Thur back to the same spot for about 2 hours. All the indians were 8 to 10" 1880, 1890 X2, 1904 and a 1901 O barber dime. I was excited for a while as I couldn't remember which mint was the good one O or S.
Maybe next time.

awesome coins!!! Nice job on the silver and the indian head pennies! :)
 
Chicago Ron,

Great hunts! Any one of those coins would make my day. If I'm not mistaken, you were the one at the park last year who dug the sweet three-quarter spill (two Barbers and a SLQ), I was there with TF and Goio. Nice job!

my local parks, your lucky if you find a wheaty.
you have a nice little hot spot there,
great finds, and congrats to you for finding them. :thumbsup:
 
Thanks all for the great comments and congrats. This is a well hunted park. Most of the area is heavy iron, nail infested. I dig only 6" or deeper targets and the 10+ signals are about 40% nails. But when the other 60 % are early wheats and indians its worth the effort. I did go back today for 3 hours got a 1942 merc, 4 indians 1899X2 1901 and 1908. and about 15 wheats including 1909 1911 1913.
Again thanks for all the support.

Anyone wanting to keep up with my finds can check my website http://chicagoron.com
I usually update as i get out to hunt 2 or 3 times a week.
 
So what were you using the MXT or the Minelab? Inquisitive minds want to know.
 
Minelab SE with the new pro coil!
 
Ron, wonderful hunts!! You're really a killer on silver lately :icon_pirat:
That Canadian 5-center is a neat find.
