A One Time Only Hunt:

[Nancy-IL]

I was out doing some errands and I called Larry if he would go talk to the local hospital about detecting some land of theirs. It use to be the Health Department and before that, it was a family home. He did and they gave him the OK. But one condition, "It's a one time only. Today only". Boy did we get our coils changed and fresh batteries and started detecting. Right off the bat I found a 64 Rosie. It went down hill from there. Junk and more junk. Few and far between signals and not much of anything deep. I didn't even come home with a wheat cent! Larry had found a tiny silver ring and on the inside it says STANDARD SILVER. We've never seen that before. It was getting to be my quitting time, so Larry took me home. He went back to see what he could find. He did great! Came home with a 36 Merc. and an 1864 Indian. He dug a lot of junk also and the 5 gallon buckets in the back of the truck are about full. Well, I got my silver fix for the day and I hope others were able to get out also.

Would you believe that the dirt was dry? We could use some rain. Poor families East and North of us.......they have too much water.

Thanks for your time, HH to all, Nancy

It appears that Nancy makes her own luck !

I would have never thought to ask a hospital.

I was also the victim of one of them, 'one time hunts'. For years my brother and I tried to hunt an old,old pear orchard, (about 2 acres worth) on an Indian reservation. We got permission late one evening, (about 1 hr. of daylight left)and my brother found 2 IH's and a V nickel right away. Then I hit an IH and 4 wheaties and it got dark. Next morning we were out there early and got run off right away! We tried to explain we had permission from a board member but were told he didn't have the authority to give us permission. Before I moved we would occasionally drive by the orchard and just sigh and dream.
