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...

Hhhmmmmm...........now I know what that goofy beach dance was all about.

Fancy meeting you here...................


Glad to see a hard core digger still diggin'.....imparements be damned. ;D


Just teasin' about the beach. Great find though.
 

ALLLRIGHT BOOTYBAY!!! Date or no date an SLQ is always a welcomed addition to the collection!! Hope you get many more!!! WTG, Bootstrap
 

Finding 85-plus-year-old silver gets rid of a lot of frustration, don't it?

Many people think that eagle is one of the best-looking Reverses of U.S. coins. I know it looked good to you..
You found something that is still on a lot of people's wish lists.
That gets your '08 off to a great start, but go easy on that arm.
 

WOW way to go bootybay ! thats on my list to find ;) congrats to you ;D
 

That is a way cool find and a fine piece of writing, I felt like I was right there when you found it. I am happy for you!!

Booty,
Great find...The SLQ is on my goals list for 2008.

I was planning on braving the elements yesterday and hitting the Jersey shore but then I started working on the house which turned into a 9am to 9pm project. I guess I should get all the house work done in the cold months so I have more free time during the warmer months.

sounds like a solid plan -- use your bad weather no hunt time to work , and good weather time to MD --- very logical
 

That a great find and it seems like you just started. You caught on quickly, thanks for sharing.
