Hunted a Stage Coach Stop Today

[Ill Digger]

Theola and I were invited to hunt a old farm house that we were told was a old stage coach stop. We each had a really fun hunt with some nice finds! thumbsup01 The first signal I got was a 1898 IH! <: About 2 minutes later 10 feet away I found a 1916D Buff! Right then and there I knew we were in for a fun day of metal detecting!! As I stand up I hear Ted say from across the front yard ROSIE. I said Yeah? I got a IH and a Buff lol I picked up about four more wheaties within the next hour and a half. As I was on my way to the truck to get a sip of Dew I picked up another wheat as I stand up I get a squeak and as I start to sweep to find the culprit the signal kept getting better and better Higher and higher The E-Trac was showing the target around 6 or 7 inches I was just swing over the target repeatedly just to hear that sweet sound! lol I dig down and see the silver edge of a quarter! <: Before looking at it closely I was thinking to myself This is deep enough it could be a Barber. After a closer look I see its a Standing Liberty quarter! happydance02 And finally one WITH a date!!! It's a 1927 SLQ.

Things kinda slowed down for me after that for most of the day. In the mean time Ted was having a good day too! thumbsup01 He had already found the Rosie and a Merc! Shortly after that he finds a slightly worn Buff of his own! But the find of the day came in the forum of a old foreign silver coin!
Here's Theolas finds for the day thumbsup01

Here's some close ups of the mystery coin he found.



I also found some cool relics and such too. Here's a pic of those items lol


Before leaving I was able to find silver number 59 of the season! A 1946 Rosie thumbsup01
It was a beautiful sunny ,70+° day full of great finds!
Thanks for lookn' & HH everybody!

Wow, that is one fantactic day of detecting! This may sound odd, but I would almost rather find a Standing Liberty Quarter than a Barber. Especially if the SLQ is as nice as that one! Barber quarters look just like Barber dimes and halves, but the SLQ has a unique design and they don't turn up too often. (At least for me!)

Very nice silver foreign coin too! Is it Swedish or Norwegian?

[Epi-hunter]

Great finds Tim, and I love the photos... that dated SLQ is beautiful! The other coins are as well. That is an incredible day.

I would say that is worth a trip back...

You guys did great . Big congrats on SLQ with date and rest of your finds. WTG!!! HH Mike

All day I was imagining of all the great stuff you guys were finding. :-> Was looking forward to your post.

You and Ted really did well at this site... very well. You gotta love when sites like this come along and then
start producing right off the bat. So many nice finds here that it is hard to pick a favorite... so I'll pick two. The SLQ and
especially the 12 Skilling coin. That is quite a nice one to find.

Congrats to the both of you. I hope a return trip is in order for you guys.

Those SLQs sure do catch you off gaurd and then sounds like a very neat place to hunt thumbsup01

[BillZ]

That looks like lots of fun!
That standing liberty is in good shape.Is the foreign coin holed for a necklace?
There has got to be more. Go back!

They don't turn up to often for me either. If it's going to be a SLQ rather than a Barber at least it had a date! <:
From what I've seen it turns out to be a coin from Norway! Of all the finds that day I told Theola. I bet that came across the frontier on a stage coach or wagon train Now thats cool! thumbsup01

I would say that is worth a trip back...

I hope a return trip is in order for you guys.

Awesome hunt wtg definately worth another trip back!!! |

I'm going to try But I was invited here. And unfotunatly the guy who invited us hasn't had any luck there so....I don't know if he'll be in any big rush to get back there But! I'll be trying! You can bet on that! thumbsup01 lol

Those SLQs sure do catch you off gaurd and then

You got that right! lol It defiantly took the pressure off of me finding a silver <: lol

Is the foreign coin holed for a necklace?

I've heard that theory. But the one I believe is closer to the truth is, the coins were holed so they could be sewn into the pockets of either a set of pants. Or into the pocket of a coat, somewhere it couldn't easily be lost. What baffles me is how is there a bur on both sides of the coin? Still a great find!

Thanks for lookin' and commenting everyone! |)
