Hello once again fellow treasure hunters! Back with yet another round of finds from my last hunt. I would like to start off by saying that the first 2 pics are from an hour hunt on last Thursday Evening. I figured I would post them as well, even though no Silver was found. These finds consisted of 1 Indian Head dated 1905 and 6 Wheats dated 1936-d,1937,(2)1941-d,1944, and 1945-d. 4 of these Wheats came from 1 hole. Now with that said, let's get to the Sunday's Finds.
Sunday, Dale, Tim and I decided to get out and do some detecting since both Dale and Tim were tied up doing other things on Saturday. We did fairly well on Sunday. We hunted a few different spots consisting of a couple different Parks, a Ball Diamond and a Fairgrounds. Almost every site we tried we were able to scrounge up something old so we have a few more spots to detect at now that will give up some keepers when needed. Tim was off to a great start early, with his first coin being a No Date Standing Liberty Quarter within minutes of just starting. He then went onto finding Wheats and the usual Silver. He did well with 4 Barber Dimes, a Silver Quarter, a few Merc's, and a few Silver Rosie's. He also found one heck of a find early in the hunt that morning, one which blew away any chance for me or Dale to match. Tim told me that he had gotten a Wheat Penny Signal and dug the target. Once found, he went over the hole and got a 47-01 on his E-Trac. He told me that usually this will be a hot rock but since the Penny was found in that hole, he decided to investigate further and see what the item was. He dug down and at 12"-14", he saw what it was. It was Silver! First, he thought it was a Half but was soon rewarded with the find of the day. An 1882-s Morgan Silver Dollar!!! A little later, he walked over to me and was smiling about something. I asked him what he found and he told me that I wouldn't believe what he just found. I immediately said a Half but he said that wasn't it. I then knew what he must have found and I really was hoping for him to tell me different but it didn't happen this time. He replied back,"an 1882-s Silver Dollar". Immediately, I told him that he was a Lucky $@&!%$ and then told him later, "just watch, now you will find a Half and then you will have all the Big Silver". About an hour or so later, that is exactly what happened. He yells over from a different site that we visited that he has just dug a Walker. Again, I complimented him like before, with Tim only smiling and laughing, knowing that he was kickin' Dale's and my butt pretty good on finds. By the end of the day, Tim had found 1 Silver Dollar, a Walker, a Standing Liberty Quarter, a Silver Washington Quarter, 4 Barber Dimes, a few Merc's and Rosie's totaling 13 Silver for the day. He also found a few Indian Heads, a few Wheats, and a Silver Ring.
Dale found only 3 Silver, them being 1 Silver Washington Quarter, 1 Merc and 1 Rosie. He also found a few Indian Heads and some Wheats along with a Buffalo Nickel and a Good For 5c In Trade Token. He also dug a pin from Class of 1977. He may have had other finds but I don't recall if he did or not. For some odd reason, it was an off day for Dale in the Silver Finds category. Usually, he has just as many and sometimes even more Silver than we do but not this time. I think I figured out what the problem was and told him tonight on the phone what must have happened. I told Dale that his Explorer XS was upset with him since he left her sitting last time in the car for over half the day while he got newly acquainted with the Safari, his second love. I think Dale is going to really have to start sucking up to his XS if he ever wants her to be the same again. Isn't that right Dale???
As for me, I ended Sunday with more finds than I thought I had. If it wasn't for Tim's Silver Dollar, it would have been a fair match and almost an even score of goodies. I ended the day with 12 Silver, them being 1 Walking Liberty Half Dollar dated 1945-d, 1 Barber Quarter dated 1900, 1 Silver Canadian Quarter dated 1940 with a hole in it, 6 Mercury Dimes dated 1923,1936,1941-s,1942-d,1943,1943-d and 3 Rosie's dated 1951-d,1959-d and 1961-d. However hard I tried, I could not walk over top of an Indian Head, which really was a bummer since I was really hoping to find at least one. Next time will be my time! I also dug 24 Wheats. They were dated 14,19-s,25-d,(2)28-d,34,(2)36-d,37,37-d,41,41-d,(2)44-d,45,(3)45-d,(4)47-d and (2)58-d.
It was another very successful hunt and finds so far for the year look to be in abundance and hope that they will continue to be all year long. I would have gone more in depth during the hunt but I figured I would let your eyes rest due to all the other great finds being posted recently, which I still have to comment on. Anyways, thanks for taking the time and looking at yet another one of my posts of finds and hope that your hunts are just as fun and rewarding as mine are. To you all, Good Luck and HH and until next time, keep pluggin' away![attachment 124528 DirtyInjunampWheats.jpg][attachment 124531 CleanedInjunampWheats.jpg][attachment 124522 DirtySilver.jpg][attachment 124526 CleanedSilver.jpg][attachment 124521 DirtyWheats.jpg][attachment 124523 CleanedWheats.jpg]
