Making the 2 hour drive up to the north side of Milwaukee yesterday. I met up with Jeff about 8am. Despite the, let's just say :thinkingabout: , less desirable weather conditions. Being it was overcast with, sustained 12-18 mph winds, gusting up to 20+ mph, 48°, and raining on and off >:\ for most of the day. But like any hard core detectorists :crazy: :crazy: we put on a couple extra layers, dawned our gear, and went for it! thumbsup01 The second place we went to I found a 1952D Rosie and a wheatie. Knowing we only had about 2 hours left to hunt before Jeff had to leave we headed over to his famous picnic grove thumbsup01 :drool: After the two hours were up Jeff told me he was going to have to go but I was welcome to stay and hunt for a while. :angelic: |
) So after handshakes, thank yous and goodbyes till next times, I headed back out. He had told me where he found his Barber quarter we seen in his last video. So I decided to head for that area. I had pulled quite a few early wheaties not far from there. I wondered into the woods and about 30 ft. in I get a 8-38, 9-36 showing about 8-9 inches deep. :huh: It kinda sounded like a deep wheatie. After about a 10 minute dig, fighting through a tangle of a root web and rocks the PP was sounding off loudly! I pulled out a handful of dirt and found a small piece of nail 
Rechecking the hole the PP was still screaming at something under a 1 1/2 inch think root :hairpulling: :drool: So I pushed the dirt out from underneath of the root, grabbed the dirt and threw it on the dirt pile and the PP said it was out of the hole.
Searching though the dirt pile I see this.... :shocked04: :drool:
MY FIRST SEATED DIME!! <: :happydance01: :beerbuddy:
As soon as I finally got it together lol and got back on my feet I decided I better check the area GOOD! :yes:
I got a faint deep signal about a foot away and dug down and found not only my oldest IH but one of the nicest IH's I've ever dug! :smitten: :happydance01:
Here they are together :kiss:
The reverse sides.
Here's all the keepers together :yes: With the Rosie and the 12 wheats thumbsup01
