Well, today was my day.
We had a good soaking rain yesterday evening and into early morning so Chris and I headed out to a spot we hadn't been to for a while as the ground was just to tough for digging. This morning, the coins lit up like a Christmas tree. We hit the field at 7a and by 8 I had 6 wheats in my water bottle and Chris had some as well. Then for a while it was the usual trash, whats its and the occasional Memorial and clad dime. I then decided to work a patch of ground near some trees and pretty promptly got a short high tone. Upon getting back over the nice sounding tone I was seeing 90-92 numbers going across the screen and showing 6" deep. Dug and lifted out a muddy clump of sod and spotted the wide reeded edge of a coin completely on edge down in the bottom of the hole. Called Chris over and then pulled out the nice 1939 Walking Lady. About 30 minutes later got a nice classic silver quarter reading and recovered the 1941 Washington quarter.
As it turned out, that was it for silver for the day. I did end up with 10 wheat cents, a ?, 33, 57, 29, 26, 28, 18, 41, 52 and a 27. A nice Saint Francis Of Assisi Protecter Of Animals medal, a buckle, a bell with no writing on it and a big brass whats it. Chris says "it is probably from a C S bugle."
Chris ended up with close to 15 wheat cent. 5 came from one hole by some roots.
The first fresh from the ground shot is of the 62 Washington I dug a few days ago and is shown along with a 36 Mercury that I dug on the weekend the the cut Merc. I got yesterday. These are all lined up on the left side of todays better coin finds. HH jim tn
