Group hunt and a bucket lister!

[Digger_O'Dell]

Hi all
I was invited to hunt with FF43 (Jeff), Ill digger (Tim), and Ted at an undisclosed location I have been once before. Well, the first half of the day didn't produce anything but a single wheatie. But after lunch I went back to an area that gave up lots of silver previously. I had thought it was cleaned out, but not long into the area I got a nice quarter size sterling religious medal. Then things went quiet again until I started poking the coil under some bushes along the back edge where I picked up a shallow silver Washington. After this I turned the corner and followed the tree line where about half way down at the base of a tree I got a wheatie signal between some thick roots. Well, to say the least I was in for a BIG surprise when about 2 inches down and on edge I pulled out a huge nearly perfect walking liberty half! Top of my bucket list for sure. Last silver of the day, and with 7 wheaties still made for a great hunt, with everyone going home with silver in their pockets. Big thanks to Jeff for the invite!

Beautiful WLH. Been quite a while since I have gotten a sterling religious medal, congrats on yours.

It's weird how a big chunk of silver can have such poor signals at times. great hunt for the group look forward to seeing Jeff's video. I would consider that quite the successful hunt. Nice finds WD

Nice big silver. I actually found my walking HD in just the same way as your washington, checking underneath the bushes.

There's a lotta meat still left on that Walker Chris!
That's a good one for your first!!
Congrats on the bucket lister , and all the other keepers as well.
The religious medallion is a sweet find too!

It was good to meet yet another forum member!
Till next time

Thanks much Tim, it was great meeting a couple neighbors from the south. Have to say you guys really work it hard, and it pays off. Hope I get the chance to dig with you and Ted again sometime

Should have known that's what you would dig when you said you were hoping to dig one! Big congrats

Thanks Dennis! Now I need to go for the gold! Actually got a lead yesterday from a coworker who told me of his father and a couple of his coworkers finding a load of gold coins scattered throughout a construction site they were working about 10 years ago. He said he would get me the address, and I'll work the curb strips and whatever else I can access there. Who knows what will pop up, but I can always hope!
