I decided to go to a park that I had hunted last year that didn't yield me anything but a bunch of clad. It is an old park, but I just couldn't get anything. I figured it was slammed over the years. It sits in a small amish community that dates back to the 1840's. I took my daughters with me today to let them play as I detected. I turned the machine on and in the first 5 feet, I got my first signal. It was the deepest Mercury Dime I have found to date. It was nearly 9 down... 1918 S. I continued on and found an old set of horseshoe pits. Right next to the horseshoe pit I got an awesome 12-48 signal! I had a feeling it was a big silver, but most never pan out...This time it did! At 6 I saw the edge of a large silver...My very first dug Walking Liberty!!!...1943. I picked up a bunch more clad quarters and dimes...I only dug one penny signal...I like to get at least one wheatie per hunt
It was a rainy day today and I don't have a rainguard for my E-trac, so the hunt was cut short. Just before I left I found the old posts for a volleyball court that hadn't been used for years. I picked up a nice 12-45 and pulled silver #3 for the day! My first 3 silver day and my first Walking liberty! Here's the pics...I didn't get a pic of the merc in the ground...
