My last hunt of the season ??

[MNCoinhunter]

Up here in the Northwoods we are into our first week of firearms deer season. I'm not much of a deer hunter but we usually have plenty of venison in our freezer by the time it's over, thanks to my friends and my father-in-law. The weather has been very kind up to this point. Woke up today to 48 degrees so I figured I better get out and hit it as hard as possible. Went to a home built in the 20's and now abandoned .. 1918-D merc was nestled nicely alongside the rusted nail ... 1964 rosie was sittin' right on top of the dirt , had to take a photo of that find for sure. And another buffalo nickel which has a tough date, but it looks like a 1920-D or S to me. I like the '31 canadian penny ... never seen one like that before. Also a sterling silver item which looks like a pin for a military uniform. I hope I have more to post this year but it ain't looking good .... our very long winter could begin any day now. Enjoy the pictures !!

Very nice finds. Weather might hold and you could get out again. If not have a nice winter. I`m in SE Wis. We have a couple weeks or so, but we have lots of rain first, then the big FREEZE.

Nice hunt Dave...and great pics

I hope you can squeak another one in but if not...at least you ended the year with a good one.

Nice job, Dave -- so where does that put you with your silver coin count for the year? Did you hit the big 5-0? I'm stilly tryin' to catch ya' -- but since we don't freeze very hard for very long down here, I have some time (but I'll NEED that time; I think I'm at 42...)

Great job!

Thanks guys ..

Steve, that last hunt bumped me up to 49, but who's counting ? .... I would love to see a few more this year but I am OK with where it's at. Like you, I had hoped for maybe half of that by the time this season was over. And who knows ... I may try to line-up a hunt down south this winter yet. I know some hospitable good 'ol boys down there who would welcome a visit.

Dave --

You are more than welcome here -- if you are making a trip let, me know, for sure. We'll have a good time...

You GOTTA hit that 50 mark!!! But like you say, I was hoping for half that...so I'm more than pleased!
