I'm back... and got in my 1st hunt of 2012...

[CTDirtFisher]

Hello all...

I've only been able to lurk as of late... I still have 70+ direct reports with 6 major global projects ongoing... but we've installed a few people that are managing some of the day to day work for thier groups...

Then... yesterday I ripped a room apart to start a house project... Ceiling is down, all trim and baseboard has been removed... 4+ hours sanding the floor (last night and this am)... and I snuck out for 2.5 hours to get in my first outing since late in November...

I headed to Indian Park... named as such as it has yielded me 50+ indians over the last 18 months...

and guess what my 2nd coin of the hunt was :-)

The park people removed a large tree and there is a good indent left from where it was... 2 down along the outter lip... 8/35... and here is:

1887 Indian Head

and it wasn't 10 minutes later...

1909 Indian Head Penny << Where is the stinking S :huh:

I was able to nab my 1st silver of the year as well... This signal started as a 12/40 12/41 and I was thinking Wheatie... but when I got closer the X1 was reading 12/44...

1896 Barber Dime

The next keep took me another 45 minutes to find...

1887 Indian Head Penny

I thought this target was going to by my 4th Indian Head for the day... but I was fooled :peace:

As I was walking a line back to the car I recovered a wheatie...

It was 34 when I arrived @ 9am... and 48 @ 11:30 as I drove off... 3 Indians and a Barber dime... Good start to 2012... :-)

Welcome back, Paul! We've missed hearing about your great finds and seeing your terrific photos! It looks like you are taking up right where you left off! thumbsup01

That 1909 Indian Head must have been brand new when it was dropped. Very nice that you got some 1800s silver too!

Great start to the year! We hope to be hearing from you a lot more.

[Cheap Thrills]

But boy! You made good use of a couple of hours today!! :clapping:
Indian park held up to it's name today! And it even give up a little 1800's silver! Sweet!! <:
What is the U.S. Navy discharge thing? Is that a cuff link? Or a decorative collar button or something?
