Did not have a good time yesterday morning climbing up an 850' mountain looking for old silver.
Others in my MD club have been up there and found some old stuff, so I climbed up there looking for my share.
I eneded up finding nothing but 2 pull tabs, my detector and coil was a poor choice because EMI was too heavy and the coil was too small to get the right depth when I turned the sense down, and I lost my Lesche in the deep leaves for 20 minutes but luckily I found it again.
Next time I go up there I am taking my Vaquereo so hopefully I will have a better time of it.
Eventually I came down and just hunted the picnic area at the bottom that has been there for yars, is very trashy and I have hunted before.
THAT'S where I came across this little lady...a shallow find only about a 1/4 inch deep, and it looks like it was lost just a few days after it came from the mint.
I have gotten good at finding jewelry, this is the year I am going to try to get better at finding silver coins and this is a great start!
