Awesome hunt with 2 Trifectas!

This weekend I decided to go to a park that is in an old town and dates back at least to the 1870's. I have hunted this park a couple times in the past but never found anything until last year when I found a couple wheat pennies. I thought I would put on the Ultimate Coil and go slow and dig all of those iffy deep signals.

My first iffy signal turned out to be a 1900 Indian in TERRIBLE shape...but I was happy and optimistic! After about 5 hours I had a bunch of trash but a great variety of old coins! About 15 Wheaties, 1925 and 1936 Buff, 1889 V nik, 1943 War nik, 1898 and 1900 Indians, 1957 Rosie, 1937 and 1918 Mercs, a 1904 Barber dime, a 1945 Washington and sweet old 1881 H Canadian Quarter! I am now VERY confident that there are more oldies there and hopefully a seated coin. Only the quarters were obvious signals, all of the others were scratchy, irony, nulling out, odd numbers, crappy but deep signals.

My last hole was a spill with the 1918 merc and the 1904 Barber in it. It was dark and I knew I had an old slick silver...was hoping for a seated but not this time.

I also found a couple marbles. Always a bonus when one of those show up in the hole.

I am hoping to get out tomorrow weather permitting so I might get one more hunt in this year. If not then this last hunt was a great one to end the year!

Spectacular hunt! I love the 1881 Canadian Quarter! :loveit:

I bet there are more goodies in that park for sure. Best of luck on your return trip! :thumbsup02:
 
Awesome hunt. Great bunch of coins there.

I agree with Tony, that 1881 Canadian Quarter is cool. I've never seen one that old posted before.
:congrats:

I found one back in July I think, in much better condition from 1874. They are the only Vicky quarters I have ever found.
 
Incredible hunt for sure! Not many areas left any more with that kind of silver just laying around! :lol:

I don't think you will be detecting tomorrow if you get hit with this storm headed your way. We just got about 6" of wet heavy snow and ice which is drifting because of 50 MPH winds! :frozen:
 
That's a decent hunt at a park. Makes me think to check again, the park where I was finding wheats. It was weird how I was finding them just away from a walk path, but it was not the area that seemed heavily used. I figured the spot directly across from a farming academy would be used the most, but only had modern clad.

You should put the war nickel with the other nickels, otherwise it doesn't look like there is a second trifecta. Lol. I do understand it was put will the rest of the silver.

Well I did manage to get out today for a few hours. We did not have too much snow so I was able to swing the detector a bit but I only found a wheatie and a 1940 Jefferson. Oh well...had to try! That was the last hunt for the year for me! Crazy good year for me...time to do some research for the spring. Keep warm!
