Saturday and sunday were two great days of detecting with my buddies.

Saturday I met up with DiggerDan for some farm house door knocking. House number one gave up a merc on the first hole I dug, nothing else but clad thereafter. House 2 gave up a few wheats and clad. House 3 gave up the 1888 indian and one more merc. Not a bad day, but Dan had enough and dropped me off at my car, which is right beside an old ballfield I have hit pretty hard this year. I told Dan "I have a feeling there is something for me in that ballfield today, I am gonna detect it for 1/2 an hour before I call it quits"

So I crank up the manual sensitivity to 29 and off I go, I get an absolute screaming 03-47 and I am thinking this is a half dollar! I cut a nice deep plug, flip it back and there laid a walking liberty half in the bottom of the hole! made the day a LOT better.

Sunday Mr. Stuff came up to do some door knocking and it was a GREAT 10 silver day!

house 1: 1890 seated dime, 1916 buffalo, 2 wheats
house 2: 3 silver rosies, 4 mercs, sterling ring, 3 wheats
house 3: 2 indians, SLQ quarter

10 silver and ONLY 5 wheats! I was SO CLOSE to a dime grand slam, couldn't find a barber to save my life!!!!! Getting the seated was the HARD part, uughhhhh I wanted that grand slam so bad! I had to settle for a trifecta! :laughing9:

Mr. Stuff dug 8 or 9 silver himself, he got 7 silver in the same yard I did, that was a 14 silver yard!

Nice! Type I or II on the SLQ? How about a reverse pic?
type 2, with a huge bend in it.....looks like it got into a fight with a lawnmower, it was only 2 inches deep
I had to put it into a vise to get it half way straight for a pic!

Great weekend and great post. I often wonder if I go to the extreme with this hobby by spending all my spare time doing it and I think to myself "hey, if I'm not finding anything it would be a different story" it's just good to know that there are others out there like me. Keep it up and good luck on that next great find!!!
