO SOMEONE AND ASK...NO IS no big deal ...Move on to the next...

Nice finds! My goal for the year is 500 silver coins. I'm not sure if I'll make it or not..there's not much time left, but on the bright side, I only have 493 more to go!
