Literally!

I hit an old park in a town where I used to live and have hunted previously with some success, but have not hunted it with my Explorer. Once the frost melted away this morning, the deep, old silver signals were jumping at me. I started with a 1901 Barber and the dimes continued to pop out, including a nice 1854 Seated. The next to last piece of silver was a Rosie, cut in half! Just missed the full slam, but I'll take it.

The silver ring has a nice black stone and some diamond chips in it, but unfortunately it met its demise at the hands of a mower at some point. The little pin is sterling, has the words: Associated Gas & Electric System on it and a date of 1852.

Also found 3 Indians, dated 1887, 1903 & 1908 and a small bunch of wheats. Hunted until my arms basically were falling off- a fun day!

HH all!

Jeff

daz some good stuff.
 
Alot of pretty ladies there. I can't remember if I've ever seen a dime grand slam posted here. I've only been on the site for about three months. I'm sure there were a few that I missed. Great hunt. I would be looking forward to getting back to that site if I were you.
 
Nice mix of recoveries.Too bad the ring got mauled by the lawnmower man.HH...Panz
 
Congratulations on all those old silvers. Please tell us, if you remember, the approximate depths of the dimes and the Indian cents. Thanks.
 
You cleaned house!

I found 2 Mercs in the same hole, about 6-7 inches down- everything else was at least 8 inches and the seated was easily 10 inches down. I use an original Explorer XS - it goes so damn deep. I previously have hunted with Garrett's, Whites and a Fisher CZ6A, which I still have. Just can't seem to beat the depth, and the ability to see a coin and a trash item together.
