Hey folks!
I got out this morning with newer forum member Lucas (NoThisIsPatrick) for some early morning hunting. We decided to check out a small park that’s been on my radar for a while and struck out quickly. It looks like it’s been hit pretty well at some point so there were hardly any high tones left.
He’s on the quest for his first silver coin so we opted to head into Seattle proper from there. It just has more history and opportunity than the outlying suburbs.
During my doctor visit yesterday I spied an old looking building I thought could hold some potential. We checked it out and it didn’t disappoint. I got 10 Wheats and a 25-S merc (career silver 200!) outside that building and Lucas pulled in 4 Wheats as well.
We exhausted that spot and headed to another part of town I’ve had in mind for a while. I haven’t detected much there before but I think that’s about to change.
First, while we were just walking from the car to the site with our gear, a homeless guy offered me two silver dimes at a buck a piece. Must’ve known what we were after! Sounded good to me so I took him up on it! Lol. Never had anyone try to sell me something (other than maybe drugs) while detecting, but he had the right goods and came to the right guy.
On to the site from there. We started popping some wheats and near the end of the day I scored a nickel spill with a 43-D war nickel and 52 Jefferson.
All in all an awesome day. I’ll have to let Lucas tell his side of the story and share some of his firsts. We’ll be doing this again.
Here are the close ups:
I know some of you nerds like to geek out on wheat dates so here are the close up of those. [emoji23] I narrowly edged my previous high in a day by one for a total of 17. Oldest was a 1919.
Also, this 1963 button is a mystery to me. I figure it must be to a local school but I couldn’t find anything. Any thoughts?
Thanks for looking friends. I appreciate the support. Good luck out there all!
