I got out with Tim and Dale on Saturday for awhile and hit a few spots. We all got some Keepers but we were hoping for better results. At least we got out and enjoyed the day doing what we really enjoy doing. Not sure on totals for Tim and Dale but they found a few Silver and a few other Coins also. I wasn't finding too much at the beginning but by the end of the day, that is when the Coins started surfacing. Wish we would have found this spot earlier since I know there is still Coins there to be found. Not bad for the first time out this year but I think it could have been better. Here's what I got on Saturday. I ended up with 5 Silver which were 2 Barber Dimes dated 1898 and 1906, and 3 Mercury Dimes dated 1918,1923-s, and 1937-d. The '98 Barber Dime was the first Silver I found and it was a weird Signal. It was bouncing around a lot (low 20's on up to 28 on Digital) and was found about 7"-8" Deep. I am pretty sure it was on Edge since I ended up scratching it while digging for it. I hate that feeling when you know its a Good Old Coin and then you flip the Coin over and find out that you nicked it while trying to recover it. There is a bit of a blemish before the scratch which also tells me it had to be on edge from the blade rubbing against it. I'm just glad it was a Common Date and also that it didn't have any Liberty visible on the Head Band. I also found 1 Buffalo Nickel dated 1936-d. For Pennies, I found 11 Wheat Pennies. They are dated 19,19-d,25-d,28,28-d,37-s,42-s,(2)45-s,46-d, and 47-d. All and all, it was great to just get out again and start popping out a few Silver. I got my Silver Fix! I also dug some Clad which was 37 Pennies, 4 Nickels, 18 Dimes and 18 Quarters. I could have had much more but I figured I best focus on the Deeper Targets since every Coin I dug that was fairly Shallow was something New. I also found a Key, a Hair Berrett of a Crayon, and some other item that has bendable clasps on the back. I really hope on getting out next weekend but that will only depend on the weather. Thanks for looking and hope you enjoyed the pics. Until next time! Good Luck and HH to you all.[attachment 85622 DirtySilver.jpg][attachment 85633 CleanedSilver.jpg][attachment 85627 DirtyNickelandWheats.jpg][attachment 85635 CleanedNickelandWheats.jpg][attachment 85624 DirtyMisc..jpg][attachment 85634 CleanedMisc..jpg]
