Had a chance to get out today for a couple of hours so I met up with a new T'net member mave2535. We headed out to an old farmstead that I've been scoping out for a few months now. We hunted an area that at one time housed some equipment and was also used to feed the field workers. The well is still open but it hasn't been used in quite some time. Mave started hitting signals right away (he definitely has the "knack" for MD'ing - very slow and methodical - he dug some pretty cool stuff) and then it was my turn. My first signal turned out to be a pre-1933 store token - all I can read on the front is 2 1/2 cents, ---- products only - and on the reverse it reads - "not good after July 31st, 1933". There are words around the edge on both sides but they are unreadable. Dug a few pieces of "junque" and then I hit a solid quarter signal showing at six inches. I dug a good sized plug and found nothing - ran the coil over it again and still had a solid signal but now at four inches. Had Chris run over it with his Prizm IV and the same thing. I widened the hole a bit and ran the pinpointer through - I finally got a hit in the side of the plug. Needless to say when I saw silver I started shaking a bit. I called Chris back over so he could see it before I pulled it out - I gently pulled the coin from the ground and saw it was a Barber quarter - 1907"D". I actually had to step back and take my headset off for a few minutes. Chris got a kick out of seeing me holding this thing with my hands shaking. Although it's not a valuable piece - it's my first "big" silver and it sure is pretty. We ended up having to leave shortly after but we'll certainly be back there soon. It was my first time MD'ing with another person (aside from my daughter) and I gotta' say, it was a lot of fun. We had a beautiful day and we didn't get skunked so I really couldn't ask for anything more. Thanks for stoppin' by and keep on swingin'...
