Swingin' & Diggin' with FireFighter43

[Ill Digger]

It all started about a month or less ago. Jeff contacted me, asks me if I'd like to hook up for a hunt before the ground freezes? I said sure! Then he tells me he's trying to line up permission for a old camp ground site. He asked if he could line up a day, would I be interested in coming up and hunting it with him? :shocked01: Heck yeah! :yes::yahoo:So Friday was "the day"! I was so excited, I couldn't sleep Thursday night. I got about a hour and half of sleep before I left at 6 a.m. Friday morning. But with all the adrenalin running through me sleep was out of the question for now.:lol: Meet up with Jeff around 8:30 at a predetermined spot and we were swinging by 9. It took us a little while to make our way around the place. Took a little longer than we thought but shortly after we started Jeff got a wheat at 6 inches. And then ....... it began!! We found where the oldies were running, what they were sounding like, how the machines were deciphering them or displaying them back to us. And we were off! By lunch time I had a silver war nickle, a Washington quarter, and a Rosie! Plus around 20 or 25 wheat pennies. A lot of the wheaties were ringing up low. Usually for me wheaties are 42, 43 Co. 85% of these wheaties rang up 41Co. or even lower!:shocked01: Most of the oldies were deep. Around the 6 to 8 inch mark for the most part. I did get a few only a couple inches or so. By the end of the day I picked up a total of 7 silver coins and count them..... 47 wheaties!! Thats almost a whole roll of wheaties!!! :shocked04: We met at the vehicles at 4:30. We hunted for 7 hours and here's all my keepers for the day.

Silvers are: 45D, 62D Washington quarters, 42S Merc, 61D, 51 Rosies, and 45D, 43P war nickles.

Dang Timmy!! That is a HUGE bunch of keepers! Congrats and that was really nice of Jeff to share his spot with you. Of course he's got something like 9,000 silvers this year so he is good at finding them spots. HH, Dave.
