I hit one of my favorite old schools at 10:00AM. It has a sunny yard, and I was cold. The Honey Hole seemed to be cooling down, so I thought I would try someplace else. Glad I did. When I pulled the dirt out of this hole, Shiny Roosevelt was looking back at me.
16 minutes into the hunt, I had a Silver, sure hoped this wasn’t going to be it for the day.
I went by the park for a few minutes, nothing but clad. Soooo.... I headed to the Honey Hole. I want to show you pics, but I’m scared some other pirate will pirate my pirated spot, you know what I mean. The concrete is so old, like Smittyman, that the stones are wearing through.
Here is some junk. I got 7 wheaties, 2 Dominican Republic buttons, transit token & lapel pin.
When this popped out, it didn’t quit look right, a closer inspection revealed a Merc.
This one sounded perfect, however, I was still surprised when a silver quarter flipped out of the hole.
I regret to report that I didn’t get pics of this one in the dirt. I freaked out and grabbed it because I didn’t recognize it. I saw the stars around the rim. I couldn’t help but wipe it off.
O mint mark 1905 Barber half. I saw several people go over this area, and nobody hit it. It was a really good signal, about 4” deep.
Here are the 4 silver coins I found today.
This was the 8th hunt in 12 days, the Honey Hole has yielded 24 silver coins for me including 2 half dollars. Tnetters, P@tch, Mangum and Smityman have also gotten silver coins there. This is the first time in my 4 years of detecting that I have experienced something like this, and I like it. I’m quite blessed.
I could get used to my hand looking like this.
YTD silver coins: 85
Thanks for looking and good luck on your hunt!
