This weeks keepers! First Big Silver!:detecting:

[jcooking]

Here are some keepers that I found in about the last ten days. I headed out the other day to a neighboring town to detect at an old school and when I showed up all of the sprinklers were running, darn! I decided to try a little downtown park there and am sure glad that those sprinklers were going. I detected for about twenty minutes when I got a signal that was a small to medium sized box that was switching between dime, quarter, and fifty cent. I pinpointed it at 5 inches and was so surprised when I dug out my first ever silver half!! I didn't find much more there besides one wheat. I also found my first silver canadian quarter at a park near my house this week, that was pretty fun too and it was accompanied by most of the wheats in the photo. A few days ago MontanaMatt and I went to an old property that was recently acquired by the city and is now a park. Be sure to check out his post too for some good keepers. We both had a really good morning and it was my first multi silver day with a Mercury and a silver Washington, Wow!! The other commerative coin that I found was deep and when I got it out of the ground, for a second I thought that I had found a dollar, what a heartstopper. It's a neat piece of Montana history and I love finding stuff like that. Here are this weeks rings, a couple of fakies that had me going for a second, two silver ( one with opal, the other is glass), and a junk with glass. I have been seeing some wheat to silver ratios posted around and these coins make 44 wheats and 14 silver for the year, I have been very fortunate with a 3.14 : 1 wheat to silver. A cool thing about all 3 of the American silver coins this week is that they are all 1945, weird huh?

That was a nice round of hunting! Not only are those dated 1945 but also in full EF to AU condition. (Your next goal should probably be to train that MXT to find Barbers like that!) Sounds like you have a lot of good hunting ahead of you. Congrats on the nice finds!

That is one fine half....and the others are sweet as well. Can't wait to find my first walking Liberty......It's sure good to know and see that there's still some out there for the rest of us.

Again congrats!!!
