Strike while the iron is hot....

[JimmyCT]

MikeK from Ohio and fwcrawford mentioned to me, "strike while the iron is hot" lol. After having lunch on Saturday, I travelled back out to the hunting spot where I found several other nice coin finds. (see posts below) Managed to find a merc dime and a 1700's coin!! It is a British Half Penny that was produced from 1729 - 1754 !! ( a big thanks to Coin Detective Fwcrawford for identifying the coin)
In the last year, I found 3 other 1700's coins, a 1856 half dime and an 1806 half penny, over 40 silver coins and 3 colonial lead seals not too far from my current location.
Historical land records and maps list nothing for structures. In any case, I am happy.

I was not expecting anything spectacular, but boy did I get the shock of a lifetime, another one off my bucket list.

I had only a couple hours to hunt and figured I'd go mess around at this little grass strip that borders a kiddie play area and the main road. Upon looking at this area, it doesn't look like much to be desired..... After hitting the Ben Franklin Half (I can now take this one off my bucket list)...

Went back to the little grass strip and met Carson City

Went back and enjoyed another 3 hours in the little grass strip and found an 1877 CC Seated Dime!! Also found a few Wheaties as well. What a fantastic little spot this was for me. :) Detector: Minelab Equinox 800 Settings: park1 - Multi sensitivity - 23 Volume - 24 50 tones left GB at 0...
