Finally on the Board in April

[washingtonian]

Hey all!

I've gotten out on a handful of hunts this month but just hadn't gotten the coil over silver, until today.

I did some door knocking around the neighborhood last night and got a couple new sidewalk strip permissions. Got done early with work today so I hit one up.

It was slow going but I eventually started turning up a few Wheats. Near the start of my second pass of the strips I got a banging signal at around 3-4 inches. I didn't think much of it after digging so much clad so I was pleasantly surprised to see a silver rim in the hole!

Here are the finds:


The tally:
-1 Merc (41)
-6 Wheats (19S x2, 27S, 35S, 36S, 55D)
-1 KGVI Canadian Penny (40)
-1 Anchor Button

Anyone know what that anchor button(?) could be?

I've got a couple good days of hunting lined up, hoping to pull in some more silver this weekend.

Good luck out there!

Nice job on the merc and wheats.
Its awesome you get so many "s" mints.
But your close to SF so I get it.
Pretty scarce around here.
That is an interesting button to say the least.
