Trashy Curb Strip Silver And Wheatie

[dca2]

1st silver with my Equinox600!

I had a few minutes so I hit a curb strip dating to late 1880’s+. I have detected here several times and have found some clad, a 1916 Barber dime and a TON of Aluminum screw caps—really difficult hunting.

Today I hit it for the first time since getting a little more time on the nox. Park1, 23 sensitivity, 50 tones, ground balanced and noise cancelled. I found a 1941D merc at 7-8 inches. At 5 inches, there was a flattened aluminum cap directly above it and a large nail was just below the dime. Detector was giving a solid 23 with a quick 31 that just kept ringing from all angles. It just sounded “right?”

A few feet later I found a 1951 wheatie. This is fun!

Anyway, here it is:

Nice Merc!  Congrats on persevering through the trash to find that silver.  You're on your way now.

Awesome, I love to see silver in the hole.
