NCtoad Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I took today off work and had a great plan to hunt a local creek that gets thousands of people tubing down it in the summer. Today was a great day as near record high temps were forecasted. This creek has a dam about 5 or 6 miles upstream and they open the dam each day during the summer for tubing and into the fall for kayakers. I had checked the dam’s website and the dam was supposed to stay closed until next spring. However about a half hour after I got in the water, the water level started rising very quickly. Maybe they opened it because it was so warm. There were a bunch of kayakers in the parking lot when I left. So I resorted to plan B and went to a park that I’ve hunted many, many times and have found a lot of silver coins there, but they’re getting harder and harder to find. But I did get a 1924 merc and a nice sterling hair clip. Silver always lightens my mood! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valens Legacy Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Very nice find and glad you were able to save it. Always love working the creeks as they provide unlimited possibilities on the finds. Who knows what you may pull out of the creeks, coins, chains, rings, and even flour gold with some nuggets to boot. Good luck on your next outing and stay safe out there.

F350Platinum Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 A great silver day, NC. 👍 There have been a few instances of having to have a plan B where I am, most recently because the farmer showed up and started spraying, he literally chased me out with the grasshopper. 😅 Then he planted winter wheat so that place is off limits. 🤬 Cool foreign coins as well! Hell yeah! 🏆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPT_GhostLight Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Congrats on the Merc & silver hair clip, Wheaties and the Candadian & French coin, well done!. I couldn't tell what the little one next to the French coin was, and the penny with the hole in it is a unique find, too. Great hunt! 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
