A few weeks ago I was trying to meet up with George and Del for a weekend hunt, but the days just didn't jive. I told George no worries, they've been digging up the road and I've been wanting to hit it. So hit it I did. As far as finds...a beautiful memorial penny! lol However, everything in life happens for a reason. As I was working in one direction, met another man working in the other direction and our paths in life crossed. We spent a bit of time talking. Hwe was saying that he lives in the same town I do, and that he's been looking for a hunting buddy, and coincidently he too only has Sundays to hunt. So I left my card on his car window as I was leaving. Didn't know if he'd call.
Friday (a week ago) he called and asked if I wanted to join him for some hunting. I was elated. We went to a cornfield he's been detecting for sometime and has pulled some great coinage from. Right out of the gate, hit a wheat, I thought this is going to be great. Well that was the only coin either of us hit that day. But we made some other discoveries and had a good time. I found a cogal bell, some small round bulets, a piece of lead that I believe is the bottom of a 3 ring .58 cal that the tip was cut off, a button, and some misc. We BOTH found our own ax heads! Mine was bigger lol I don't remember everything he found. but he found what we both believe to be a gold cufflink.
But the best part of the day was making a new friend! Looking forward to Sunday's hunt.
