Howdy Folks!
The wind was blowing so hard this morning I almost decided against going out to hunt.
While the temperature climbed into the low 50's, the wind had an icy chill to it. As a
result, I only hunted 2 spots today, with a break between them to stave off hypothermia!
My first hunt netted maybe a buck fifty in clad, and I believe the silver dime I found came
from the first location I hunted. Since I forgot my glasses at home, I couldn't have gotten
a good fix on the date anyhow. Besides, it wasn't until I was laying them out to photograph
that I noticed one looked different and when examined with my loupe, I discovered it to be
a nice 1946 Rosie!
After an hour or better hunting the first location, with minimal finds, I was chilled to the
bone. I ran a few errands in hopes of regaining some body heat. Visited my tobacconist
and got my favorite blend for the pipe, and followed that with a trip to Whole Foods
Market to get some of our favorite ham and other goodies.
Then I headed north to my second location. It wasn't long after I got there that I found
a nice bracelet. I stuck it in my pocket because without glasses, I surely wouldn't see the
925 stamped inside the band until I got home and checked it with my loupe. Sure enough,
it is silver and hefty too. Anyhow, I digress.
I continued my hunt and came upon a real nice signal and started working my way down
to the target. I saw a part of it sticking up through the ice, and could see immediately
that this was silver. Glasses or no glasses, this was definately silver. I set to work with
my rock hammer, busting out a clod big enough to avoid damaging the silver item. After
some vigorous swinging, the rock hammer broke through underneath the clod and it
came loose. After a bit more work, I found it to be a necklace of about 20 inches and
heavy. So with the sun setting, the temperature dropping and the wind still blowing,
I decided to head on home before I turned blue or something.
My take today was:
14 Quarters = $3.50
8 Nickels = $0.40
9 Dimes = $0.90
35 Pennies = $0.35
Total = $5.15
Coin Count = 56 Coins.
Plus the silver dime, which isn't included above.
In addition,
1 Silver Bracelet, stamped 925
1 Silver Necklace, also stamped 925.
Thanks for Looking,
Blessings,
