Got out this morning for a two hour tour. Decided to hit a couple of the woodchip totlots, $0 at one so on to the next. $0.06 at second location but plenty of grass area to play. Jkline pulled a Barber quarter out of here earlier so I started a grid pattern out from a covered picnic area. Glad I did as I started getting coins.
Hit two stacked coin columns, one was three dimes and the other was three quarters. In the same grid line I hit yet a third high 80s numbers and up popped a 71 Kennedy Half!
Next row over I slammed a solid 89-90 at 10” indicated. I was getting a solid four way hit so hoping for something good! Right at 9” the pinpointer was buzzing solid so new I was dead on top of it. Started to dig a ring around it and flipped the plug, SILVER!!!!! Wait, its smooth…… get it pulled out and it was a button battery (bottom of photo) just a bit bigger than a nickel. Well pooh. Only other find was a small religious pendant stamped “Anson Pewter” on the back.
Going to start an online petition to make battery manufacturers make those batteries some obnoxious bright color so I dont “have the big one” next time.
