What could have been an all day affair waiting for the plumbers to make repairs turned into a simple fix and that allowed me to revisit The Mountain" yesterday. I was packed up and on the road by 10 a.m. Although the weather is getting a little nippy, especially north of the city, I managed to get to the area I wanted to hunt in about an hour and 15 minutes. The coil was swinging and the first coin was dug around 11:30 a.m.
I hit an area that I believe I have pounded pretty good over the past year. There had been a few rainstorms around The Mountain area in the previous week. I guess I was hoping the saturated soil would wake up a few silver signals but it was not meant to be. It did appear to wake up a few Nickel signals though. It never ceases to amaze me. As was previously mentioned, "I Pounded This Area Pretty Good Earlier This Year," and yet I ended up asking that question,, How did I miss that?
This hunt was all about low tone signals. One target on the E-Trac registered 12-26. That can be a gold ring. It turned out to be a genuine Brass Lady's ring. It was joined about an hour later by a Genuine Brass men's ring. Most of the LOW TONE signals that I ended up digging were Nickels. I recovered a total of15. That number included 3 Liberty Head and a Buffalo. The obverse side of the Buffalo is Toast as well as the V-Nickels although I was able to get the dates off 2 of the 3 that I recovered. I also dug 10 wheat pennies and 2 of them were toasted to the point where seeing the dates was impossible.
So all in all, what could have been a wasted day waiting for the plumbers to fix some pipes in my apartment, turned into a good day on The Mountain.
My finds for the day were: 12q, 29d, 11n, 23 memorials, 10 wheat pennies, ( 25, 39, 41(2), 44, 45, 47, 52d & 2 Toasted), 3 Liberty Head Nickels, (1890, 1902, & 1 Toasted), a Toasted Buffalo Nickel, as well as 2 Canadian Pennies, (72 & 91).
I also recovered a spoon, a Madonna with child medallion, and 2 Genuine Brass Rings.
My Silver Coin Total For 2015 is now 137
