Double Silver Day

[OWK]

First time out in awhile. (Work's been crazy, trying to figure out a particular problem with a power-tool design).

Anyhow... got a chance to hit a nice local elementary school (built in 1964) that has a peculiar zone in the area of the baseball fields. Almost like there's a 50ft wide band of older than average coins. Old Aerial photos show a bald spot in the woods where the older stuff is. Maybe it was where the local kids played before the school was built.

Today's haul for a 2 and a half hour hunt, was 6 clad Quarters, 7 clad dimes, 11 Memorials, 3 Wheaties, and 2 Big-Fat-Silver Washington Quarters. (1950 and 1953). The quarters were pretty close to one another, and pretty deep. (6 or 7 inches).

Important detector lesson learned today. I get just about an inch and 1/2 less depth out of the F70 when I run it quiet as when I run it chatty. Quiet makes for a more enjoyable hunt, and I really didn't feel like I was missing anything today. Maybe I'll save chatty configurations for deep woods hunting.

Sounds like a pretty good day to me.

I thought it was a good day.

I know this school has been well hunted. But it's a big couple of fields, and there's never a shortage of targets.

I was digging almost continually, and really I was just cherry-picking.

Well, hello there! I thought you'd dropped of the map! LOL

Looks like an excellent hunt in my book!

Glad you were able to get out and to share with us again!

Good saves!

Things are lightening up a bit for me if you would like to try a weekend day sometime soon.

Just say when.

Great day! Congrats on the silvers.

Thanks OD.

I like the fast action of park hunting pretty well, but I'm more of a cellar hole guy by nature.

I need to get back in the woods soon.

I was pretty shocked when I saw that second one.

The coins are too old for the school I think.

Nice.
That hunts twice as good as most.

I think it's pretty tough to find two silver quarters in one hunt these days ! Good day out for sure !

 

[treblehunter]

Sweet quarters, love that silver.

Nice silvers.
