Matron Head and lead

Went out scouting this morning looking for a new site but no cellar hole to be found. Just stock fields. But I decided to detour and hit a near by cellar hole site that I hadn't been to in years. This place was pounded in the past but I hoped to be able to sniff something out of the iron trash. I don't think I was there two minutes when I was surprised to get a decent signal and was more surprised to see this 1818 LC come out of the ground.

I said to myself, "this is too easy". And it was because over the next hour and a half it was just a couple of buttons and a lot of lead.

The early morning sun caught this web.

Actually flicked a couple of deer ticks off me. All it took was the rain we had last week to get the little *&^*$#@% active.

Another very nice coin! It's been horrendous here in the Midwest with the mosquito infestation due to the rain the past several weeks. I feel you pain!

Always good to get a coin early in the hunt to get the monkey off your back! We should all send our ox shoes to Drew:lolsign:

Thanks Gents! You know, I actually don't mind digging ox shoes.....At least I don't cuss when I dig one like I do when I dig a bottle cap.

Nice Matron, Jeff. Some sites are like that. Just an easy target that everyone else missed, but all the others they nabbed. It's happened to me often.
