Hey everyone,
The sun is setting at 4 PM in Seattle this time of year so I strapped a headlamp on for some more night hunting. I was continuing to do the sidewalk strips outside my neighbor's house where I found a few wheat pennies a couple nights ago.
I redid the area I was before and found a wheat penny about 10 minutes in. After almost another hour and a half I'd found mostly just junk:
I was about to leave because I hadn't found much of interest and was getting hungry when I saw this pile of sticks I had detected around earlier:
The space they covered can't have been more than 4' x 4'. I was wondering if I should bother to move them to detect under them before leaving and curiosity got the best of me.
Immediately upon putting my detector where they were I got a decent hit at 5"-6". Out popped the first Rosie. "No way!" I was thinking "what are the chances?". A couple steps later I get a so-so signal at the same depth, out pops the second Rosie. Those were the only two signals under the pile!
I carried on a little while longer and found the second wheat. I also found the silver plated spoon ring earlier in the evening.
Dates on the coins:
-Rosies (49-S, 59-D)
-Wheats (52-D, 53-S)
Thanks for looking and luck in the hunt!
