I ended my silver drought with a short park hunt

[Goes4ever]

After work I hit a small, and I mean small park..........1.4 acres to be exact. NOT 14 acres....lol, but 1.4 acres.

anyhow, I have hunted here in the past with my xterra and never even found a single wheat. I went there today and told myself I would dig anything that had a CO number of 30 and above that was 6" inches or deeper. Well I dug some odd numbers and I ended up with 5 wheats and a 1917 merc dime...YES! ended my 2 week silver drought!

The craziest one was the 1910 wheat, it gave me a screaming 01-35 signal, at 2 ways, both directions it read the same, nice and clear. Now normally I will not dig anything with a FE number of 01 because 99% of the time it only hits one way and it is almost always bent nails. But this hit from two ways clear as a bell, it was a good 8" deep and laying flat.

We never doubted for a moment that those "silver bells" would be ringing for you soon!

Must have been something in the hole with it.
Congrats on the finds, Don't rule out 01-41 to 01-43.
Thats what silver dollars will come in at!
I just love those Mercs!

Nice finds, I have been getting a lot of them 01-35 signals that turn out to be Indians, I've been flipping over to TTF to clean the signal up.

yes I thought that too.........but after I pulled the cent out, I re-checked the hole in quick mask and there was nothing else there.

Goes4ever, I told you that if you keep swinging that you would have some luck. I would bet that all detectorists who sat home watching games didn't find anything.
