We finally got a good rain which allowed me to return to a private lawn. It was so, so, so nice to finally dig in moist soil!
I was swinging the Deus and starting to get pretty worn down - I was just starting hour number of 3 of my hunt and the sun was starting to get warm. I got a rock solid 87 (18khz scale) which is in that skanky zone between indians and copper pennies. But it sounded really clean and crisp, so I dropped to dig. I sent my physical coin probe down and struck a coin at 1.5" inches, pulled my coin popper out and popped that sucker.
Missed it. A rescan with the pistol probe said it was gone so I got up and scanned the ground with the Deus. Nada. Inspected the coin popper and it had a little bitty piece of silver stuck to it
Moisture got me.
I thought I had my 3rd life-time half-dime at first, but closer inspection revealed to be a Canadian half-dime er - nickle
.
Earlier I'd found the merc almost sitting on the surface. Free silver to the first person to get a coil over it, I guess
I don't want to hex it or nothing, but that little Canuck nickle is my 4th medallion in 4 weekends. Idiotic luck and I am REALLY enjoying my good fortune. I might have even gotten another medallion:
I don't know what that it except it appears to have had a spot to be worn like a medallion I'd say that it was made mostly from zinc - the back of it is totally gone. It was around 5.5" down, hugging a tree root that had it sitting at a sharp angle. I found it on the way back to my vehicle.
Hope everyone has a good weekend!
