Got out today to a place I've only been once. Decided to go back today after getting a no from a local to hunt his fields. He took my card and said if he has a change of mind, he'll call me. Great looking location, but no go there. So I decided not to travel to far and tried this new location again.
Swang for about 2 and half hours and found only clad and pennies. It started to sprinkle, but the clouds looked to tell of harder rain to come. Got a dime hit and dug a silver Rosey (solid 12/46). 2 feet away got a 11/38; 12/40; 11/40 and so on. A little bit choppy, but it was next to the dime, so I dug and pulled out the 1821 LC. Nicest LC I've ever dug, just perfect. The soil was mostly sandy and pebbley.
It started to rain a little more steadily, and I had no cover for the E-trac, so I walked back to the car, thinking of going home. Got to the car, and said, sh!t, I havn't gotten out much, it's quite here, no bugs, nice and warm, I just found a couple good coins, so I got a large baggie and went back to that area.
20 feet from those two coins I got a solid 12/38, thinking it was another penny, I swang over it 15 times, thinking of not digging the signal. I took two steps away and thought you better at least check the other direction on that signal. When I did, I got a high pitch repeat. Right to my knees and dug a plug. Fished around a bit, and pulled out a large flat button. Yup, right signal, another flat button for the collection. Rubbed alittle dirt of and, budda bing, there's the GW scipt. No more field cleaning on this one. Started raining hard again, and so back to the car I went. Brushed it of lightly with a soft brush and took these pictures.
Went straight to the coin dealer to get plastic cases. Put them in the cases, handed the button to the dealer and he offered me $2000 cash on the spot for the button and $75 for the LC. I decided to hang on to them and show my wife and son tonight.
I've found some decient stuff, but this is my best find.
