Hunted several new spots Sat. with Dave and my new friend Pete who is Dave's kinfolk. Real nice fellow that is new to the hobby and is catching on fast.
I was swinging the 17" CTX Coil, fondly referred to by Dave as my "AWACs" Coil due to it's enormity. PCJoe got me hooked on using it and it paid off with a deep "V" and a 10"-12" deep Merc. I know that's hard to believe, but Dave assisted in the dig from the start and was also amazed. It sounded so good that I thought it was about 6" deep, but the depth registered constant at 10-12". The numbers were a bit low at 12-41 to 12-43 but I was pretty sure I had a deep silver.
Had a fun day and these are my finds...
1888 "V" Nickel
1939-d Merc
1915 Good Luck Token
Old Heavy Brass (or copper) Man's Ring with inset stone.
19?? Wheat Penny (still working on it)
This 1888 "V" is a somewhat rare date. It still has a lot of detail in the hair and you can still see a part of the word Liberty on her crown. If I can get it cleaned up, I think it will grade a VG-8 which has a value of about $40. I'm sure it won't bring that amount since cleaning older Nickels is tough.
Good Luck Token
Majestic Ranges
Malleable and Charcoal Iron
Gold Medal Highest Award
San Francisco 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition
also St. Louis, Portland, Seattle, Jamestown, Knoxville, & Omaha.
Thanks for looking.
