Tonight I went armed with my detector and determined to pull an older silver from the site I have found 19 IH's, a V nickel, a buffalo nickel and lots of wheats on my last 3 hunts.

Signals are getting pretty sparse, but I finally managed to pull an older silver dime. :happydance01:

Also got a few more very nice IH's, a war nickel and two more V's. One is 1890 and the other is very rough, but I can make out 1883.

I sure am happy with the way most of these IH's are cleaning up. Some have virtually no circulation wear at all. Tonight, I just ran them under warm water while gently scrubbing with a soft toothbrush, then a little soak in some olive oil.

I'm hoping to get the go ahead to hunt the back yard too. The owner was telling me of where the carriage house once stood. :drool:

Here are tonight's goodies.
