Yesterday my plans for a late afternoon hunt were thwarted by rain and strong winds. I was hoping today would be better, and it was, so this afternoon I headed to a Connecticut park for a few hours of coinshooting. I selected an area I had not worked well on prior visits I had made to the park and detected there for three hours. It was a productive hunt, with the site yielding seven silver coins, the best ones being a scarce date 1921 mercury dime and a beautiful 1908-D Barber quarter.
Seven of the silver coins are from today's hunt. The 1948 Roosevelt dime I found while scouting a new park two days ago.
She may not be in the best shape, but finding a 1921 mercury dime in any shape is very exciting. :happydance01: Now I just need a 1921-D and 1916-D. :cheesysmile:
I just love the eagle design on the Barber quarters. :smitten: It was the first thing I saw staring at me from the bottom of the hole. :loveit:
The soil has stiffened enough to allow for clumps to be dug with the coins still embedded in them. Here is one of the Roosevelt dimes still encased in soil.
HH!

I didn't take photos of my last two hunts. I need to make a better effort to get good photos so I can post. thumbsup01
