Hey folks!
I haven’t been able to detect much the last few weeks. Unfortunately Detecting time is a casualty of busy season at work. I left after Thanksgiving for a week in Minneapolis for work and then spent this week in Atlanta.
I finally got out to a spot I’ve been meaning to return to since October. I thought I might squeak a couple wheats out and maybe a silver dime if I was lucky. I was pleasantly surprised to find a few silver coins!
Here’s the haul:
The tally:
-1920-S Merc
-1945-S War Nickel
-1949-S Rosie
-7 Wheats (oldest is a 29-S)
-1958 Jefferson
Other odds and ends include two older keys, a 1995 Rabies Vaccination tag and a mystery fob.
The Merc is probably the most worn I’ve ever found. It could also be a 1928 or 1929 but based on its wear I’m assuming it’s older like 1920. You can see the 2 and just the top portion of the last number.
I’m glad I found some silver today. Without much time to get out, I wasn’t sure I was going to find silver this month. This marks my 30th consecutive month finding a silver coin. While the Pacific Northwest has its drawbacks (lack of Western history) it is so nice that you can hunt here year-round.
Thanks for looking everyone, happy hunting and enjoy your time with family and friends this month!
