I went back to the town I found my Barber dime in and hit more sidewalks on Saturday. Judging by what I`ve covered so far, its gonna take awhile to completely
hit this place!
The day started out slow with a wheat on the first hole again, and then a few wheats but mostly clad for the next three hours until I hit a strip closer to the
middle of town and after some digging, I was able to find a 1962 Rosy, first silver of the day, nice.
Shortly after it started raining, so I went and got something to eat, and then decided to try the other side of town, after about an hour I was by a little church
and dug up a shiny Rosy, I thought I had another silver, but the rim wasn`t shiny so I cleaned it a bit and it was just a clad dime, bummer.
After a couple more hours I was thinking I wasn`t gonna find anymore today, so I decided to walk a couple more blocks, then hit another smaller town on the
way home.
About halfway thru the next block I got a 27-29 signal that was jumping around a bit and high toning, so after digging the hole, it took awhile to find the target
which was a 1940 Mercury! I proceeded to fill in the hole and when I got up I ran the detector over it like I always do and got another hit.
I opened back up the hole and had to widen it a bit and after digging around some more, out pops a 1943 Washington! Wow! my first silver spill!!
Glad I kept going, so that kind of pumped me up to go on for another hour or two, so after finishing that block I drove over to the next block.
Once I got out of the truck I went about 50 feet down the sidewalk and got a strong signal again, after getting the plug out I see another shiny in the hole!
Turns out to be silver number four of the day, a 1943 Merc! After that I found a few more wheats and it was time to go home, I was tired!
Didn`t realize it at the time but I ended up with 20 more wheats for the day, another good day of digging.
Also found a couple of baby birds during the day, must have been the day for them to leave the nest.
