FOUND A TABMAN SPOT-:jump:

[kaolinwasher]

After 8 trips to this old farm lot with nothing , i was discouraged and was thinking of going to another spot , Glad i did not as i had searched a very small part so far . before the coins started coming up , I dug an old cloths pin part , and i thought I must be in the area of the old cloths line- I was using the Euro saber and the sharpshooter DD gain at 10 and threshold set at slight hum and disc all the way back , and the two tone feature set to on Iron gave the low sounds only then the brass started making the mixed sounds of low high, and when i hit the dime & quarter it was just a high tone , and what is cool is when you stick the pinpointed down and it makes no sound even at its deep setting so i dug a wide plug and down about 5" a black layer and that is where the coin came out i dug the nickel 1st and figured it was new clade then a foot over out comes the merc but i figured it was clad to it had a black ball of corrosion on it i could not tell what it was . then a little wile later i dug the quarter and it looked like clade to because it was green looking in the hole then i rubbed it and seen it was silver it was then that i figured the rest of them may also be silver , and they where, 1944 quarter 1945 merc and 1945 war nickel . Aparently they had been in a fire, you can see they almost got to the melting point and the surface bubbled and the quarter and the nickel are bent just a little this situation is what led to the sivear corrosion and it was just hell getting them clean . but i am very happy to find 3 in just one short dig I found a tab man spot , hopefully more in this spot i only dug a small earea in this dig about 5x5 feet suprisinly few nails .

I'm pretty sure Merc dimes are always silver. Rosie dimes can be either silver (64 or earlier) or clad after 64 except for special issue mint sets that were 40% silver, which I can't imagine anyone being goofy enough to carry around and lose outside, but you can always hope-

Nice finds Gunnar..

The Euro Sabre is a nice little detector, I bet there is more at your site, I 'd hit it like there was no tomorrow.

Good job bro! Glad the silver drought ended for you. Those coins have seen much better days that is for sure. Now get back there and give that place a good beating. Look forward to your update.

That brass thing , about the size of a half dollar is a watch back I thinkits about 1/16th " thick it may as well been a half dollar no one picked it . this lot has never been searched . and i ply have the permission to hunt it . my problem to has been not being able to get out as i had no car , now I do have one and got a nice spot to hunt and daily good detectors, one thing is for sure I am no great treasure hunter , just need a good spot , the opportunity to get to it , good weather & health, and a lot of patience.
