I met up with Zrickkid again after work tonight. The days are getting shorter, but we had time for one house. On my first pass up along the side walk, I got a nice 12-45 at 8'. I said to Ricky " Got Silver" after digging the 8", out pops a 1947 Rosie. On my second pass back toward the street, I got another 12-45-46 not quite as deep. This time I thought it might be clad, but nope, it was another Rosie. a 1950. About 20 minutes later,I got another deep signal and dug a 1922 Rock Island 70th anniversary watch FOB. The back is pretty cool, it has 2 old locomotives and a rail road bridge over the Mississippi. Just as it was starting to get dark, I dug one more Rosie, a 1948. I also ended up with 3 wheats, the oldest a 1926 and a few nickels, the oldest a 1946.
Thanks for looking.

Thanks Guys.
This has been my first full season of metal detecting. I got to tell you, I've had a blast. I've met some new friends, had some real lucky finds. and spent a lot of quality time with my son. I'm sure glad i found this Hobby !!!!!!!!!!!

Love the railroad fob! :loveit: That's a great find, Don!

It's fascinating how many Rosies you find. Clearly that is the result of door knocking and hunting virgin yards. There are very few Rosies left in public places, but they can still be plentiful in private yards.

:congrats:

Nice hunting, any hunt with triple silvers is a good one in my book. That fob is great. This has been a fantastic year for you and looking forward to more posts before the snow fly's.
