Didn't go where I wanted,but it paid off anyway

I had planned on going to a friends house in Sebring,Fl. today.Long story short,I ended up searching the yard of a stranger(friend of friend in Sebring) in Clewiston.I ended up finding 5q's,15d's,7n's and 7p's in clad.I also found 2 silver dimes('64 and '48) and 2 war nickels('43 and '44).I found an old toy car in the corner of one of the outbuildings,i'm gonna post it in the "what is it?"board,along with the rock pendant that I also found it has some sort of symbol on it.My friend Brian did pretty good himself with a '64 q. a '63 dime and several wheaties.This place was probably better than the 1st.place we were gonna detect although I still plan on going there and back here as well.This is the best place i've hunted in a long time.I am excited as I can be with the aspect of going back there.I know we've only scratched the surface,there's bound to be more silver there.The owner told us they used to shoot craps (dice) behind the barn years ago,that's where we found the silver.Good luck to all and H.H.-diggummup

Re: Didn't go where I wanted,but it paid off anyway

Thanks for the nice comments everyone.I'm itching to go back.I gotta lie :o (I mean try) :D to get off work again this weekend.Very busy time of year for us.My CPU fan is acting up,so I might be offline for a day or two.It's working right now but it wasn't earlier,computer was getting hot so I shut it off to cool down.I'll keep you guys and gals posted.Oh yeah,That car is cool as he!!.I didn't even have to dig for it.It was under a small pile of sandy dirt with some half disintegrated leaves that hadn't been disturbed for quite a while I guess.All I had to do was kick the pile in the corner around a little bit and they're it was.The shed they were in is pretty delapidated and run down,so it's not like anyone uses it for anything anymore.The guy has a few acres so there's plenty more to hunt.Peace-diggummup
