Thread: My first Copper Pocket Spill

  1. #1

    My first Copper Pocket Spill

    Got out with you know who again on Sunday. Seemed like we walked more than we actually hunted

    The holes were pounded pretty good but I was still able to find my first copper pocket spill that included two coins, Coppers #29 and #30 for the 2013. The area was extremely saturated and it seems like the coppers had been resting in this swampy ground for a very long time. Both are complete toast and unidentified. >:/ >:/

    The highlight of my day was waiting for Dave for about 30 mins. We were searching for one site in the woods and after I made it back to the dirt road, I realized Dave was no longer behind. 15 mins later my phone rings and a frantic voice is asking me where I am. I kept yelling and whistling into the woods so that Dave could follow my voice back to the road. I was almost ready to start a fire and send up smoke signals for him to follow rofl rofl. Dave I told you I would post this

    congrats on the multi-copper find | | . Todd , I'm afraid to tell you this , but Dave is getting old and his memory and motorskills just aren't what they use to be so be prepared to go through this more an more as time goes on . maybe bring a whistle or for more convienence just keep him on a teathered length of cord so he doesn't wander off to far. lol rofl

    Hmmm... I can't recall any blunders on my part Dave. You may be waiting an awfully long time before publishing that story

    Todd,
    So happy to hear this! I felt so ditzy when I had to call you last time, I swear I looked up from swinging and walked back the way I thought I came only to find out it was in the complete opposite direction! It is amazing how everything starts looking the same in there and your heart starts racing and panic sets in!

    Congrats on your copper finds!
