A REVISIT TO FRIDAY'S REVISIT
Yesterday, I returned to the area where I recovered 7 silver dimes on Friday. This lawn was originally hunted with a pre-Etrac machine about 3 years ago. The iron in the 100 X 100 foot area was pretty concentrated. The E-trac helped me find at least 3 of the 7 dimes found on Friday. They were in the ground alongside some iron. I decided to dig as many iron targets as possible. I guess I was hoping to find silver that was being completely masked by a large piece of iron.
I have to say that I suspect that there was a structure on this site at one time. Besides the abundance of Iron, I uncovered some brick and parts of turn of the century glass bottles. However, there was no silver coins to be harvested. After about 5 hours of mining iron, I decided to move on to a few other lawns in the vicinity.
I did manage to recover a sweet Sterling Charm.
My finds for the day were: 7q, 23d, 2n, 34 memorials, and 8 Wheat Pennies, (16, 40, 50, 51(2), 54d, 55, & 56d).
I also recovered 2 dog tags, 2 watch gears, 1 San Francisco key fob, 1 buckle, a push button, a parking meter Violation Flag, 1 Como Se Llama?, and a Sterling Shoe Charm.
