Today's Adventure
This mornings hunt started off on the wrong foot. Got to the woods this morning and the entrance was closed off.
Gave Lookn4seated a call to let him know and find out how far out he was. He got turned around and wasn't sure exactly where he was and asked me to look on my phone and get him back on track. I finally tracked down his location on the map and then proceeded to give him the wrong directions taking him 20 minutes out of the way.
My apologies again Jon!
After giving him the correct directions he finally got to where I was parked and luckily I had scoped the area the night before and we hit up another woods. After about an hour John had a goody and I had crap. We were both tired of the undergrowth at this location so we left and cruised back to the first site to see if the enterance was open yet. It was still closed!
We headed down to the next enterance to the woods and it was open so we pulled in and came up with a game plan to just walk the extra distance to get to the site we really wanted to hunt. This hike was looooong. The trail we started on thinned out and then stopped. We kept pushing through and an times were almost on our knees but we finally got there and the hunt was on.
After a couple of hours hitting this section pretty hard(You know which one LowBatts!) I had 3 wheaties to show for and LFS had a few of his own. We decided to take 5 and Jon had an idea to push the boundaries of the area out a little more and it payed off. My second silver! Jon got a goodie too.
Not "AS" old as some of the other silver thats been found there but I'll take it.
So, at this point Jon needed to head out so started making our way back both swinging the coil. We made a slight detour and checked out another section of woods(Where the feeding trough was across from the Clorox bottle dump). Jon got a few other goodies and I found another wheat.
We decided to call it a day, put the coils up and made are way back to the cars. Man it was a hike.
All in all it was an great day to get out and pound the spot where a few silvers have come up and be able to pull out a few more.
What was the icing on the cake is when we drove past the closed off enterance, it was open.
Go figure.

I was lucky enough that Jon was able to find it a couple of feet behind where I noticed it was missing. So essentially we both found a half dollar today.
