Indian Head #50!!!

Ill Digger

Moderator
I made plans to hook up with Mike Silverstar, Rob Tech 125 & Ted for a hunt Sunday morning . Getting a late start :embarrassed: Mike gave me a call and said the ground was frozen and undiggable at the original meet place. :shocked04: >{ So we met nearby and hunted the woods till around noon, giving the ground a chance to thaw out lol But before we left the woods I was able to find my 50th IH of the season!! <: :happydance01: Number 50 turned out to be a 1895 thumbsup01 Midday we drove over to the original spot and hunted there till it started to get dark out. Fighting between 2 and 6 inches of frost along the way. The second hole there I dug the ugliest Merc I've found to-date 8/ lol it's a 1945. The surprise of the day came late, just before the approaching darkness and cold ran us off. :frozen: From 9 inches came my 110th silver of the year! :shocked04: <: #110 is a 1902o Barber dime! :cool: thumbsup01

The days bounty thumbsup01 Minus $4.22 in clad.

Coming into this season I never thought I would reach 100 silvers! Let alone 110! I also never foreseen 50 IH's! Wow! :shocked04:
If the ground froze solid tonight I'd be content with the way my season has gone. :yes: |:confused:)
But it's suppose to get up to the low 50s in the next couple of day! thumbsup01 :happydance01:
You know I'll be out trying to add to the totals :yes: thumbsup01 lol

Thanks for lookin' & HH everyone! :groovy:
 
Timmy, I love that O Barber :smitten:. Big congrats on silver total and your 50th IH of the year. I had great time yesterday and for sure next season we will need to go back to that park. BTW fight was great :peace:. Talk later bud. HH Mike
 
Nice December hunt Tim! Congratulations on the on all the nice coins. That will teach that Merc to get in the way of your digger! lol

very sweet Tim and congrats on the silver total , i sure hope you do get to add to both of them totals |:cheering: |:cheering:
 
Excellent finds! The woods is going to be nice and soft under leaf cover for awhile yet so get back out there! Congrats on # 50 and yes, you had a fantastic year! We will finally hook up next season!
 
Nice! :peace:
Great job on the targets Tim. :clapping: The Barber was very well earned at nine inches. :shocked04: Anything below the eight inch mark starts to get a little iffy.
No worries on the Merc. You probably had your digger set to +1 instead of +1.62 :yes: ... lol :poke:
A big congratulations on a fantastic year buddy. I know you had a huge chunk of your season wiped out by work this year. You really made up for it when you could. |:confused:)
Well done sir. :beerbuddy:

Tim congrats on #50 and the Barber. You are right that is one ugly merc. Nice hunting
lol Thanks Al! Yeah I don't know whats up with that Merc. :confused: I haven't even tried to get that stuff off of there yet :dontknow: lol
 
Tim,

Congrats on your 50th IH, also the diging that day was tough to say
the least, you earned your 110th silver :wow:
 
Congrats on your 50th Indian Head and 110th silver, Tim! Both are very impressive totals, very inspiring! I can only dream of reaching such milestones. Love the Barber Dime! :loveit:

Good job! :clapping:
 
WTG Tim!! Those are some nice finds and congrats on your 50th Indian. I'm jealous, I wish I could be out swinging. The weather has been good enough to hunt around here but the recent surgery will not allow it. The one year I can't hunt in December and we have mild weather, go figure.
