Howdy Friends and Neighbors!
Considering I was laying in a pool of my own blood at the emergency room 48 hours earlier, I think I did pretty good on this hunt.
I had surgery on the 25th in the morning, followed by a serious bleeding problem around 4pm, which led me to call EMS and get myself aa ambulance ride to the E.R. where I got stitches to close my incision on the knee, followed by having the fire department come to get my carcass out of the car and into the house on a lift assist, I was better yesterday and feeling good enough today to try driving the car. Since that worked out, I figured I'd try a short (emphasis on short) hunt this evening.
My hunt only lasted about 2 hours and I only hit two locations. Careful of my leg, I managed to haul in 60 coins with a 1957d wheat penny to cap things off, along with 3 rings and one gold thingy that would have hung from a chain around somebody's neck. I tested it with acid, and it appears to be at least 14k gold.
My primary motivation was to exercise the leg, working on flexibility and range of motion while hunting, but still being real careful not to stress it too much.
The take on the day was:
17 Quarters = $4.25
4 Nickels = $0.20
14 Dimes = $1.40
25 Pennies = $0.25
Coin count = 60 coins
Total = $6.10
The above does not include the wheat penny or a Canadian quarter I also found.
Odd item of the day was a spoon and a dog tag from Chicago.
Hope you enjoy the photos!
The leg is doing fine, btw!
Blessings,
