MY FUNNIEST COIN TO DATE




Hello y'all,
I am telling you about the coin I found with my wife a while back. My wife and I went out on a Saturday morning to a place I found in Delaware. It turned out to be a pretty good spot to detect. I started hunting it a few days and found a few pieces of silver and a great Indian head. Well Saturday we jumped out of the truck XLT;s in hand hoping to find a few more pieces of silver. I took a few steps and had a great hit of 88 on the screen 3.5 inches did a thumbs up to my wife and started digging. My lesche tool cut through the dirt like butter and out popped a nice 1954 silver 25cent piece. The day started out great and Dot started hunting even harder to find a good coin. Some time later I looked up to see where she was detecting just to make sure where she was and to see if everything was OK. She gave me the thumbs up and a shake of her coin pouch. I walked about 30 feet and had a nice hit of 85 and just knew I was going to dig another piece of silver. I called for Dot to come over so I could show her how to dig another silver coin. I told her to swing her XLT over so she could hear what a piece of silver sound like. Just kidding, she has dug her share of silver coins over the years of detecting. Dot looks at me and say you have to be the luckiest guy detecting with silvers coins. I drop to my knees and start digging 2.5 still know coin 4 inches then 5.5 inches out comes the coin covered with dirt. I took off a little bit of the dirt so I could tell what the heck kind of coin this could be and didn't have my glasses with me either. I gave my wife the coin and she cleaned it off a little better only to have a big set of boobs looking her right in the face. She started cracking up laughing saying only you would find a coin like this. She handed it back to me still on my knees busting up after seeing what I dug out of the ground. Heads I win Tails you lose, What a great day of detecting and like they say you never know what you will find next. Until next time don't stop detecting.
