Even surgery can't hold back goes4ever...3 indians in the field today

As you all know I had surgery on my right arm dec 28th, and I cannot dig. I swing with my left arm, dig with my right, so I am pretty much out of luck!

My wife told me this morning she knows how bad I wanted to detect and I was going stir crazy, the sun was shining and it was near 50 degrees in Ohio in January!!! She said if we went to a field where no one would bug us, she would dig my signals for me! man, you just can't beat that! It was a blast, first indian of 2012 was a 1865, good start to the year. My wife said she wanted to swing the etrac, cause she wanted to find an old coin. She got a solid 12-24 and I knew what I was thinking.....fatty indian or shotgun shell. Well of course she is lucky, and the very first old coin my wife ever digs in her life is a 1859 fatty indian. You can see the date with a loupe, plus it has no shield on the back, only fatty indian without a shield. It is pretty toasted, but you cannot beat finding a 153 yr old indian for your first old coin....lol
Another 1883 indian came to light plus a nice crotal bell, a brass heart, and several odds and ends. Great day in the field with my wife, having a personal digger is pretty cool, I could get use to that!

Here is a video from today as well:

Simply awesome Terry you are an inspiration mate. My wife is almost there but she is a bit of a Princess when it comes to dirt under the nails. I have offered to dig for her but no luck yet. Great finds as per usual and I have learned so much from you thanks Mark Williams.
 
Hey Terry, Nice way to start the 2012 season. Hope you have a quick and full recovery. One more question.....DOES YOUR WIFE HAVE A AVAILABLE SISTER?:clapping::laugh:. But seriously you cant beat a partner like that. HH.
 
I had shots and therapy for my right shoulder last year at this time.It took 3 months to get my shoulder back to normal,and no my wife wouldn't dig for me. So you are a lucky guy!
 
super hunt! talk about dedication!..what a rush! good for you!
your wife's a sweetheart!

(h.h.!)

Awesome finds G4E and excellent job Mrs.G4E. This is an amature question, but listening to your video you state that an Indian from 1859 to 1864 is a fatty. I found an 1864 and it is the same thickness as all my other Indians found. Is there a different mint that makes them a Fatty? I only ask because I never knew the difference.

Congrats on finds and thanks for video, much needed for us in snow.

1859 to 1864 the indian was made from a copper nickel composition, and they were thicker. The reason people say a "fatty"

also in 1864 they started making bronze indians, same composition as all other indians. So in 1864 there was a copper nickel AND a bronze variety
 
Hope you recover soon and feeling better

Just a small warning, my husband let me swing and look what happened

Congrats on the Wife and the Indian's

P.S. I hope your sister-in-law's do not read the Forum Posts
 
Great job goes. I feel your pain in my elbow - off to the doc as well.
Speedy recovery

Great hunt !:thumbup:
I,ve been a hankern to do some field hunting where an old school once was
and after seeing your video and others I cant hardly wait!:detecting:
 
Sounds like she has been wanting to go!
also sounds like a very caring person.
Tell her congrats on the find, she will be hooked on detecting!

Nice maybe I need my wife to dig for me too. I hope you get better ! :twodetecting:
 
That was mighty nice of your wife to go with you. I noticed you were using the 6x8 sef in the open field. Was that because it is easier to get around in the stubble or is the field loaded with trash?
Glad you were able to get out.
