I was able to get out for a few afternoon hunts this week, with today's hunt being the most productive. The one park I hunted this afternoon yielded eight silver dimes.

These are from the earlier hunts. The Roosevelt dimes are not old, but they are silver. ;) The other item is a piece of sterling silver jewelry.

Two more coppers, but much too corroded to be able to make out any details. :bummer:

The content of this old compact had been rattling, and it sounded metallic. :cheesysmile: Unfortunately it was not a coin making the noise, but the loosened metal base of the compact. :ticked:

An old religious pendant and several wheat cents were among the recent finds.

These are the finds from today's afternoon hunt. I detected for 4 1/2 hours before calling it a day. It was getting late and I had a long drive back home.

I knew you were too quiet lately, and up to no good I see :lol: Nice silvers and believe it or not, one of these days you are going to find a nice copper too :rofl: Almost at 500 and that is amazing! Great hunt!!
 
Impressive as always, Angel. Too bad about those coppers, I know your pain.

They sure don't hold up well at all. :bummer: The parks out here are copper killers. I am happy to have found them though. :grin:

I do have a good collection of copper washers.:lol: I did find a few that are in fairly good condition, so I can't really complain. :yes:

I did try to make the 500 mark with that last hunt, but the park shut me out.:lol:
 
Nice finds, too bad on those coppers you find. What is it in the soil by you that ravages the coppers?
 
Thats cool the compact still has the...the...ahh....pad thing in it!! :lol:

Awesome as always :thumbsup01:
Congrats :grin:
