LOUIS ALL BUT THE RAIN IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD DAY. HH PHIL :beers:

Phil's reaction to his find was worth the price of admission. PICTURE THIS....I'm a good 100 to 150 feet away in my "zone" and totally concentrating on my hunting...when I hear this unearthly bellowing in the distance. It sounded like something off of Wild Kingdome.:crylol: I slightly turn ...and out of the corner of my eye I see this hopping blur in the distance. It's jumping up and down...barking out some kind of gibberish...and flapping it's arms wildly:laugh:
I've just sighted BIGFOOT?....or some kind of prehistoric creature?....NO it's just Phil...in dire need of a clean pair of shorts:crylol::bouncy:
Now on a more serious note...NICE find brother:thumbup: We'll do it again real soon:smoke:
 
You got 2 Coins that I probably will never find unless I leave the State and head east. I could see maybe finding a Large Cent sometime but a 3-Cent Piece would be the tougher one since they are really small. Good to see you fella's had a great time out detecting after the rain passed and hope your Luck continues. Good Luck and HH on your next adventures in Treasure Hunting.:thumbup:
 
Those are some great finds, Phil. Looks like the large cent cleaned up ok. I can't believe it was still there being only 3" deep. I guess maybe some people
try that area & encounter the nasty clay & all the rocks & pieces of brick & decide to head somewhere else. If it hadn't been for the Barber Quarter being found nearby in that area last month, I doubt if I would have spent much time there, either. That's also the first time I have ever seen a 3 cent silver coin.
I knew they were small, but that it TINY! I wonder if it even sounded like silver. I'll bet it sounded more like a penny or even a zinc penny.

Take care & HH.
Dan.
 
THANKS DAN IT MADE MY DAY :super: THANK YOU FOR THE ID ON THE COIN WHEN I FOUND IT, I DIDN'T HAVE MY GLASSES ON THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A SLUG IT HAD SO MUCH ROCK STUCK TO IT.

THATS RIGHT IM A DIGING THOSE CRITTERS. :yikes: THERE HAD TO BE SOME IRON IN THERE SOMEWHERE BUT WITH THE GROUND SO HARD I SAID THE HELL WITH LOOKING :shrug: HH PHIL :minelab:
