Nice start to Feb

[bunker314]

Had about an hour to hunt before dinner. Hit a neighbor's house where I have found a 03 Barber Dime and a Merc and Silver Nickel. I got a bouncy signal that was deep. Rang up mostly in the 33 range with a little chirp up to 37. I was thinking penny. Boy was I surprised when I saw the Merc in the dirt. (a good 9 inches) It is REALLY rough but I'll take it. Can't read a mint mark. Also found a 46 D penny in the yard next to this one while I was heading over. Found about 4 other clad coins to boot and very little trash. Lots of iron in the yard as well which really makes me work the coil.
Thanks for looking,
Bunker

Bunky- Always nice to see silver to kick off a new month, toasted or not. Looks like you still have some promising yards nearby. HH

bunker,

Nice finds and I am getting really jealous. I'm starting to consider taking a big hair dryer and a bunch of extension cords out to see if I can soften up a place to dig!

Later,
TomH

I read everyone's posts about finds in people's yards. So like Bunker I had an hour to kill before dinner and decided what the heck I'm not going to find anything but I get to have a bit of fun. I have a pool in back (no lawn) and the front yard is pretty small. But I was able to pull out a few coins. Two really exciting ones were both wheat pennies from 1945. WOW, Check those yards folks.
