Missed again, but just in case Phut is feeling generous with the last few spots, and one is open... How about me boss? (figure Phut is probably one of the only ones that could name the cartoon that this quote comes from )
Pretty funny GR! ... we bought the looney tunes dvd collection and my daughter (almost 4) was the one to use this quote at the dinner table when my wife was handing out dessert!!!
(how 'bout me boss? **Bugs sticking his hand out to get his share after the bank heist**)
Date(s) dug:January 6th and 7th Site(s):Newmarket NH woods and a mill site in Amesbury MA
Detector: Whites IDX with 9.5 inch coil
Newmarket woods. This area is off Great Bay. One of the first settlements in the country. The site I was on is a wildlife management area that has been hammered pretty hard, as most of the non-private spots are.
Here's me hunting in Newmarket woods. Notice the branch that tried to poke my eye out. (re-enactment, that is not really me)
61. marym A name plate. I didn't know there was another name on the back until I cleaned it up. Nice to know they were recycling back in the 1700s.
62. DesertRat Half of a colonial buckle
63. wazari777 A large forged nail. This one barely made by the 'interesting' rule, but it is an early one. History of nails
Next site. Late 1800 early 1900 Mill in Amesbury Ma. I had eyeballed this site from a distance for more than a year, never knowing what was behind the treeline. Sunday, Jan 7th, a friend and I decided to check it out. After twenty minutes of walking through tick infested undergrowth, we get to a clearing and notice a large stone structure. As we get closer we can see that it is a large, collapsed dam complete with a spillway. I brought my camera, took a picture...snap....image saving.....screen goes black. Batteries died before I could even save one image. Grrrr.
Here's me walking through the mill woods. Notice the branch trying to poke out my other eye. Good thing I was wearing my lucky hat.
68. walkerminus1 1874 IHC. This coin is cleaning up nice. AU details. A few more weeks in olive oil, then into the keeper folder.
69. Laserart Can you see them under that large root? My first Canada large cent. Two of them stuck together. These should also clean up nice enough for the keeper folder. 1906 and 1909
70. Dockwalliper A 3/4 inch flat button. I'd have thrown the site on the back burner if not for this find. It tells me there is stuff older than late 1800s there.
71. dan8402 A small ball type button covered in leather.
<< <i>That '06 looks to be in mighty fine shape, how deep was it? >>
The 06 is the better of the two, but they are both in nice shape. They were around 4 inches down on the edge of a hay field about 200 yards from mill. A high and dry spot.
Very nice digs Tim. Georgeous IHC. It amazes me how indians manage to hold their highlights even after years of use, or in this case non-use. I truly believe indians were hammered much harder than many other coins. Keep it up!
Good evening folks. It's halftime! Even though this is my first VTH to participate in, I'd bet this is the best so far. The finds have been great and the players have kept the jockeying for a number at fever pitch. I think the diggers and the virtual players both deserve a big thumbs up.
Stay tuned because I have an intermission activity I think you'll enjoy. The prize is something you don't want to miss.
A little bit later this evening I'm going to post a new thread ya'll can hammer at. Keep your eyes open, because there IS a wardrobe mal-function in this one. Be it a small one though.
WooHoo, I'm thrilled with the pocketknife...........somewhere, theres a tree that some lovesick dude carved his girls name on.............I just know there is.
Nice finds all around, this has been an amazing hunt for everyone.
Sweeeeetttt! I got a naked lady! True, she's only on a ring, but beggers can't be choosy. Great job on the dig! That 1874 Indian cent looks really nice.
Great finds, as we would expect! I'm going to attempt to reseach the name badge. I can see Felix Lauzon's name clear enough, and the town of New Warket (do you think that's correct?) in NH. On the flip side though, is that name Joseph Paul? I'm curious what this plate was used for, especially because it has two names.
<< <i>In about 3 months we can go to that place I told you about and... >>
Can't wait to see what your neck of the woods has to offer, Ken.
Mary, You have the names correct. The town is Newmarket. I didn't notice the M was upsidedown, on the Felix side, until I read your post. Let me know if you find anything. I tried a google search for the names, but didn't spend a lot of time. I was planning to go to the library next time I hunt there.
My searches on Felix Lauzon seemd to end during the 1800's. I haven't been able to locate anything on a Joseph Paul, or a Paul Joseph. Or a Feliz Joseph Paul Lauzon. lol

'And dis time we didn't forget da gravy'
The tree is there, GaCoinGuy. The oldest date I can read is 1929.
Have fun, everybody.
I have not yet been able to dig Round 7, so there might be some downtime once the halftime show is over.
Wanted to dig yesterday but was rained out. I am off Sunday, though, I believe. Weather permitting, I might give it a go.

In about 3 months we can go to that place I told you about and it's mostly level ground so if you don't fall into the well you should be ok.

Went digging the other day but have not completed Round 7 yet.
I also will update the scoreboard to show Tim's Round 6 results and so on, when I get home.
Sorry for the absence, but it looks like Halftime was in good hands, and y'all might not have even noticed me missing, eh?
I will possibly open Round 7 for entries sometime Wednesday, but only for a target or two. Stay tuned.
To the first NEW player who asks for a slot. (Somebody who hasn't gotten a target in the first six rounds of the game.)
Anyone?
