Recommended Posts


Nice finds! It's good to be getting out again. This coming week is promising. ? Did you get a ring too?

7 silver coins in 2 days (and one is a quarter) -- I'd say that site has barely been detected, if at all.  Well done and I predict there are more oldies there to recover.  What's your Wheaties count?  Have you checked date+mm of those?

Are you discriminating out nickels?  Surely some Wartime (35% silver) in there, too, not to mention the potential for a key or semi-key date.

No disc. I dug 27 nickels altogether.  I was hoping for a war nick too because the place was built in 1946.  As far as wheaties, I dug 10.  They’re usually so toasted that I don’t check the dates on all of them.

Congratulations on the great finds over the weekend and especially that 1916 Merc!  I'm thinking that you have some close to virgin ground there.  I would start gridding the area off and detect it from two directions and concentrate on those deep silver tones!  NCtoad are you using the Equinox?  Good luck when you get back in there.
