Big Silver / Canadian Half Dime / Very Old Printing Plate

[floodplaindetector]

Finds are from the last 3 weekend hunts and a couple after work weekday hunts. All Finds were pulled from researched public city parks and school grounds with my XP Deus 2.
Most of the silver dimes and the Canadian half dime were pulled from North Dakota and All the big silver was pulled from Minnesota.
I worked on refining my nickel bin since my first post and I was able to start isolating some deep nickel targets. Coin depth ranges in this post were about 6-12 inches.
The half dollar wasn't very deep (about 6 inches) but was surrounded by iron and junk. A few of the dimes were on edge.
The Canadian half dime was pulled on Saturday. It was nice to see one of these as they don't come up often. It was an 84 signal about 8 inches deep similar to how an Indian head penny would read.

I believe that old lead printing plate to be a 'Deering' binder or reaper advertising plate. McCormick merged with Deering in 1902 so this would have to be pre-1902.
It was pulled from a railroad park and was about a foot deep. I reversed the orientation and image so it is a little easier to see.

The badly fire damaged melted coin was pulled at a turn of the century school yesterday. I ground off a little of the back and it appears to be an old silver quarter and was at least 9 inches deep.
Thanks for looking!
Dave

That V is in super nice condition.

That is similar to the ID I got on a barber dime at 9 inches my ID was 83 both ways but there was a fence staple with it have to dig those high IDS that are deep not many pull-tabs down there .Even 65 and up never know whats mixed in with it .
Great finds can't hunt much here ground is dust . sube

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Odanscoils]

Absolutely incredible hunt.
Your research is really paying off.
Excellent wright up. Thank You for posting.
My only question.
Are you just jumping into the site's randomly ?
Or is there focus zone for each one ?

 

[TerryEastTexas]

To say WOW is an understatement. But WOW!!!!!

 

[Rick(ND)]

Doing great there Dave and most say these areas been work to death, but you are proving them wrong.
Those Candian 5 cent coins are small and most disc them out and a great find when you can find them. I got 2 myself with the oldest one a 1893 and very nice shape too along with a 1871 IH penny and a diamond engagement ring that was old, all three where within 5 feet of one another that had been hit with many detectors before. Its was a site James told me about up north here in ND.

Nice to see you doing so well Dave and keep it up as there is more out there.

What's to say, Dave, you got it all down pat. Really like the Fish Scale and that V nickel looks like it was dropped right after being minted. Wonderful pile of treasure again. HH jim tn

 

[Ted S]

That was a lot of fun. Im sure. Nice to find an old spot that still produces silver !!!! Just love those walkers !!!! I remember my very first. As I removed the plug, I saw a 'line' of silver.
Perfectly perpendicular !!!! What a beautiful sight to see big silver in the ground !!!!

Congrats on great finds and great hunt !!!!

Spectacular stuff but NOT surprising coming from someone who knows how to hunt deep and find the very last “seeable” targets with what we have today. Imagine all the stuff that’s been found. Imagine what we are currently finding. Imagine what’s left. It’s completely mind boggling. It takes EXPERIENCE and SKILL to go find what you are actually looking for, both are shown here in spades.

 

[Mark ( ohio )]

GREAT GREAT AND GREAT !! Thats V nickel with full liberty is pretty darn impressive... Well done my friend.

 

[laplander]

Nice haul Dave!

Very nice finds. The 1905 V nickel is noteworthy because of very little wear and is in decent dug condition.

 

[floodplaindetector]

thanks for the replies everyone! Regarding a few of the questions. Yes, I really like swinging this blazing fast light machine and Deep HC is the Cat's meow.
Regarding the sites I hit and where I start on them: It depends on how many times I have been to them. Alot of times I will alternate my starting position but ultimately, I like to find the junkiest areas, especially with this new machine.
