    4 silver day

    Checked out some parks and got a few wheats.

    Came home and was bored off my a$$ so I told the Mrs. I was going out again.

    Headed up to a spot that Mark, Neil and I have hit before. I pulled out a few silver ( Barbers and Mercs ) and a pin

    Today I head up there and managed to squeak out some silver.

    My first signal was 12-47 all the way. Thought it would be a quarter but it turned out to be a Boy Scout Coin.

    Short time later I dug a 1927D Merc.

    After a few minutes I pulled a 1954 Rosie.

    After a bit of junk I got a signal that was all over 7-46, 10-38, 13-44, 6-38 so " I dug it " why? I knew it would be trash.

    2 inches down I pulled the dirt out and I could see 2 silver dimes, 1942D and a 1945 Merc. The signal was jumping from some aluminum can on the side of the hole and a nail on the other side.

    How I pulled these out.......,,,,,,,, is pure luck....

    Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting

    Nice foursome, Bob-O-Link!!! Man, you found more mercs in one hunt than I've found all damn year. I've gotta look for some new spots. But you did get my Rosey...but hey, I'll let you keep it.
