Back with the Weekend's Finds. Only cost me a Fender and a Door! Part:1.:thumbdown:

And besides, the Van only has 14" Wheels and low clearance and that's all I would have needed, a Deer lodged under the Vehicle until it ground down enough to slide out. Way too messy and really cruel. :nono:
 
Dale and I went out to a Farm Field where a Picnic Spot was suppose to be located. There was nothing there except a small L shaped Tree Belt on the corner. We worked and worked and finally I found the only Coin there, a Merc. Now if that wasn't Luck, I don't know what is. Then there was another time that I was detecting a Church Yard Site and was finding Old Coins but not at a fast rate. Anyways, I just got done digging a Wheat Penny and got up and started detecting. I was looking around and then looked down at the ground. When I did this, I thought I seen a 28 ID on my Digital but no sound was made due to Iron. I backed up and got the ID again but no sound. I dug it and a Merc came out of the ground. Was this Luck? You tell me! And lastly, Dale and I heard about a Church and a Town Hall so we went to check them out. The Church didn't give anything up but the Cemetery Parking Lot did. Then we moved down to the Town Hall that was about a Half-Mile away. We got out and Dale detects the entire top of the Ditch there. I was detecting in the Yard and found a 1916 Wheat. I then started Detecting towards the Ditch area that Dale had just done. I get right into the path of where Dale had just detected and get a 28 on Digital. I told Dale that he somehow missed this Signal but really don't know how since he was doing a Tight Pattern and this Signal would have been in the middle of his Swing. There was No Iron or Trash but a Good Threshold Hum the whole time. I dug it and a 1878 Seated Quarter pops out in Fine to Very Fine Condition. This HAD TO BE LUCK! There is times I can even call the Coin before I even get close to digging them. But that is what Rick(ND) calls my Sixth Sense. If nothing here is Luck, then please explain what Luck is. Good Luck and HH to you.;)
 
I am still looking for venison to put in my freezer so I doubt I will be able to get out before the meeting Friday. I can't find them in the field because of all the standing corn yet, and they are still getting hit on the roads...Sheesh!! I heard it is supposed to be in the 40's...Might not be bad, but if we get wind like today...Whoa!!:goodnight:
 
I could go back where I got the finds last weekend but it's a bit of a drive. There is tons more Coins in this spot but it takes time to hit them. I'm keeping an eye on the weather since this will play a big role on where I may end up at. Hope you get that Deer your after! Good Luck and HH.:detecting:
 
My Explorer XS is getting old but she keeps on tickin' and finding me lots of nice finds so replacing her would be a huge mistake. Now if I could only have had Dale along when the Deer Incident happened, I could have used his Detector on the Deer since he hasn't used it much this year. Thanks for the Hilarious Postings and see you on Friday. Good Luck and HH until then.:thumbup:
 
Between you and Tim you both have it as you can walk out of the car and hit the one and only coin in the whole area, I have seen it time and time again. You seem to know right where to swing the coil to find the good coins.
You now have 2 seated quarters that should have been in my pouch, but there is one out there just waiting for me to get.
 
You would think that eventually you would find one at an Old Farmstead Site that you got permission to detect at. Let's hope you get your Seated Quarter next season. Good Luck and HH.:bouncy:
 
OK, OK it's luck, lucky you took Dale with you that day cause if it were me, I'd have dug that Seated quarter in front of you cause I'm kind of lucky too.:rofl: In fact I may be luckier than you. Took the wife and kids to Kansas for a little mini vacation, metal detecting trip. On my way back, I barely missed four different deer, 2 cats, 1 possum and a raccoon with my truck in a 2 1/2 drive home. My wife asked me if I had some kind of animal attracting magnet on the front of my bumper. Oh, and a rabbit ran under the wheels and did a u turn in mid stream after I had already swerved so the tires would pass over her with her in the center. I waited for the thump, thump but apparently she got lucky. Spent three days, one fighting rattle snakes, in a place I did allot of research for, that honestly didn't mention rattlers in it's old, coin rich description. However, my 2 year old thought they would be fun to pet. Luckily, he didn't get bitten. But when I got back to the motel with them, my wife acted like he lost an eyeball. So we had to pack our things and move from our nasty, 50 year old drive up, mildew infested, human pubic hair dwelling, strange stuff sticking to the walls, pretend to be Best Western motel room and travel to a real city and get a hotel with an indoor swimming pool, you know one without snakes, unless you count the one guy from room 211, but he looked like he was more apt to bite the wife than the boys. So finally, on the third day, I was by myself to hunt, went back to this little ghost town, got permission to hunt after BS'ing with 3 different people for 3 hours, only to find the river flooded the town on several occasions in the past, so there's like 18-24 inches of sediment on top of everything. To make things even luckier, these people liked to burn their abandoned buildings and better yet, kind of mash them in the ground with bull dozer's until they were absorbed (kind of like what you tried to do with that poor deer that you were to drunk with your lucky finds to notice). Well after walking in circles for hours in this forest, looking for this hand dug cave where they used to hide run away slaves, I luckily found the cave, some shackle parts and luckily what appears to be a slave tag. Lucky for me, I lugged my 5 inch coil in a pack with me just in case I ran into a nail infested hole on the way. The owner of this cave told me the town fathers used to play poker in this dirt floor cave over a hundred years ago, and after I shore up the ceiling of collapsing soil, I can sift through the floor all I want. Lucky for me I knocked on all four total stranger's doors in that town that morning, because his was the very last one. So I guess it is luck after all.:thumbup:
