Put in about 10 hours the last two weeks. Pulled a '17 Merc out of one local park. Went about 10 miles to another park and pulled out about 4 wheats (three of them are the 1910, '11, and '12). Also hit a 2 dime silver hole (another 17 Merc and the "KEY" date barber dime).
The next hunt involved searching for an old abandoned park. Haven't found it yet, but did manage a '51d wheat in the search. Was lucky to find that even.
Today was a good day. About 2 hours of swinging at a place I've been wanting to detect at but grass has been too tall. First hit was a 36d wheatie. Next the 1910 barber dime (its the one too shiny to see the date). Found a couple more wheats and then the 1919 Merc. Good potential there as its a big area. There's also some places to use the 2-tone ferrous as I didn't find much for pull tabs and can slaw...and some spots hit about 4-8 nails per one-way swing.
Went once during the week for about 20 minutes close by and pulled out the 1893 IH. Have you every detected while holding the 1 year old and keeping an eye on the 3 year old???
Lastly went to a park where I've hunted before. Still haven't pulled any silver there yet, but I happened upon about 3 wheats...all were about 7" deep.
Now about the "KEY" date barber dime. Well I sure wouldn't have know it until I cleaned it up....but you have to be tickled about finding something like this.
Do you think I ought to have it slabbed?????
That is the most worn out silver dime I've ever seen!!!!
Take care and happy huntin'!!!
