I had just a fabulous detecting weekend.....
friday night I went to a park that was started in 1954, went to dig nickel signals hoping for a buffalo, but got even better, a 1901 V nickel!
Saturday started off rough, in the morning just got clad and some wheats, went home ate, rested a bit and went back out with another buddy. We hit a farm where I got an indian, rosie and some wheats. Then I hit one more house for 30 minutes and got a two indian spill. Takes me to 58 indians for the season.
Sunday OhioCoinhunter (Dan) drove up to hunt with me as I had permission to hunt a 1890 farm that I got from craigslist, got 2 mercs and 5 more wheats there. I spotted a nice looking farm across the street, and when we were leaving I saw someone pull in the drive. So we pulled in right behind them and asked permission. The owner granted permission and we were off.
First target of the yard was a 09-46 at about 5-6 inches. Hole was solid roots, but I kept at it hoping for silver, well silver it was, and BIG silver...1895-O barber half dollar! Got some more wheats there and we moved along in search of greener pastures.
We spotted a house in town with a large lot, stopped, knocked and got permission. At this time I was at 99 silver, looking for #100, I started off with a 4 wheat spill, then got a iffy quarter signal, dug down and got a 1942 quarter for my 100th silver of the year. Then I got another merc, (silver #101) bunch more wheats, and lastly the sterling ring. I won't mention what Dan found, don't want to ruin his story, but he got something good, a first for him!
Great weekend, great weather, awesome finds! can't ask for more!
The dirty pic is just from todays finds, which is 85% of the weekends finds anyhow..lol
