Corroded Copper, Small silver

[angellionel]

Yesterday I made the mistake of heading to the woods thinking it would not snow, except that the sky opened up on me when I started to detect. :shocked04: I kept at it anyway, but the only good find was a 1884 Indian Head cent.

Today I took a drive to another wooded area, but there was too much snow to deal with. I then headed back home and on the way I stopped at a local park to work a semi-wooded section. I dug up two silver coins from there, a 1905 Barber dime and a 1952 Roosevelt dime. In the mix too was a corroded 1846 large cent. They just don't hold up well at the parks.

Man them parks kill the large coppers. Nice to keep seeing silver though :yes: It must be the decomposing grass that turns them wheats that emerald green. I kinda like that emerald green, but not the other greens :rolleyes: Every bit adds up and it looks like you had another successful hunt. Boy that E Trac just can't seem to find silver :rofl:

Yeah, the large coppers do get killed at the parks. It hurts to get a good, deep signal, only to dig up a barely recognizable large cent. :bummer: The silver made up for it though. ;)

Thanks, Dan. :) It is a peaceful and quiet area, but better when there is no snow. :lol:

Nice finds, especially in the snow :) Beautiful barber dime.....

Have you ever found a copper in great condition? I wonder if the ground there is prohibitive to any coppers surviving.

I have, but not from any of the parks. A few town commons have produced better coppers. :)
