Ok well , here's my story , Thanks IDX for the Into and .... raising everyone's expectations to Morgan or gold coin levels . Lol
So everyone here knows I'm losing my mind and I picked up around 1 pm and left the house into the frozen tundra. Drove an hour and twenty min south as Mattmitt texted me and said he was gonna scout a pond dredge out . I headed to an old wooded park looking for deep layers of leaves . Sure enough .. a couple few inches of lighter frost but diggable . Vencher off the leaf piles and your frozen tight to 8 inches. I dug a couple Lincolns and some wine bottle screw caps .
About 15 min in Mattmitt called and I could hear his frozen teeth chattering.
This pond sucks he says ... I responded by ... Its diggable here ... ... not long and he was parked next to my suburban I always look forward to the chance to meet up with a forum buddy and I was a little jumpy thinking a Sasquach was throwing big rocks at me.
We hunted and extracted targets . As we wondered deep in the forest I came across the most beutiful signal . Pure as the snow. Flashing me a 12/47 14/48 and throwing in a 1/43 My heart pounded ... anytime you see a 1 the first thing I think of is dollar! The other reason was it was on clean hard dirt next to a tree . No leaf cover I gave Matt a ... Hey ... I got a buttery one! And he scampered over from his pull tab signal ( no doubt an 18 k then he never finished digging). Matt liked the signal
I asked if I could use his shovel as we both knew we were in trouble.
The good buddy that he is ... he said .. , " I am. It going anywhere".
After what seemed to me like 15 min of chizzeling and chopping taking turns using Lesches and his Sampson or whatever we got close and he popped the 5 in h round ice ball from the ground .. just under it the coin laid almost flat ... it's bigger then a quarter he said with a smile I said .. and it's silver !
Well after 5 more min of chizzeling around the rim we popped it .
Little battels is what this game is about and it was time to head for the truck.
On the board for 2018 also had a couple clad dimes a clad quarter and a wheatie. Temps were around 20 with a chili breeze .
Priceless experience . Thanks Matt.
Thanks for looking guys .

Even more incredible the third time around Brad. You could’ve watched the Steelers lose...or the Vikings win...but you went and saw YOU win. And win you did. What a freaking HONKER!
Can I get a “Teamwork! Teamwork!”
