Great find by my......son!!!!!:clapping:

[NebTrac]

Last Friday I took my son out for some detecting for the first time. He was using a Pioneer 505 (Bounty Hunter) that I had. We took a 30 minute 4-wheeler ride to an old Sod House. If you can imagine when you trek that far into the Nebraska Sandhills and get to the site no one has lived at for 50+ years, its a good feeling.

Having hunted a number of houses and getting used to "Canning" lids at 8 inches, I didn't feel too optimistic. My very first signal was a '09 VDB wheat at 5". Now some of you might think that is a super sign....but to me its usually meant I won't find another coin the rest of the hunt. But today was not that day.

Ended up with 2 wheats ('09 and '55d) and the '45 war nickel. I'd been checking Tallin's signals and helping him dig. So I was pleasantly surprised when we dug up the '44s Filipinas One Centavo. Most unusual for Central Nebraska. My son was more pleased when I'd told him he had found something his dad has never found. Great Job Tallin.

Tell your son congrats and the wife that if she finds any Etrac accesories at the bottom of the closet send them my way!! It's like Christmas when I tear into my storage area I find stuff I forgot I had, which is kinda like finding treasure while detecting.

Hey Troy-------What a neat story, thanks for sharing.----I CAN imagine how good of a feeling it is going back into a place like that as my family lived/ranched back in those Nebraska sandhills in the old days.---Grandpa didn't give it up & come to town (retire) till he was old.--------Congratulations on that great find Tallin, that's really something to get excited about! ------------Del

Nice find Tallin!


Neb...I'm gonna have a talk with LuAnn the next time I see y'all...oh and the VDB is cool!

 

[E-TREC-Virginia]

Way to go. Congrats to you and Tallin. Some of my best memories were of my dad and I metal detecting for CW relics when I was a teenager. I'm so glad that my dad got me into the hobbie, as I am still doing it 39 years later. If my dad was not living in Florida now, I would still be going out with him. Oh, and the wife was looking for your hidden treasures. Anything missing?
