For the last several days, I have this one thought constantly pop into my head, go to this beach...go to this beach... well, me and my arm all wrapped up in two braces went.. I figured, heck, I will go a short time so I dont hurt myself any worse.. all this took place in 10 minutes.. I got there... stood looking and turned to the rite side of the beach, high tide it was, but I was in such withdrawl it wasn't funny, so the tide didnt matter. I had even said to my hubby.. I got to go to this beach..I got a feeling... well, I dug my first hole, I find a severally worn down Indian head nickel..so worn you can barely see it... I was thrilled... My second hole, I get that high pitched sweet sound of silver... I start to dig..and what do I see, but the backside of a beautiful standing liberty... I LITERALLY stood up..and did a jig on the beach.. I was sooooooo excited it wasn't funny.. me, by myself, dancing round the beach, yelling YAY me... then I calmed down real fast as the van, with the west Va. tags was watching me.. I thought, oh great and here I am jumping like a fool...so inside I was a busting all over... it was great..MY FIRST STANDING LIBERTY... so my time was up as I was hurting..jumped in my car. locked the doors like I found this huge cache..and grabbed the cell to tell my hubby... his reply was.. YOUR s &$*(&$ me.. said NOPE I GOTS IT... so finally I am doing better...thinking, where did they all hang out years n years ago... I am so very proud of myself and what a rush... She may not be purdy to look at and ya cant see her date, but to me she is the most beautiful thing I ever saw..and she's MINE...
thanks for listening...

Congratulations, Rae!! I know just how you feel, you'll be on that cloud nine for months. You'll never forget this day, too bad no one was around to get you on camera whooping and hollering and doing your happy dance. Wonder just how many of the other T-Net females found a SLQ?

rae,
Way to go. Nice find, the kind that makes your heart pump extra hard. I am soooo happy for you. Too bad you didn't have more time to hunt while the 'window' is open. Hope your arm starts healing soon so you can get out there and load up on the silver. I am so happy for you. HH Highwater
 

Real nice Booty. I knew you'd start gettin' the hang of your new detector. WTG.

I knew you would get there in the end with the coin/s. Not where I expected you would get it but who cares, it will be the first of many.
 

Fired up! fired up! Yes this is great...it is zero degrees going down to 10 below! So what am I doing?? reading this and wanting to get out! Hey take it easy...the finds will be there! I have been busy lately...but wanted to take the time to reply to your post because I know what finding that silver meant to you! :) 8)

Hope your recovery goes well..also wanted you to know yes the rumors are true I am adding the Minelab Explorer se to my arsenal...but I am keeping the dfx also...so any questions I can help with let me know... :)
 

I still have that gut feeling..so am going to go for a very short time again today.. I think if I find something again today, I will fall rite on the ground... wish me luck.. either way..am going to just enjoy the cold air...and I have a thing anyways with water... love being near it... so alls well in joisey...
 

Whoop! Whoop! It is awesome to have a fellow...uhhh....another female in this hobby! How exciting for you. Keep it up! Happy Hunting.
