Had the pleasure of getting out with Steve (1147SILVER) at one of his sites. We didn't have much time to detect but a couple of hours. But what a site it was :shocked04: :drool: :drool: I'm sworn to secrecy, so all I can tell you is that it is in the USA lol Thanks Steve for letting me tag along. Here's the junk first...not too much

And all of the better finds

Got 8 quarters, 3 dimes, 9 Memorials, 7 Wheats, 1 Indian (1889) and 1 lovely Seated Dime (1877) :smitten:

Also got a very old watch winder and some kind of ornate handle :confused:

Here's the Indian and the cleaned Seated Dime

Thanks again Steve for a great hunt. I may be getting the hang of this turf hunting ;)

I don't know what's going on :confused: I have found more Seated this year than Mercs :dontknow: I ain't complaining though lol I'm hoping it is because I am getting the hang of the E Trac for finding deeper coins at parks and finding the tiny targets at cellar holes. Or it could just be luck lol Hope you get one soon.
