Todays Cold Hunt After Work. -14C/6.8F"

[John-Edmonton]

Quick 2 hour hunt after work got me just under $10.00. All tax free too! (shhhhhhhhhhhhh!)

 

[TerryEastTexas]

Nice finds John. I can't imagine going outside when it's that cold much less metal detecting. You must have some polar bear in ya.

 

[hoser]

Terry, the cold really don't bother you too much if you are dressed well. I would be out too if the ground was bare. Heck, its been in the thirties here, for January, thats like summer.

It reached the 50s up (I should say over) here, Bill. I grabbed "Blackie's" case and went to the little ball field that I found my 1831 dime AND my 1852 3-center in, but just feelin' the ground under my feet, I could tell that all that rain we had, didn't thaw the ground out at all.
They musta hauled in that topsoil from somewhere that was frequented, 'cause that's just too lucky for me!
This is what them babies look like:

Wow John. 6.8 degrees is wayyy too cold for me even if my hair was on fire. I spent too many years in the tropics apparently, lol. Good finds there and tax free money is the best kind of money you can get!

Krom, those are some sweet looking coins. Sure wish I lived back east. It would make finding beauties like that a little easier.

 

[hoser]

Yesser-ree! those are some real nice coins Joe. You can take it to the bank that I'll be out just as soon as I see bare ground again.

 

[Krom]

... an' you find things that we'll never find over here, too, OD... don't forget that. (they are pretty tho', ey?)

 

[Krom]

Hey Hoser...? This isn't meant to hurt {giggle}... but after that last rain we jus' had... there isn't ONE freakin' snowflake in sight anymore ('cept th' wife... polishin' her CZ-3D! )... but we do still have that d$#@ frost! :o(

Thanks, Epi-Hunter. I had a very hard time believin' what I had in my hand, when I pulled BOTH of them out of the ground. Both times, I thought they were play money at first sight!!!

Sorry John... back to you!

 

[OkieDigger]

The only thing I can get here that you can't is...well nothing, lol.

 

[Krom]

Well... what you do is, go to the historical society and...
(oh wait... the OHS Research Department is in the Wiley Post Building. I hope that isn't "Coyote"...!?!) J/K ya, man. Had ta!

great finds people!! wish i could break the top soil of my lawn. went out today had a real nice strong signal and tried to dig it and to no avial was i able to even break a stem of grass. the flame thrower didnt help much either. krom i looked up your 10c as i always do to see what the value of the finds on the site are and yours is sweet 1831 was comeing in at a nice 325.00 for 2005 in the witman red book i would think the quality of yours is no less then an au-50 great job .just my oppinion though im no coin expert the bugguy from the great state of NH

 

[hoser]

OK Joe, here, I'll unbutton my shirt. Just reach right in and tear out the heart.

 

[TerryEastTexas]

Hoser I don't think I could put that many clothes on without lookin like an overfilled balloon.
Those coins are sweet Krom.

 

[Krom]

Thanks all.
Hey John... (so sorry for snippin' your string) how come you got more big coins than small ones? People up your way rather safeguard the smaller ones? That's a lot of Loonies (and, what are they, elk?) compared to the pennies.

 

[WThesing]

Another guy with amazingly clean finds!!!!!!

Joe, Awsome coins!!!!!! I have hit a 1780's farmstead 5 times and only came up with one 1900 Barber Quarter, and hundreds of memorial pennies.

I seem to be comming up with the right places to go, but not much on quality coins.

 

[HobBob]

NICE finds John!! You just blew any excuses I had about it being too cold out the window!
