Silver & Rain ...

[MNCoinhunter]

I did'nt get much detcting time in this weekend really. We helped my wife's grandmother move to a new place on saturday, and I was able to detect in front of the house and down the sidewalk for about an hour while they unpacked boxes. Fairly good results for a strip about 20 feet long and 6 feet wide. That '63 rosie is #40 for silver coins. I am content and will march into winter with my head held high ... I've had a blessed year.

Sunday (today) was supposed to be more detecting but it kept raining every time I tried to turn my detector on .... just was not meant to be . So my friend Jim & I headed down to a set of rapids that the forest service was working on. It has been a fishing spot for centuries or longer. As you can see from the pictures the river is historically LOW ...the water is usually 3/4 of the way up the new boulder wall they built to stop erosion. Looking for artifacts .... not much luck but it was nice to get out and look around.

Surprisingly not. And there is no doubt in my mind that it was a fishing spot for the indians. I'm thinking that everyone and their uncle has picked through this spot already. I did find a nice preform/knife about 15 years ago at a known crossing upstream that was part of an ancient indian trail. And by accident as a matter of fact, because I was actually fishing that day. I did'nt even take any pictures of it until last year. Was trying to get some internet info on the piece, such as it's age and type.

Nice going on #40 for the year Dave. We got rained on today at our MDAW planted hunt as well. Had a good time and they gave away a lot of silver as prizes. GL & HH.
