The called shot. Babe Ruth and the Buffalo

[Bob38]

Last weekend I went to my new permission and started out. After an hour of finding several wheat pennies the owner came by and we spoke for a while. As we parted he said "good luck". I replied, "you never know my next hole may be a silver quarter". As he drove off I got a high solid tone with the depth meter at one bar. Another clad I said to myself. It was a 1935 silver quarter. I was blown away. As I made a turn to begin a new line in my search grid, I thought to myself wouldn't it be great if I found a buffalo nickel? Now I don't usually post my finds because where I live, a good day is an old wheat penny or a late Indian penny. I don't expect much and had a lot of days where I have been skunked. Anyway, the next hole was a 1916 Buffalo date still visible.

Some of you may call BS and I don't blame you. Heck I don't believe it myself.

No BS call. We find things as we find them and if lucky the retrieval is easy. Last year I went out with a new coil and hunted a county park that I’ve found silver in before. County decided to do some tree thinning and ended up with two large burn piles. In the process the area around the piles had been dozed up a bit for burn control. Found a WA tax token in bad shape and decided to call it a day. Turned to leave the pile and a quarter signal popped off, bottle cap I declare but it was only 3-4” so cut the plug. Mid 30s quarter shines up. There are no rules as to where they reside.
