Hello everyone. I was fortunate enough to have a beautiful day out detecting! 70 degrees and sunshine! Decided to hit the woods for a day of digging. Targets were scattered and woods were thick. Walked aimlessly through the woods and walked up onto a ridge that dropped into
a gully. It could have been an old road bed many years ago. It had that look to it. Right at the edge of the gully I had a good signal. I dug it and it was a Three ringer..I love that feeling. Took 3 steps and another signal. Same outcome 3 ringer!!! Started scanning where I thought the path or road could have led and got another! 3 in same area. Looks like I found another good spot. I marked it on GPS and now I have another spot to check out next time. Dug a few more high conductive targets and found a small cuff button that is ROACHED! Wish I could ID it, but I am afraid it is to far gone. At least I saved it!

I decided to leave the woods and go look in the clearing for a few coins. Well I didn't get far and got a nickel signal in the ATPro. Dug it and out came a badly corroded V Nickel. I rescanned the hole and WAM..91-92 on the ATPro.. I said to my self..No Way!!! Well it was a sweet Mercury dime. Happy Dance...Pulled it out and stuck probe back in the hole l!!! Friends! Another Merc came out. I was excited. Ended up being a quarter coin spill. It was a great day for me. I ended up with 3 Silvers for the day. I dug a Silver War Nickel before I walked back to the Jeep. I wish every hunt was like this! Thanks for looking guys! image-1614379146.webp image-2001924131.webp image-2445568221.webp

Nice silver! Congrats on finding a new spots, you didn't post pics of your happy dance!
 
Msbeepbeep I didn't get a picture of that, but you can best believe I was doing it!
 
WTG David. I'd rather dig the bullets than the coins-LOL. HH, Q.

I'd like to dig either. :laughing7:
Great job on the CW lead and nice silver.
Great hunt,

Me Too Q! . Glad I did switch it up a bit. What made it fun was I know that I and others walked over this same spot a hundred times before I took a chance and dug the signal.

Either way I am happy to dig them. I had a blast that day. Thanks ModernMiner!
