I only had about an hour yesterday to hunt, so I stayed close to home and hit an old lot next to a Walgreens where they had taken out a house. I hit it year's ago and it had been a back filled dud, although I found a merc dime just laying on top of the ground when I did my first recon. Anyway.....
I parked in the Walgreens lot and started out. I didn't get more than 15 feet in front of the van when I got a multiple high tone signal. All in the low to high 70's. I actually thought about passing it up as the area is littered with can slaw and high toned junk. But, I started digging. all targets were about 5 inches deep or less. I spent the good part of a half hour on my knees and dug 11 quarters and 14 dimes with 4 nickels mixed in. All clad, nothing before 1970. In about a 4 feet square.Weird. So, you just never know. It was fun, but old silver eluded me. Good luck and HH. Bob.
