Hi fellows,
Haven't posted anything for quite awhile as I just haven't been getting out much. Our club had a hunt last Sunday at a spot that we have hunted many times in the past and I didn't really expect to find much this time, but at least I didn't get skunked. I found two wheat pennies dated 1919 and 1941, a 63 rosie, a 39 merc and a 1901 V nickel. We had a pretty good turnout and a lot of ground was covered by everyone. There were two Indians found with only one having a readable date of 1895, a silver quarter, a couple of more mercs and rosies and a 1910 Barber dime. Two rings were found one being a 10kt gold 1981 ladies college class ring and another 10kt white gold ring with a pretty blue stone that was found down on the beach. My buddy Lee got a 64 rosie. a couple of wheats and a 36 buff. There were a couple of other finds that were questionable in my mind one being a 1920 buff that was just too shiny to have been just dug out of the ground. I have never dug a buff that wasn't dark in color like my buddy Lee's was and yet this 1920 was in very nice condition and find it hard to believe that two buffs coming out of the same type of soil can be so different in their condition. The one that really had me and some others finding it hard to believe was a 1858 flying eagle one cent penny!!! This was also just too pristine and showed hardly any kind of wear and I wish now that I would have had a camera and taken a picture of it. Those flying eagle cents are just not found out here in Washington state and if anyone out here have found any I would like to hear from you. OK, I have let off my steam and besides what I may feel about what was actually found and we all have our opinions, but all in all it was a nice hunt and glad that I was able to swing a coil for a change. Thanks for looking fellows and GL & HH to everyone.
