well its been about a week or two since i have been out, we have been having some really hot weather, almost unbearable to detect in. but i was bored today and had to get out of the house despite the 103 degrees out. so i hit up my usual park but tried a different area. the park is fairly old but I don't know the exact date and i usually only find the usual modern clad. about half way into my hunt after finding some weird hunks of metal and some other miscellaneous stuff. i got a nickle reading. I almost said forget it because it was reading 6 inches down I figured it wasn't worth diggin in this hot sun for a nickle. well i dug it anyway and look and behold a 1930 s buffalo nickle. cool first one I ever found. So now I figure if theres coins that old around here there must be more. so i started to only dig stuff that was 5 inches or more. i was heading back to my truck and was over a dirt patch in the grass and got a good signal at 4 inches. dug it and finally my first silver and an oldie. a 1914 D barber dime. I'm stoked i don't think its high in value but just the fact I got my first silver makes me happy.

thanks. For me it's my best find so far I'm still looking for some good areas around town to go. I'm still looking for a carson city minted coin. thats where I live so there has to be some hiding in the ground some where.
