1943-S Merc dime ~ 1907 Indian Head Cent ~ six wheat cents ~ lots of clad

[oddcoins]

I took today off of work to go detecting! Kippero (my brother-in-law Kip) is in town from Eastern Idaho visiting for the Holidays ~ we met RONC(OR) downtown at the place where Ron found a 1892 Barber Quarter yesterday. Kip didn't bring his XLT with him, but lucky for us Ron's got lots of detectors to borrow. Kip got to use Ron's Minelab Sov. Here's what I found:

1907 Indian Head Cent
1943-S Mercury Dime
six wheats ~ 42-D, 44-S, 45-S, 46-S, 47-S, & 48-S
54 Memorial cents
10 nickels
23 clad dimes
12 clad quarters
set of keys
silver ring that broke

Nice finds!! I bet you were hoping for a barber too like your friend got.

Injuns are great finds. They put a big smile on my face whenever I dig one down here in S. CA. And I got 2 today...

YES ~ my goal for 2007 was to dig up a Barber Quarter! No success! I dug two Barber Halves and two ten dollar gold coins though ~ so I can't complain!

Ron moved to this area a couple years ago from Spokane WA. He's dug three Barber quarters since moving here. I've been detecting this area for 14 years and have yet to find one! Weird!

Nice. Going tonight for the last hunt of 07. I am hoping for something good, maybe another IH or silver? Another Merc would be super!!!!

Got home today 18inches of snow in the driveway spent all morning moving it. I would much rather be in oregon learning how to use a different detecter and pulling clad out of the mud huh life is not fair. kip

I wish you didn't have to go back! We need to win the lottery so we can quit our jobs and go detecting EVERYDAY! WOOHOO!!

Ron and I went back down there today. Ron dug three or four wheats cents, but I didn't dig anything old. I dug a lot of six inch deep clad dimes though! I was hoping for a silver one. We had a young security gaurd come up and tell us that we needed to leave ~ but luckily another gaurd came by and told him we were OK ~ so we detected until the rain ran us off.

Take care~ Happy new year!
