Rainy hunt w/ Coinnut

[del]

Sorry no outdoor pictures today because of the on an off torrential down-pours :grin: I wasn't about to bring the camera beside when George gets muddy ...
its not pretty lol lol

I really didn't think it was going to rain like it did 8/ and with no jacket boy was i soaked :eyebrow: and i mean wet ... picture getting your clothes out of the washing machine and then you put them on wet . lol lol

The wet day started out slow for me , we got to an old haunt of ours because we had a feeling there was bit more to find.It was a hike into the woods to a cellar with ajoined saw mill and when we got the we noticed that the care-takers of the property bulldozed in the cellar hole. :dontknow: The machine was running very smoothly but all i got the coil over was just scraps of brass and iron , a clad quarter :hairpulling: :shocked04:verreaction: :crying02: dropped musket ball and dog tag until about a half hour before we left , which was a good thing as George had already had a copper and silver . This is when a got a signal I have almost forgotten , a copper . :happy:
Out popped the big green disk :happydance01: , shortly later I also retrieved what i thought might have been an aluminum chain. It turned out to be a .925 silver bracelet <: the silver washington (45) and wheats (27,57,54) were found at another short hunt.

heres the goods



some pictures of the bracelet and washington



another picture of the bracelet



some dirty crusty pictures of the uncleaned copper







and the 1802 all cleaned up





hey thanks for looking and the moral to this story is always
bring a rainjacket when you plan on going out in the rain :embarrassed: lol lol

now get out and find something

That Draped Bust is a looker :shocked04: Nice condition. Yep, it was raining a little lol But for some reason the machines were running real smooth today. I ran the CTX on auto+3 and it ran deep all day long. Had a great day. Got a counterfeit / beat up copper, then the Barber dime (was hoping for Spanish silver lol), Lots of buttons and a token that was political in nature, but no candidates names on it. The small childs horse button is cool. Got a real nice Geo II from another hunt. I'm dry now and a lot less muddy.
