Did a little better than I expected

Just went to a spot down by a river today. I figured I might find a keeper down there, but was surprised that I actually snagged a few good ones:thumbup:

First good sign was when I dug a wheatie... A while later I got a nice dime signal, but it was only an inch or two down. I figured it was a clad dime, so I was happy
when I saw this.

A 1912 Barber dime:clapping:

About a half hour later I found a 1898 Indian Head Penny. An hour after that, as I was about ready to call it a day, I nabbed my second Indian Head.

A 1904 IH

Then 5 minutes later I dug a nickel signal.

Here's some other stuff including fishing weights & wheaties.

I would have liked to have done as well as you did.

I went out today to try to begin to master the E-Trac. It's significantly different than the
Explorer II I've been using for the last five years.

I did pull a 44 wheat out of the oldest park in town. The park was a mountain man retreat in 1826.
Jim Bridger was one of the mountain men who frequented the warm springs there long before the pioneers
came to the valley in 1847.
Later, when I went to one of the properties where I have a contract, I pulled out the Explorer II.

I've never learned how to upload pictures so all I can do is tell you what I found.

Pennies: 1906, 1918, 1918S, 1925, 1929S, 1953
Nickel: 1941
Relic: Stick Pin C.I. Case Thresher Machine Co. Incorporated Racine, Wis. Date @ 1880 - 1900
At one time it was gold plated, but that is all but gone.
By contract the property owner gets all jewelry and relics so the stick pin goes to him. I get all tokens
medals, medallions, and foreign coins. We split the catalog price of all U.S. coins.

I get to go back again tomorrow and finish what I didn't do this afternoon. Where there are that many old
pennies there has to be some silver in there somewhere.

Respectfully,

The Nutty Teacher
