Hello everyone!

Today I met up with Ron & Richard to do some detecting up north ~ this is the third Sunday in a row that we've met up there! The first time Richard dug a big gold ring and a 1902 IHC ~ last weekend I dug five silver coins ~ now today Ron was the "man" with five silver coins and a 1872 French 10c coin!! We are having a blast up there detecting! Here's what I dug today:

1923 Mercury Dime (silver coin #83 for the year!)
1883 Indian Head Cent
N.D. Buffalo nickel
1974 Canadian Dime
Casino Medal
18 Wheat cents (1917 to 1958)
77 Memorial cents
9 nickels
24 clad dimes
14 clad quarters

Thanks for looking!
Neil

Congrats on the merc dime (#83), the 1883 IH and all the other wheats you found. :thumbsup:

Neil,

I haven't had an 18 to 1 ratio in a long time. Last year, it happened all the time.

You still had a great hunt!! Man, you dig a lot of clad.

I hope you can reach #100 by the end of the year!!

Good luck,

Yeah, the ratio seems to go up & down!

The first outing in that area I dug 14 wheats and one War nickel ~ then the 2nd trip there I dug 10 wheats and five silvers (2 to 1 ratio ~ pretty good!) ~ the this last outing I dug 18 wheats and one Merc dime! Oh well ~ it's all good!
