I met Ron downtown yesterday & today to do some detecting. The rain mostly stayed away ~ but we got a little wet. Here's what I dug over the last two days:

1943-S Walking Liberty Half dollar

1945-S War nickel

Washington State Sales Tax Token

12 Wheats ~ '29-S, two 42-S, 45-S, 46-S, two 47-S, 48-S, 52-S, 54-S, 57-D, and one too corroded to see the date.

17 clad quarters

29 clad dimes

14 nickels

114 memorial cents

1963 & 1964 Canadian one cents

Small Silver ring

4 keys and lot's of junk!

Not so much load ~ just a nice sounding target ~ I've got a Whites XLT ~ the VDI number bounced from +90 to +91 ~ it was about 6 inches deep ~ I was hoping for a Barber quarter! But I'll take the Walker, no problem!

I should have taken before & after photo's of the Half. It wasn't so shiny when I dug it. I did the baking soda & water finger scrub. I wouldn't do it to any key date silver coins ~ but it's fine on common date silver.

I bought my XLT used in 1999. I bought a DFX as soon as they came out ~ I think something may have been wronmg with the DFX I bought because it didn't seem to work nearly as well as my XLT so I sold it and kept the XLT. My XLT keeps finding the treasures for me so I'm gonna stick with it!

My XLT leaves little doubt when a Walker passes beneath the coil! Nice finds!

Yeah, this was my last silver coin dug in 2007! I was downtown detecting with my buddy Ron and we both found several wheat cents in a strip of grass ~ Ron moved on to the next section and I stayed there because of all the targets. Mostly junk, but I dug like ten wheats ~ I figured there had to be a silver dime in there. I took a few sweeps under a bush and got a nice big signal ~ I dug down about six inches and there was the 1943-S Walking Liberty Half dollar! WOOHOO!! I didn't find a silver dime in there, but I did get a few more wheats and a 1945-S War nickel.
