    Got a few keepers and a Big haircut

    My day off today I headed out to a large sports complex north of me. I hunted a 50' x 25' area for about 3 hours, and found a few silver keepers, and some wheats. I did dig a few low tones and managed nothing but old pulltabs. This place is heavily infested with iron, and the half dollar and a couple dimes came up dark. I couldn't save the half, too much oxidation from contact with dissimilar metal. The thing was black. I tumbled it for an hour in a baking soda/non-abrasive mixture. Best I could do for now.
    Never dug a bicycle before, kinda cool. HH, ffd

    Man Mr. D you are on a silver half roll!!! Congrats on some great detecting. I don't have the patience in trashy areas. Shows what I'm missing. Keep those silver skills honed and show us the money!
