Haunted Coin Found Salem Massachusetts

[jimmyjiver]

Hi Pappy And Hi To Everyone Else Too. I Thought I Would Post A Little Story About One Of My Recent Hunts And Recent Unknown Finds. I Just Want To Try And Help Anyone That's Suffering From Cabin Fever Or Feeling Kinda Blue Out A Little By Posting This. I Know Cabin Fever Is Running High Here And It's Really Lonely Here In My Winter Home. I Have Been Trying For Years To Hunt This Area In Salem Massachusetts Called Gallows Hill. Well This Year My Persistence Finally Paid Off. The Landower Finally Said Yes!! I Think The Fact That His Daughter Is Sweet On Me Didn't Hurt Matters Any Either. Let Me First Tell You Some Brief History Of This Place Then You Will See Why I Wanted To Metal Detect There. Fifteen Miles North Of Boston Is Historic Salem Massachusetts. The Town Was First Settled In 1629, Almost A Year Before Boston. Salem Was Named After The Hebrew Word For Peace, Shalom. Salem Was Made Famous By The Witch Trials Of 1692. During The 17th Century, Natural Disasters, Crop Failures, And Even Accidents Were Often Considered The Work Of God. Unexplained Behavior, Sickness, And Even Birth Marks, Were Considered The Work Of Satan. Beliefs And Fear Of The Unexplained Led To Hysteria At Salem In 1692, And The Final Result Was The Conviction And Execution Of 19 People For The Crime Of Witchcraft. These Innocent Souls Were Hanged On Gallows Hill. When The Hysteria Subsided, Great Doubt Was Cast On The Event Due To The Number Of Respectable Citizens That Were Executed. Samuel Sewall, One Of The Salem Judges, Later Wrote In 1696 An Article Of Penitence For What Had Happened. Well Pappy That's Enough History Anyways Thousands Of People Attended This Tragic Event. So I Thought It Would Be A Great Place To Metal Detect. I Got Up Early One Day About The Crack Of Noon And Drove The Long Distance From Home It's About Three And Half Miles I Think The Odometer Said. I Was Getting Worn Out After Having Three Flat Tires On The Way There Not To Mention Running Out Of Gas A Couple Times. Well Feeling Some What Tired I Arrived At the Backside Of Gallows Hill About 3:00 PM In The Morning. I Got Out Of My Sweet Little VW And Looked Up The Hill I Couldn't Believe The Fog That Was On The Top Of This Hill It Really Looked Eerie. Then To My Surprise For Some Unknown Reason I Started Getting Super Cold. I Then Looked Down At My Feet And Noticed I Still Had My Slippers On,But That Wasn't Worst Of It "Stupid Me" I Still Had On My Pajamas Too. I Think I Got So Excited Over Obtaining Permission To Hunt This Place I Just Forgot To Dress Properly. I Said To Myself "You Came This Far Your Hunting Pajamas Or Not". Well I Grabbed My Trusty Detector And Turn It On I Then Proceed Up The Hill. I Didn't Take Two Steps When I Got A Super Faint Deep Signal It Was Probably 2 3/4 Inches Deep On The Richter Scale. I Took My Time And Pinpointed The Target Then With The Skill Of A Surgeon I Carefully Dug Up This Coin Size Target And Put In My Jammies Pocket. I Then Took A Couple Of More Steps And Started Feeling Really Queasy I Could Also Feel This Freshly Dug Coin Kinda Pulsating In My Jammies Pocket. I Really Started Getting Scared So With The Speed Of A Wounded Duck I Quickly Ran To My VW. I Swiftly Popped The Trunk Open And Threw This Hoodoo Coin Which Was Now Getting Hot Into The Trunk. I Hopped Into To My Sweet Little Ride And Drove As Fast As I Could Go About 22 1/2 Miles Per Hour I Think The Speedometer Said. I Got Home About An Hour Later And Ran Into The House. I Quickly Grabbed My Camera So I Could Take Some Pictures Of This Hot Demon Thingy. I Just Knew In My Heart That Ol'Pappy Would Definitely Know The Ins And Outs On This Hot Demon Thingy. So Here I Am Pappy.... Ol'Pappy Can You Please Help Me And Tell Me Do Think This Coin Thingy Is Haunted Or What? The Picture On The Left Is What The Coin Does All Day Long. The Picture On The Right Is What I Looked Like Running To My Sweet Little Ride ........Thanks JJ

You really had me going.....good read though!

[MinelabMan]

You had me going also, I didn't know where though

[PAPPY]

If that is what the coin does all day it is certainly a haunted coin.Does it stand up by itself when you place it flat or do you have to start it turning and it turns on it's own? You need to get some new flip-flops.
