Had an hour to kill this morning so I stopped by the refinery where my son works and hit the old housing area for a few minutes. For some reason the ground was hard as a rock and I really had to work to get down to the good find. My first dig turned out to be a tent grommet at about 4" that came in as a 36, icon showing ring on my Safari. Found it at the base of a big oak tree. This area was used for annual company picnic and tents and shading awnings were set up due to the heat. I went on to dig a couple of clad pennies in an open area and they also showed 36, but a coin icon this time and were about 5" deep. Then I got a 33, icon showing quarter, but wrong VDI? Turned out to be some kind of valve. It had a rubber gasket around the lip but it crumbled whenI was digging it out. Then several pieces of can slaw, one of them at nearly 9" and showing 37, coin icon. Disapointing on this one and really hard to dig and I was expecting big silver. Then under another tree, cotton wood I think, a couple of nickels, 15 coin reading, real shallow. Oh yes and I forgot to mention, on my second signal I got a 37, coin icon at nearly 10" and out came a 1963 silver quarter! Best find of the day! My first silver in a long time. I know there is plenty more silver there if I just get the time to dig it. Felt good to get out again if only for a brief hunt. Monty
