Metal Detecting a Standing Liberty Quarter in the Cold Woods.MOV

It was 4 degrees when I went to work this morning. With winds over 25 mph...Too Cold to work..After standing at the gate waiting to have security let me out...I started shivering so much...I thought I was dancing... I went home & got my pocket camcorder to do a little intro for the video,and by 11 am ...It was still only 8 degrees.... We appreciate those that have better weather down south..Making and posting metal detecting videos for us Northeners that can't get out cause the weather is too frigid..... ..This video is from Last saturday...Dec 6th 2009...Where I killed a S.L.Q......While not taking my time recovering it from close to a tree root. I look forward to seeing some more December detecting videos,and January detecting videos from our southern brothers and sisters....Keep um comming.....We are still 'Jonesin' for those finds & relics... Have a Merry Christmas, and a Happy 2010 New Year.....God Bless You ALL

Killer on finding all the silver there! Not sure if it was in the video, with all that silver found...was wondering what kinda area you are hunting, what was standing there years ago? Homesite, Park? Etc. Really good hunting grounds there!

Those scratches do happen, and to all of us from time to time, but still an awesome find you made! Big Congrat's to all of you! Hope you all can make more vids during this winter time! Great watching them! Merry Christmas to you all!

Nice going Dave. Don't feel too bad about the SLQ. It happens, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more. Taking the break paid off. Nice video. Thanks!

Thanks dude....But I am suprized at myself...Thats the second quarter I scratched in a row...The day before,I was filming as I dug a coin spill (Not posted yet)..and you will be able to see,when I dug it....On film, I turned the soil,and there was a the tip of my shovel was pushing against a washington Quarter.....

You don't hear many targets hunting the woods..So its easy to get excited and make a mistake in recovery....

Nice video! For us uninitiated, what's an SLQ (Silver Liberty Quater?)? And where do you have you camera mounted?

Nice work! You guys have got me hooked! :)

[219erman]

Yes a Standing Liberty Quarter....

I first videoed the snow at a local park,and holding a newspaper out in it...Then I went home...Cued the first scene in the video...Mounted the camera on a tri-pod in front of the computer..Put gloves on and held the paper in front of the cued scene on my monitor ...,and rolled the camera...

Dave,

Don't feel too bad, it happens. At least it wasn't a Merc 16D or something. Nice job on the silver! Ground is rock hard here, we are done for a wile I am afraid. Looking forward to seeing the videos you haven't posted yet.
