    great 2 hour hunt with eastcoast

    me and larry armed with our wethersfield bylaws sheets hit a small green for two hours tonight and allthough we found nothing realy old we did have our best hunt together so far.
    i ended with 10 coins (6 from the same hole) and larry with 8 coins,the oldest being a 1950 wheatie from me.
    its bloody great having someone to share the excitment with ya know.
    anyway here is a pic of my ten and hopefully larry will post his.
    nothing realy old yet from either of us but i feel we are both getting close to somthing for sure.

    Nice looking hunt here lee.
    Yes, I feel the same way... sharing a good hunt with a partner are great times. <:
    When I hunt with Dave, we get a big rush out of seeing the other guy dig a nice coin... especially silver.
    Congrats. I'm looking forward to your posts.

    Not a bad take at all thumbsup01
    Like Epi said if your digging wheats your bound to dig some silver too thumbsup01
    Now that you guys are getting alot of the surface targets out of the way, the older deeper coins will start showing up
    Congrats on your finds

I guess my best coin so far has to be my Sacagawea 2000 p dollar. I just want to know where all the silver is thinkingabout:?
