Recieved permission this morning to hunt an old farmhouse. I was finding alot of nothing when I got nice sounding 83 at 7". This property was filled with roots and this hole was no exception. After struggling through the roots the pinpointer sounded off right under a 2" root. Finessing it out I was rewarded with an LC. As I wiped the coin I noticed it was right facing so I said awesome and stuck it in my pouch. As I was leaving, I went to see if I would be able to return another time and pulled it out of my pouch and wiped a little more and low and behold it said 1797!!!! After I got home I ran it under some water and the dirt is what was saving the date I guess because it went away, unless you really struggle to see it. Really happy about this one. I did manage a few wheats as well but again the Lancaster County silver poor curse hits again. P.s. I can return so hopefully I can pick another goodie out of the roots. HH!
