    It's been a while.

    Hello all! It's been a while since I've posted anything so I thought I'd drop a note so ya'll know I'm still around. I haven't gotten out as much as I'd like to but here are a couple pics of some silvers from a recent hunt. It was my first Seated quarter and I handed it over to the homeowner who was happy to have it. Haven't found much else on the lot since but there's lots more ground to cover. Best to everyone and happy hunting. Name:  image.jpg

    Excellent find. I'm sure it was tough to part with that coin, but giving is better than receiving. After all, they're just things. I bet the MD Karma gods will give you good fortune in the future. HH!

    Ha Ha. I suppose that it probably isn't normal John but I give all my finds to the home owner when hunting on their property. I figure if they are nice enough to share their property with me, I should hand over the finds. I take a picture so I still get bragging rights. Gave away a 1891 IH today to a nice lady named Nora who finally gave me permission to hunt on her place after asking for almost a year.


    Good luck out there everyone

    WHAAAA???? That's a rare denomination for that type of coin. Or at least rare to find. I got one doing it for 4 years but Dan with his 15 years hasn't nabbed one yet. (I don't think that's throwing him under the bus in any way shape or form..) Nice find, tho, even if you didn't keep it.
    Future goals: Capped bust coin, Flowing hair LC, Classic head LC, VT copper, MA copper, Pistareen, Two-cent pc, SLQ, GW inaugural button, Excelsior button, Civil war token, and a gold ring.

    I also offer my finds to homeowners but most don't want them....they actually think I'm weird to keep them. I once was chatting with a homeowner after my first hunt on his property....I found a beat up MA copper and some buttons etc... I asked him if he wanted them...he replied, "what am I gunna do with that stuff....what are YOU gunna do with it?" I belly laughed....he thought it was all garbage....to him it was. Once in a while, someone wants a nice coin, I give it to them and then buy one for my collection. Nice going!
