Met up with forum member bday again and he was kind enough to invite my hunting buddy Dave and Hercules along.

We thought we would pound Bob's old site he researched one more time...in hopes of squeaking out another keeper.
[attachment 178393 bobhuntdave2.jpg]
Well the only things I squeaked out were another 5 deep "screwcap" injuns.
You know what I'm talking about...the deep whining injun hits that end up being screwcaps at about 9".:veryangry:
Bob decided he would get creative on us and hunt the little "jungle" strip of the area. It was the only place that had not had any of our coils run over it. I got close but did not feel like fighting through the briars and poison everywhere.

Bob however...he did not care and was like a man possesed once he got a sweet hit.
He was on all fours...fighting the briars...poison...and digging targets with the help of Herky. He found a solid carpet layer of screwcaps...probably because this is where all the winos chucked there bottle when they were finished.

He was rewarded for all his hard work though because once he removed a ton of crap and got to a different layer underneath...he popped out a sweet old large cent.
Here are the pics after he gave it a thorough soaking and cleaning.

Afdter a few hours...Dave and I headed back towards home because he had spent some time locating a site and getting permission a few days earlier.
It was an old schoolhouse site and the foundation was long gone...but bits of an old sidewalk were still there...so that's where we began our search.
The very first thing I dug was a sweet old sterling silver wedding band at about 9"...so I was hoping we were in for a good afternoon.

We definitely were because over the next few hours Dave and I dug plenty of keepers.
We each got a few silver...some injuns'...some wheaties...some trinkets...and a ring.
The one little silver is a mexican coin...a 10 centavo from 1894. This is my second one of these coins I've found over the years.
I used the SE and Sunray X-12 coil and ended up with the mexican silver coin...2 more barbers...2 injuns'...some wheaties...my 2nd Brunswick-Balke token...and the silver ring.

I think 3 of my last 6 barber dimes have been 1910...but one of these 2 is very nice.
Dave was working the SE and 10 x 12 SEF combo and he did very well too...getting the barber dime...2 injuns...2 other silver... some wheaties....and the sterling bracelet piece.

Nice post and GL & HH on your next outing.
Especially that one with the wet nose and the collar.
