Hi All,
Had a chance to go out yesterday while the wife was at a school function. Hit a 60 yr old Church with hopes of finding a few silver but mainly looking for toys etc from the big field (lots of kids there in the past). No luck on the silver or the toys. Did manage 5 wheats ringing up 37-38 with just a glimpse of 36. (That was how I knew it wasn't a dime.) Did find a holder of some sort, looks like a dragon on it. Gold in color but rang up in the high conductivity range. 38 if I remember correctly. Changed location to an old park that I hit when I first got my Safari, still no silver coins but a lot of clad and one silver pendant and the dog tag. A gentlemen was out digging in his yard marking sprinklers. So I went and asked him if I could help and he said he was having problems finding a couple. Scanned one, got the numbers (high toned 40), then proceeded to find the ones he was missing. He let me hunt his yard, quickly found a '53 rosie between the street and the sidewalk, had to leave, but I was invited back to finish the job. His house is in the original part of the city, so I know there must be some more old coins just waiting to be found. Got 68 coins in all totaling $6.16
Glad others are finally getting a chance to get out and shake off the cob webs!!!
