Hello Fellow MD'ers...

After all the rain and flooding this week I got out today to wet grounds to start the day... it was high 50's low 60's... with the sun shinning, blue skies and no wind... Nice nice day for detecting...

I hit a new location and the clad and wheaties were flowing right away... 10 minutes in I got a loud quarter on the surface signal... but it ended up being sterling...

wasn't much further into the hunt when I got a nice solid quarter signal @ 6" range... and ground under the grass is mud! It stucking to everything... I was wet from my knees to my toes... but the warm sun felt good... out it popped!

1939 Washington... This one saw a few years of circulation...

I got to a dryer corner and popped the plug in a nice 12/45 signal...

I like it when you flip out the plug and you can see shiny :-)

1943 Mercury Dime...

Next came the 1947 Roosie...

I had a 12/45 signal @ 3" and I really was expecting a shallow memorial... but I flipped out the plug and got the probe in the hole and the target was deeper... so I took out some dirt and I could see a silver rim... it it was larger that a dime... and I knew immediately then that there was more than one target in the hold... I got out the quarter and the probe was still sounding off :-)

1944 Washington (No 'D' :-( ) and a very work 1917 Mercury...

SIlver #40 for 2010 = 1959 Roosevelt!

That's what I would call the silver lining, to much rain and wind to hunt here today, maybe i can squeeze in a short hunt tomorrow before i start my new job on Monday!!!!

You're off to a great start this year!

Paul,
Nice finds. BTW, is it just me or is the date doubled on the '62 Rosie? Perhaps it's the picture but it looks doubled to me. Any coin experts?
