Friday I got out for 5 hours, and pulled one more barber dime happydance02, which would be my final and 516th silver coin <: for 2011. Saturday I spent a good long time at a 1700s field which in 3 previous hunts, has only given up one old coin, an 1800 Spanish silver, and a handful of old relics including an old silver ring. The odds of pulling an old coin from this site are low, but I wanted to end the season with a big fish.
It didn't happen, tho I did pull 6 what appear to be musket balls :crazy:. They TID as lead, and are the right size, from the right sort of site, and are similar to ones I've pulled before; I'm just suspicious of some of the deformities and the fact that I found so many, so I'm not so sure. Just not sure what else they might be.
Well, the season was a dream season I don't think I'll ever come close to repeating as the honeyholes get depleted, and become harder and harder to find. But it was certainly a blast, aided by the luck of warm weather into the winter (which simply pulled the numbers in from 2012 to 2011, to be honest). Below the recent finds are the yearend pics, now in a safe deposit box for my son and hopefully his children.
And here's to a fun and successful 2012 season for everyone :beerbuddy: Thanks for looking and HH.
