Great Day Digging with Widest Variety of Finds... Half Cent, 1800s Silver, to a Roosie!

Hello all!

I headed out to a site tonight that I have been at twice before... The site is a stand alone building built in the late 20's and farm land before that...

The pervious 2 hunts yielded 15-20 wheaties... a 1943 Huge Austrailian Penny... and 1944 Mercury Dime... Its about 3 acres... 1/2 of that being pretty grown over and can't swing there a lot... Late in the fall perhaps :)

The pervious hunts I used the 10X12 SEF.... Today I decided to use the 6X8 SEF as the targets I had recoverd were not over 6"...

Today started slow... I got 4 wheats in the first 15 minutes then quiet for over the next 30-45 minutes... a wheat here and there...

Then I got a rough nickle signal @ 3-4"... Out popped the 1936 Buffalo... 5 minutes later... a no-dater buffalo...

The last No-Dater Buffalo came in towards the end of the hunt...

Next up was a 1953 D Roosevelt Silver Dime...

The next Signal as a 12/29 in all directions... I was thinking token or... *shrug* I was not expecting this small silver coin...

1873 Silver 20 Pfennig...

Next coin out was a 1941 Silver Mercury Dime...

I got a iffy 12/42 12/46 signal @ 6-8" range... When I went to pin point the target is locked onto a 12/15 a few inches away that turned out to be a kids hair baret... Once I popped that out the 12/42 12/46 was a little more pronounced but not a banging signal... but enough to investigate and dig....

I was not expecting an 1810 Half Cent!

There was a total of 10 wheats in the mix...

You can see how small that 1873 German Coin is...

I had a great time... only one older Jeffereson in the mix, but all of the rest were keepers...

WOW, that 1/2 cent is too cool. That is a real oldie! The oldest I have ever found was a 1830 large cent. Keep up the good work!
