Yesterday I spent the day gathering and bagging leaves, trimming shrubs, and doing other work around the house. I had hoped to get out for an hour or so to detect, but it was too late in the day for that. I did manage to get out today though, and ended up scoring with several nice silver coins.
The first silver coin was a 1946 Rosie. I dropped the towel to mark where I dug the dime and began to slowly circle outward, hitting on another nice sounding target about three feet away from where I dug the Rosie. I cut a plug and dug up a beautiful 1939 mercury dime.
Continuing with the circle, I came across yet another tone, this one sounding a tad deeper than the first two. Again, I cut a plug and dug up some soil. I was rewarded with a great looking 1911-D Barber dime! A silver dime trifecta within an hour. Sweet! :thumbsup01:
I kept circling for a few more feet before heading toward the towel. I began walking around from there, and about 25 minutes later I hit on a very good tone. This time the target was a 1903 Barber dime. Circling only produced clad coins this time, but walking around after that did yield me another silver dime, a 1935 mercury dime. Here it is still in encased in soil.
It was another 45 minutes before I hit on my last silver coin, a dateless Standing Liberty quarter. I was stoked! :grin:
Here it is giving me a glimpse of its reeded edge.
And after removing some of the soil.
Today's silver take.
HH!
