Triple Silver Thanksgiving Hunt

[Carolina Tom]

I was an absolutely beautiful warm sunny Thanksgiving day in NC.

Tnetter Todd Lipe tricked me into going hunting with him, instead of participating in the traditional family holiday celebration. And boy am I glad he did. He used the "guaranteed to find silver coins" trick on me, I fall for that every time.

We met up just before 8:00AM and headed to a little hick-town up the road. The place is rundown and has lots of vacant lots where houses used to stand. There are several blocks of just grass lots. The locals only dug the easy coins, so a good machine and a little patience can produce results.

Here is what I was able to find:
- Two stamped brass "relics". Please feel free to ID either, as they look like pieces of junk to me.
- Three wheat cents, the oldest was 1918.
- Three Mercury dimes... '29, '37 and '40. Something happened to the '40, I don't know what, but it is super thin and eaten up. It was covered with a soft gray "paste"... looked like caulk. When I removed it (brass brush), there was not much left of the coin. Any ideas what happened to this coin?

YTD silver coin count: 77

I hope that you had a happy Thanksgiving. Thanks for looking and best of luck on your hunts!

You turkey, congrats on your last few hunts and pulling multiple silvers. Looks like you and the Deus are getting along just fine.

Thanks LD. The Deus has really done well for me. I have had it for 17 months and it has found 127 silver coins... including 7 silver half dollars. I have to give a shout out to Vino, he really helped me to get a better grasp on the machine.

Best of luck to you brother!

With a light schedule at work, I have had more time to hunt. Todd took me on a nice hunt yesterday. I had three silvers by 10:25AM.

You know exactly what a "Vino" is!

Todd got a bucket list coin yesterday, hopefully he will put up a post shortly. He was so happy... I threw up a little in my mouth! His happiness makes me physically ill.

What the heck you do from 10:25 to dark? Sit around hugging your Silver and texting? And letting Todd rub your lucky token so he could catch up? I think based on his Great find you need to keep Lucky Token to yourself or charge people to touch it

Awesome day, congrats Tom The brass item with the oval-shaped opening appears to have been the front of a hinged photo frame. The other item appears to have been a section off of a linked belt, with each piece sporting a "stone" of some kind. Super silver saves too. Sub

Man those Mercs sure took a beating. They look like Beez rubbed 'em tween his fingers for a few years before finally turning them loose! Congrats!

Thanks Sub. I think that you have both items pegged correctly. I was trying to make the picture frame into a cover for a door bell...

Great Thanksgiving hunt Tom! Those silvers and brass relics are cool. I think detecting should be the new traditional Thanksgiving celebration. ha Vino really shattered the learning curve with me and the Deus too. My first two times out I had some of the best hunts I've ever had.... no silvers yet, but tons of relics and brass and coppers with it. When I do get a silver with the Deus, it'll be a old one that's for sure!

Good, hard hunting Thomas! Might be two of the ugliest silver dimes I've ever seen but they sure are pretty anyway.

 

[NW Digger]
