Had some time to get out afterwork last night, Al had to work, so he couldn't join me lol, I noticed they were digging up park of a parking lot in an area that has been good to me in the past :drool:, I had joked with Al that I was going to bring home a bust :teasing:, the construction workers were still there, so I had to occupy myself for a bit, so I hit a spot I had been thinking about for awhile.....1 measly memorial >:#, I went back to the parking lot, they hadn't torn it up like I had thought, only removed curbing...found 1 more memorial >{...things were not going myway at all >:{

It was getting late, I was getting hungary, and I was frustrated >:#....I went to an area that I have pulled 2 LC from this year, wasn't expecting much...I got a 12-44 hit, was expecting a copper small cent, hopefully a wheat....... :shocked04: and what to my wondering eyes should appear a seated liberty dime to make me cheer :cheering: rofl.....so I called Al and told him I didn't find a bust....I'd have to settle for a seated :tongue:...I scoured the area some more and pulled out 2 wheats.....so that last bit made my night....and allowed me to catch up with Al in silver finds at least in number...but his is bigger (half and quarters)

I don't normally clean my silver, but this seated was dark grey when she came up, I had to clean her, and wasn't going to hurt the value.

Rob, that seated looks good. Congrats on finally catching up but can that etrac find anything bigger than a dime :poke:. I'm waiting for my 1st seated of the year, great recovery.

Very sweet way to save the hunt!! :peace: Sometimes the best finds pop out
of the hole when you are least expecting it.
She's a beauty Rob. A big congrats to you. :clapping:



I'd have to settle for a seated :tongue:


I'd settle all day long, seven days a week with one of those. :drool:
