Vermont vacation

pballwiz · Aug 26, 2019

August is turning out to be a tough month for me. Silver has been elusive.
Went to Vermont for a week vacation with the family earlier this month.
Ended up finding a large cent and a sterling silver thimble while I was there. I guess I shouldn't complain but my expectations were much higher.

What kind of site did you hunt? I would be happy with those finds, especially the sterling thimble. Congrats!

Great looking Sterling Thimble Tom and the Large Cent is a very nice dig. It's older that any coin I have dug. Congrats! Trapper

Nice finds......really like the thimble.

That is actually a really great thimble I’ve been wanting one in that condition. Congrats! And a large cent for a bonus too.

Congrats on the large cent and sterling thimble.

Way to go finding the large cent. I have only found 2, both of them had holes in them. still looking for the real dropped one.

That's two bucket listers for me, a largie and a silver thimble. Nice going!

I'd be happy with the large!

Both bucket listers for me as well. Congrats!
We took a trip to PA recently and my partner wanted silver, so I found them, I wanted a LC, so he found those. [emoji1]

What did you expect to find, 1800's big silver? A GW inaugural button? Vermont was a farming area and farmers were dirt poor. Finding a large cent is a big deal. Not as easy as it looks in all the YouTube videos. And a Sterling silver thimble is still on my bucket list, so be happy with those finds!

Yes, I think big silver or GW button would have made the trip better :yes:

As far as the ease of digging a large cent, try detecting well past midnight wile constantly looking around for that bear that you keep hearing over in the brush. I kid you not. I'm from N/E Ohio. I go to the zoo when I want to see a bear.

A couple of wheats, the large cent and the silver thimble. Nothing more, I can assure you!

I go to the zoo when I want to see a bear.

Gee, what fun is that? Poor bear trapped in a cage wishing he could get out and play with you. Where's your sense of adventure? Lol!

I have never seen a bear here in RI, but I do see their scat at one spot I detect deep in the woods of Foster. I tell my friends that I'll be sure to keep the camera rolling if I ever run into one. If I lose the battle, it will be a money making video for my girlfriend to post on YouTube. If I win, I'll get a huge endorsement deal with Lesche for fending off a bear with a Sampson shovel!
