Detected for about 1.5 hours but it was dark for the last half hour. Happy I found some silver though. Can't wait for more favorable tides so I can get back to the beach.

And the best news is both dimes filled a spot in my collection. Was very surprised I didn't already have the 1959-D.

I have been doing the same thing. I have only had 1 duplicate Merc out of 15 or so. Very surprising. Get those albums filled up. Nice 23. I assume no mintmark? I'll bet you would have been showing that if there was.

Yes, no mint mark on the 23

Great Hunt I'll bet there's more silver hiding there someplace.....

CHEERS

Congrats on the finds, any time you find more than one silver coin during a hunt it's definitely a successful hunt, especially when you find them in only an hour and a half.

I'll bet there are many more silver in that park, schlepprock. Try gridding, and overlapping your sweeps at least 50%. The slower you go, the more likely you are to find most metal objects. And after you sweep it one direction, say north-south, then turn 90 degrees and go over the same area east-west. I think you may be surprised at just how many coins you missed in the first gridding.

This is the reason there is no such thing as a worked-out park.
