Digger Don

We started out this afternoon at a house built in the 1890s. I dug a pretty cool skeleton key with nice green patina and a 1952 Rosie. Alec dug a 1917 Merc. We did a couple more small houses, but got nothing but clad and Wheats.
Just as we were leaving town, we spotted a gorgeous old house with a pretty large lawn. We stopped, got permission and started to hunt. I wasn't on the lawn more than 2 minutes, and I got a 12-41 at 8" . I thought I was digging a wheat but out pops a 1964 Washington. I re-swept the the plug and got another 12-41. Ok, now I'll dig the wheat. So I open up the plug, scoop some more dirt out and out pops another 1964 Washington. That's the first Silver quarter spill for me.
About 20 minutes later, Alec got a nice high tone and dug a 1951 Washington quarter. We dug 12 wheats today as well.
It seems like we both got a little reckless with our diggers today.
