Where there is silver, there is no wheat.

[BigWaveDave]

There is an empty lot that a church uses for overflow parking, my permission is open for anytime other than Sunday mornings. There are targets everywhere, mostly trash and zincs on the surface. I cherry picked the high numbers, if there was a target below 80, I avoided it, unless it was deep. This is the kind of place that once a target is located, the dig sucks. A layer of gravel beneath the turf, followed with sugar sand. Aside from .53 in clad, there wasn't a single wheat penny to be found...
I am OK with that though, there was plenty of silver!

The 1943 P war nickel, two Mercs, 1927, and 1942 D, and my second fat Franklin in 3 weeks...WOO HOO!!!
The pres. token was a heartbreaker.... thought it was a Large Cent.



Thanks for looking!

I'd make that silver/wheat trade any day, Dave........good job on the diggin'. I've got a few of those church parking areas, too. My long staple puller/pry bar has gotten dull using it as a drill in those stones...............

Id rather find silver than harvest wheat I have had some good signals that I passed on that were in rock hard dirt where I needed a pick but very rare that I do That. Great Finds!!!!!!

Wow no messing with pennies, just straight to the good stuff. Great day you had

 

[BigWaveDave]

I'll get those pennies later, there are tons of them, my machine was singing all morning with targets.
Thanks for looking, hope to get more next week.

Superior Silver B "Dubbya" D! I expect my Lesche to ricochet off of rocks every time I dig something here in the Ozarks...good thing it is ONE TOUGH TOOL! I have yet to find any silver coin larger than a dime. So my bucket list is still full of "wants." I hope you find many more goodies on the "Blessed overflow" site. Sub

That is a great silver haul. Hopefully when you find wheat's you might find an indian or two.

Looks like a productive place to detect! Congratulations!

Been finding wheats a bit north of u in punta gorda. Finally got home and doing my first metal detecting ever. 4 days and a huge haul. Will have to my first post soon to show all I've found.

Your on fire! Good hunting, I want to see that token better, both sides please? I love tokens more than Mercs, sorry, I love Mercs too, but I love tokens more then Mercs! You can love Merc more than tokens. I'm just saying I love tokens, if you know what I'm saying? Just saying.

I drool over the turf in PG....I work up there a couple times a week, and it's all I can do to not secure permissions up there. Thing is, as a weekend warrior, it will take a lifetime to hunt FM... I can't wait to see you pull some serious coin, kinda makes me happy that a Tnet member is clearing out the history in Charlotte....good luck brother

I have only ever pulled 3 IH cents, all 3 were in a lawn from a home built in the 20's....There is more big silver in the ground here than Indians....and I'm ok with that that!
