The Dynamic Duo does it again!!! LOL Tim (DeepBeeps) and I work great as a team. I have the ability and job to know every street in our two towns and there isn't a place that I haven't been since I deliver pizzas. I'm constantly on the lookout for new sites and this one has had my eye for years. It sets on a large corner lot and the buildings have been gone every since I can remember. Once I locate a site, I turn it over to the silver tongued devil... Tim could sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves! He has access to the county tax maps and does a great job of finding the owner's name. I'm a young pup I guess and can't compete with Tim's grey hair and unmistakeable voice when it comes to getting our foot in the door! When I found Tim, it was on Youtube. I started recognizing every site he was hunting and I had hunted the same ones... So, we joined forces! Tim got his 3 silvers and the Indian head tonight...I was a bit slow to get into the game. As I was standing at the site waiting for Tim to arrive, I kept thinking...This place is going to produce a large cent... It did! I got the 1853 large cent at 3 while Tim was there. He left and my next signal was another good quarter signal. I dug and dug... this thing was DEEP! It was about as deep as the length of my digger. I knew when I found it that it was the same size as a large cent, but it was much thinner. I got a date of 1833 on it on site, but I would have to give it a peroxide bath to get the rest. It turned out to be an Upper Canada 1/2 cent token that says TO FACILITATE TRADE with a plough on the front and a large Ship on the back with sails. It's my second Upper Canada token of the year..kinda wierd:huh: Here's the vid of our hunt tonight and the photos of my finds...
