and it took a few months later and the Explorer to get it. The detecting weekend started Friday, I took out the Explorer for its first real hunt and logged about four hours. Found clad and some wheats. The depth I was getting was great. Next day I meet up with LI TOM and we hit our regular park. Third coin dug was a Rosie that came out of 6 inches even. A while later a second Rosie comes to light from about 3 inches. I also found the small medal pictured.
Tom found some really nice pieces, one in particular I really liked. Heavy non-coin silver, it had some heft to it. Tom knows I'm always hungry for some silver and on Sunday, I couldn't help myself. Took out the Explorer again, and this is where things got interesting. I thought it would be a swing in the park, at a park I have been to before. I pictured the Explorer finding all those good coins I missed with the 250. Not to be so. It was some hard digging in that dry brittle soil. A few wheats here and there along with the clad. And then I found myself near the tree where I had found the double silver quarters in the same plug. I knew exactly which tree it was (Fourth from the row) and could see a very slight indentation where I had dug (I always try my best to cover my tracks). I looked at it and thought, I should swing my coil over it. Sure enough, I get one of those signals where the little box on the graph wants to jump out the screen top/right. I dug and 4 inches further down at close to a seven inch total appears a third roosevelt for the weekend. I had a grin on my face with this one. The explorer in my inexperienced hands is finding me some deep dimes, clad or not, it's fun to dig these dimes to the point you're ready to quit and there they appear, 6 or 6+ inches down.
