Busy person you are. Congrats on the silver you found.

OkieDigger · Jan 22, 2006

Hey at least you found a silver quarter! I only found ONE silver quarter last year.... :o(

Hope you have a good set of knee pads

Looks like you're doing pretty well

Its a shame you can't post a piccy of the UFO parts I'm sure the board members would love to see them

Variety is the spice of life, or something like that. Congrats on the silver quarter.

All that in three weeks! You are off to a great start.

Keep em coming.

You're a local inspiration, you know?

Beaver tails almost fall into the category of antiques. :lol:

I'm sure they'll start showing up on EBay before long.

Krom · Jan 23, 2006

Now that's keepin' close track of your digs, Trobaughokc!

glenny · Jan 23, 2006

nice finds there trobaughokc, keep saving the copper and clad, then trade them in on a digital camera so we all can see those beaver tales before they go up for bid on ebay :yes:

Newbie finds part 2

4TH Week out.

Memmies 48
Wheats 2
Nickels 4
Rosies (clad) 6
Rosies (sliver) 1
Quarters (clad) 4
Costume jewelry 1

School yards mainly, out away from the playground equipment. Have yet to find a pea gravel or wood chip play area that hasn?t already been worked over. Swing sets and monkey bars have also been a bust. Saturday I was hunting before 8 am in a light drizzle and could tell where the chips had already been turned. Put a shower cap on the Bounty Hunter and headed to the sidewalk borders, basketball courts and baseball fields.

Doing my bit by picking up trash, can?t believe the glass shards and pointy things in the areas our kids and grandkids play, but have gotten to where I?m not digging much. Occasionally a large piece of canslaw, or pull tab from a strong mixed signal. When I get back to a beach, I expect my trash to coin ratio will go back up, as I?ll probably go back to digging everything.

Sounds like you're off to a great start. Just wait till you find an untouched playground: coins on every swing, and if your lucky, a nice piece of silver jewelry or two! HH!
