Seated & Foreign Silver + more!
Hi to all.. well I havent been detectin much for last couple months
with flood duty in Iowa,and also Hurricane Gustav more recently detecting time has been limited.
Today however has paid off for me. It started with visiting my youngest daughter while the preschool was visiting a playground. While swinging her I noticed the street had been torn out along with part of a drive and sidewalk.
After we left you can imagine what I went home to get
I also grabbed my boots because it was going to be a muddy one!
The excitement was building because the street was adjacent to a old school building. I started along the sidewalk area. The first couple targets were junk. The third however sounded pretty sweet on the GSII.
I cut a muddy plug the best I could and saw silver in the hole" how awesome" I was expecting a barber
but was
to see a 1877 seated dime. I continued on only two sweeps and heard a decent signal,dug down and out popped a shield nickel. Now I was pretty pumped! Later I found some other targets including a old bent ring,the newer jewelry piece, the button also.
As i continued into the street I wasn't getting any good signals,not sure why but I know they dug down to the pipes,and I could see them and hear them in my earphones
As a last thought I hit the side street area running the coil up and down the sides. I heard a small signal in the muddy bank. 8) I dug into the side and let the earth fall to ground level.After diggin I couldnt find anything,but finally saw a glint of silver,
small silver smaller than a dime at first I thought it was spanish.
but I saw 1942 LOL. Later I found a chewed up aluminum token in one of the piles. This was about it since it was getting late.
What a day though.... here are some pictures.
