Back to the same site that yielded 6 silver coins yesterday in 4 hours including a Barber Q. Today it continued to produce in the 3 hours that I was there.
First silver hit was a Merc and then a second Merc in the same hole! A little later a silver Rosie at about an inch or so - this one surprised me (looks like it was hit by a lawnmower - I didn't damage it). Ending the hunt with an additional Merc. The oldest is 1920.
I found the lead (?) charm in the shape of a bomb during the hunt. The site is very near a war memorial - I thought it was a pretty neat find esp. when I saw the little loop on it.
I also dug 14 wheat cents including a 1909 and a 1919 and a Canadian cent from 1956 whic puts it in the "keeper" category.
This is a great site, I got 4 silver dimes and no clad dimes at all today - very few Memorial cents. With all of the silver that I've recovered and the Large Cent I don't think this site has been hunted or hunted very lightly. I'm convinced that this place is still loaded with silver and perhaps a lot of it is deeper than I can get with the Pro coil. I may try the WOT or the new SEF there to get some of the real deepies.
