Hi all,
I had a chance to go out twice since my last post over the weekend, and boy did I clean up! On Monday I went to soccer field #1 that I had visited several weeks ago..I found quarters galore there, so I went back to see what I missed..I came up with $8.74 in clad (20 quarters, 33 dimes, 5 nickels and 19 pennies), a child's sterling ring (#18 this year) that's missing a stone, a .925 silver earring with lots of stones in it, a Webelos neckerchief slide and a lost key.
The earring rang out as a penny if you can believe that..
Then today I visited soccer field #2 where I found 68 quarters in one hunt back on March 16 (it was my record for quarters in one day)! I knew there had to be more, and there was..much more! It was rather muddy, but the quarters kept coming..I managed to pull another 46 quarters out of the ground, along with 4 nickels, 30 dimes and 24 pennies, totalling $14.94 and giving me a 114-quarter total for that field in 2 hunts!! I've never found that many at one place in all the years I've been detecting.
I realized later that if I had found 6 more quarters, I would have found 3 rolls of them just at that one place. Most of them were found on the sidelines, where more than likely people sat to watch the games.
My quarter total so far this yearis 532 and I just passed the 2,500 coin mark.
Thanks for viewing and happy hunting!
