A wheat and a silver Rosie

[hatpin]

It was a stunningly beautiful morning as I resumed my search on the bluffs and hills over looking the Mississippi. With Vaquero in hand I stuck to the edge of the bluffs and drop offs . I crawled down one rocky spot and discovered a geocache.



I signed my name and left a bullet.



Directly above that spot I found a 1957 Rosie and a 1930 D Wheat penny. The Vaquero had the stock coil , ground balanced neutral, sens 10 , threshold 1 oclock, and disc just a little above iron. The penny was about six inches deep. The machine meowed in both disc and all metal and the signal was still strong at maximum disc.

The dime was shallow and barking. It was maybe an inch deep.

Your hunting spots are beautiful. Great finds on those coins! Do you have to worry about Timber Rattlers in those bluffs?

Beautiful Hunt! I wonder what else may be in that cave?

There was a rat in that cave. His nest was right behind the geocache. As I was writing my name I heard something rustling and the rat stuck his head out.


Rainyday , I dont worry about anything except for falling. I would love to see a rattlesnake or a copperhead.

That's a beautiful hunting site. Nice going on the wheat penny and Rosie. I used to not worry about much while out a lone in places like that, until I broke my arm from a fall. Just make sure you have a phone that will reach out for help if you ever need it.

I like the picture too. It looks like a lot of rock their. That could make digging a little hard. Them banks might have a lot of good history. Just be careful going up and down like that.... KEN

Hunters use those rock overhangs to get in out of the rain. As a kid growing up my granddad, uncles and I would use them. Some of them we'd stock with firewood so we would have some dry wood to burn to warm ourselves with. Before with left we would restock the fire wood so we'd have it to burn next time.

I have yet to find anything good in these natural shelters. This one, all I found was some wire. I even dug one out one time , hoping to find Indian artifacts.
