Continuing education can be fun.

On Monday and Tuesday Jamie and I went back to school.
We both had great a great day on Monday.
Due to the fact that we were working in a large field we were texting our finds back and forth.
We were tied on the finds when he left for the day and the texts were tit-for-tat all day long.
These are my finds for the two days in chronological order. When you find two 68 dimes in one hole it sure is easy to see which one is silver. This one has me scratching my noggin.
It gave a nice squeaky high tone.
And had the appearance of old silver when it came out. There are no markings inside or out.
That is a thin strip of mica that was inside. This is a pocket magnifier. When this one came out of the ground my thoughts were "this is a strange token".[

That is until I realized what it was.
Boy are these things huge. At this point in the day we were tied and Jamie left to make dinner. On my way back to the car this quarter showed in the nicest of ways. His reply to the last text was sort of a growl.
Not to be out done he returned with his brother later in the evening and put the nail in my coffin for the day.
Anywho, these are my coin finds from Monday. On Tuesday we were not alone out in the field. The day was not as exciting for either of us on Tuesday but some finds were made none the less.

Sure you're not finding & losing & finding this ring over & over again like Groundhog Day? It's very cool! Lol!!

[2ndoldman]

I am positive Deb. Each one is different. 😊

This tiny silver ring was just a blip in the headphones.
Not bad for a 17" coil at better than 6 inches deep. Many of you will think that I have horseshoes up my posterior when you see my silver count.
But it really is a numbers game.
71 pennies on Monday and 77 pennies on Tuesday make for a lot of deep knee bends and frustration. And a lot of the trash also sounds good enough to be a possibility of silver.
Some of those aluminum twist caps when the are on edge and 5 inches down sound so nice.

Strangely enough with all of the digging in the last two days there was very little recyclables found. Here is that magnifier cleaned up.
And another whistle for the collection to boot.

Hey Bruce, Looks like a fun hunt. Man look at that green grass. Our deer are eating cedar bows.

[2ndoldman]

Thanks Ron. Ever since leaving Ontario, just north of you, I have been spoiled with green grass all year long.

[Hoss]

Wow you did good!

[2ndoldman]

Thank you Matt. It was one of my better hunts this year.

Another fun hunt with some fantastic finds.

[2ndoldman]

It was fun Johnny. Made even more so by having a buddy that day.

No harpoons that has got to be a first. Coin heavy hunt it looks like also. Is that a blacktail deer?

[2ndoldman]

Those harpoons are my least favorite thing to find I must say.
But they are better off in my trash shots than stuck in some kids foot because their mother was not watching them.
