Spanish 1728 and 1781

(1/1)

bluenoser:
Wowzer!  Navy Davy and I met up with Ryan and Jeff for an outing.
First stop netted me a large cent that was toasty to say the least.  We left that spot after a half hour as not much was found here.  Next spot Ryan pulls out a nice 1917 large cent along with an early Lizzy dime.  Navy Davy who braved the deep furrows was rewarded with a silver thimble.  Man walking here was hazardous to ones health as there was a few mighty deep holes here caused by the recent plowing.
Hitting the third spot was a different beast with tall grass and an incline.  Lord love a duck this wanker struggled at this point. Was nice to be hunting for a few oldies instead of quota! Then Zen Guru (AT Pro International) let loose with a solid 72...out popped a 1728 one real.  About 5 minutes later another solid signal at 85 and out popped a 1781 2 real.  Luck of the swing not skill.  My batteries ran out so back to the truck.  Out goes the copper tops and in goes 4 Ever ready that for the first second gave me the full array of bars.  Two steps later the Every ready became Never ready so I bugged ND for a fresh four pack.
Saw Jeff digging in earnest.  What the halibut he was so deep that only the handle of his spade was above the hole.  Have never witnesses a hole that low that gave up  coin...a large copper.
Great day with fellow diggers with 3 of us hitting silver and not too mention everyone doing well!

That's a nice Old silver you got there.
By the way lesson learned about the batteries.
some years ago i had to drive 40km to buy a set of double D's for my White's and return to a good producing site where my mates had a ball
only to find out they were dead. DEAD.  [amen]
the small town shop had them for years..sealed packet bad batteries.
But never happened again.i always have a FRESH spare set on me always
ps

Appears you all had a great adventure.  Congratulations on the cool finds.  Thanks for the tale of woe about the batteries.  I guess we have all had a battery failure story, so we can relate to yours and Nick's!
