I couldn't get Jeff of PA off the couch today so I spent three hours alone at a ballfield that has given up silver in the past. I had 7 wheat cents today but could only get dates on three of them, 1922, 1924 and 1940. The other four were toasted.
I did get lucky enough to hit three silver dimes today so my day was great!!! The Mercs are 1935 and 1942 and the Rosie is 1948, all were dug in the 6" deep range. I was hunting with the F75 LTD running BP, 4 disc and 80 sensitivity and these dimes screamed at me!!

Thanks for lookin'!

Happy Hunting all!

Dave

Finding silver is so cool and I do love seeing the pictures! Speaking of the pictures, the coins looks very scratched, how did you clean them? or, were they already like that?

Thanks guys!

Roland, the coins were cleaned with water and a toothbrush so all the scratches you see are part of the original "beauty" of the coin....LOL!
I assume based on wear these coins were carried for many years before being dropped at this location so scratching is unavoidable. Until I dig a real "rare" coin I won't even notice the condition because they all get slabbed and booked right now, I'm building a "silver" book to pass down to my granddaughter....LOL!

yep I put the priz IV with iron discrimination and wait for those little screamers this year .funny that all have come from six inch + reads . Total of 36 Al but ten have been mercs . I get the same signiture when I pass over one .Sounds like you learned the same thing i did this year .Went from 9 total silvers last year to current count of 36 this year best is a 1903 barber quarter . Way to go .
