Hello!

Haven't been out detecting much because life is too busy and the weather has been too hot!

Today, the wife and I took a little drive out of town to do some anitque shopping. I secretly stowed away my e-Trac in the trunk just in case I got a chance to detect! The last couple hours of the day I got to hit a big open grassy area at OSU in Corvallis! I dug a 1899-S Barber dime, 1915-S Buffalo Nickel, 1917-D Buffalo Nickel, a big sterling silver St. Christopher Medallion, 3 wheat cents dating in the 1940's, and a bunch of clad.

The 2 buffalo nickels were found together in the same hole! WOOHOO!!

The St. Chris medallion is 12.6 grams of sterling silver! The back is engraved LOVE ALWAYS COLLEEN

THANKS for looking!
Neil

Nice finds Oddcoins, it great you were able to get out.

I'm going to have to stow the detector in the car on outings like that, just in case.
