Video First hunt of 2013... Found some foreign silver

[Gonehunting]

We have had some snow and ice, it wasn't much, but it was enough to keep me in. It melted off and the temp hit the high 20's.. so off I went.. I returned to a yard that I had been hunting in the past, but haven't gotten to take the CTX to.. With the soil good and damp, I figured even the deepest targets would sing out and sure enough targets that had been gone over were ready to go home with me..
I hunted the end of the lot where the sidewalk was and was hearing and dug a few clad coins so I moved up into the yard, and immediately, the first target of the day, was my oldest.. It was around the 7 to 8 inch mark... Silver!

It is a seated liberty but there is hardly a design on it.. I had to get out the loop to even see the outline.
The next target was a big shock cause I wasn't expecting it..lol especially after just joining here.. talk about ironic..

This is why I like to detect, because no matter where you are.. someone has already walked that path or sidewalk and lost something.. you never know what will pop up!!

I know its not that old but I love it.. it is my second oldest Canadian coin I have found....
After those two everything else was just icing on the cake..

a 1900 Indian head cent.. It has an old scratch right across the face but was rather deep so, I don't know what happened.


Next coming in as a 12-14 12-15, I was surprised to see the reddish disc.. although I couldn't find a date, any day a Vickie shows is a good day...

no date Liberty "V-Nickel"


I did find a few wheats 2 where newer, but two were around the dates of the others.. one was a 1919(very common) and this 1913...

I found some relics including a tag from Oklahoma City, but the last target of the day was this 1919 Mercury..

I did video the hunt....if you watch the intro there is a dog sunning behind me and he is breaking wind,, and I can hear it.. thats why I keep looking over my shoulder.. I didn't realize he was even there till I cut the camera off...





Thanks for reading and I hope this is a sign of whats coming in 2013..

Way to go GH, you've got a great site there! Congrats on a nice assortment of finds. I've never heard a V (Liberty) nickel called a Vickie before. I only thought that was for Canadian coins with Queen Victoria on them. Thanks for posting.

That was something that my dad had called them 30 years ago.. and it just stuck.. I have heard others call them that but just something I caught from him... thanks for the view..

thanks.. the soil on this lot changed from wet to muddy to dry, in less than an acre.. it had red clay, a black soil and rocky soil.. It's on a side of hill that has been in continual use since about 1898...
