Here's some finds I got doing a few different locations the last 2 times out.
The Indians came from 2 different Parks with a Wheat Penny and a Merc, so those Parks are just about cleaned out I would say.
The rest came from a boulevard that I hadn't done yet and I didn't want all them Older Coins to be lost when they are tearing up the boulevard to match the Curb and Gutter height. The first swing, I found a Mercury Dime so I knew there was a chance for some Keepers still, even if this had been gone over by someone else about a month ago. It took me a good 3 hours or so to hunt this boulevard due to how long it was, which was about 2 city blocks, but it was worth every minute just to save them Coins from being lost forever. I would get a Wheatie here and a Wheatie there and finally, I got in front of a house and the first swing, got that Silver Signal that we all love to hear. I dug down about 4" and out popped a Silver Rosie. Next to this, there was another Signal and dug it and another Silver Rosie. I got up by the sidewalk and got another Silver Hit and dug it and yet another Silver Rosie. I wish the entire boulevard would have been like this but it wasn't, the coins being spaced out further than this. I also found 4 or 5 Wheats in 1 hole which really was fun hoping to see Silver but nothing came to light. I also found a neat Older Brass Bell that reads Fargo, No. Dak. on it that must be from the 50's. There is also an Older Tootsie Toy Jeep with Rubber Tires that I didn't post a pic of that is still in the Van that I found on the Boulevard as well. Hopefully this next weekend, I can get out both Saturday and Sunday and find a spot that will help me out with filling the categories for the next find of the month coming up very soon. Now lets get to the totals.
I found 7 Silver this time. They included 4 Mercury Dimes dated 1924-d,1941-d,1941-s, 1944-d, and 3 Roosevelt Dimes dated 1952,1959-d, and 1961-d. I also found only 1 Older Jefferson Nickel that was dated 1958-d. There was quite a few Nickels found on this boulevard but nothing Old. 2 Indian Heads were also found which are dated 1895 and 1902 along with a Canadian Penny dated 1951. The Wheats and Misc. will be in Part:2. Hope your having some luck out there in your hunts and thanks for looking. Good Luck and HH.

I really like that old bell. That's pretty cool. That "ole" XS just keeps on finding the good stuff and if the day ever comes when my XS dies it will be a sad day in detectorville
Keep up the nice finds and as always, HH my friend.
Seriously though, I hope you get out and do some hunting and find somewhere where the ground isn't like Concrete Charles. Good Luck and HH when you do get out.
