Here's my finds for today and yesterday. All found within a 40ft radius in a local park across the street from an old store. The park has been their at least for 70 years if not longer. All the wheats and mercs were found in a baseball field and the Roosevelt's were along the fence bordering it. Finally after a year of detecting I finally found something substantial. My only old silver previous to this was a 1943 nickel at an old school.

First one found after a string of wheats leading up to it.

Here they are, 11 wheaties the oldest being 1918. 4 Roosevelt's a 52, 61, 63 and 64. 2 Mercuries 43 and 45. And finally 2 Washington state sales tax tokens from the 30's most likely.

Yeah for sure. I'm going to grid walk it till it's all gone. The metal fence there creates all sorts of interference so it's a little tricky. One of those dimes was directly under it.
