Nightray is a beast when it comes to detecting. I've hunted with Rob before when Ray lived in the east bay. Ray moved down near Santa Barbara a few years ago. Yeah he's always been a top tier detectorist. We meet up in Tonopah a couple of times a year, you should join us, it's always a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 Update.....hit this same park yesterday for two hours and found a 1919 mercury dime and five wheat cents. There's more ground to detect in this "hunted out" park. It's still giving up many high tones like clad quarters, dimes and copper pennies which means there might still be more silver lurking under the turf. I'll keep hitting the local parks until the snow melts in the Sierra's, then it's back to the mother load for gold nuggets. Happy Hunting to All!

I can see that from the photo. I counted 27 clad dimes alone and might have missed a one or two and that's in two hours. Clearly you're a fast recoverer. Are you just focussing on the nickel and copper/silver signals and ignoring foil, pulltab, and zinc? Nice Merc. Even worn ones are classy looking. Did it have a mintmark?

Rob Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 GB_Amatuer, I dig it all. Eroded zinc pennies go in the garbage with the pull tabs, foil and can slaw. I'm always happy to dig nickels.....you never know, it could be a gold ring. The merc had no mint mark. HH, Rob 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
