A Yuuuuuuge Silver Anchor....

[tabman]

....To A Piss-Ant

I got a early start today to beat the heat. My first stop was a church that I've hunted several times before. I wanted to see if my Racer 2 could unearth some more treasures that my other detectors had missed. Nothing much was left so I headed to my first permission, a small front yard of a 1953 home. No silver coins there but I did manage to find a silver anchor with the Racer 2.

A curious neighbor came out all in a huff to check me out. She wanted to know what I was doing and if I had permission to be in her neighbor's yard. Long story short, I'm lined up to detect her yard now.

On my way to my second permission I past a large corner lot that I've detected before and remembered that the owner said that her 9 year old great grandson was going spend the weekend with her and he was interested in metal detecting.

I knocked on the door to see if he was there. He was thrilled to follow me around and watch me recover targets. I switched over to the F75DST because the grass was pretty deep and the only search coil that I had for the Racer 2 was the small NEL Snake search coil.

All I was finding was clad coins and wheat pennies which I gave to the kid. Come to find out the house next door was his grandfather's home which we easily got permission to detect. I found a bunch of wheat pennies and clad coins before I finally got the search coil over a 1943 Mercury Dime. Hot and wore out, I decided to call it a day and head for home.

This was my 75th hunt for the year and my silver coin total for the year now stands at 206.

Thanks! I'll be extremely lucky to get 300 silver for the year. This Summer heat sucks!

Surprised you didn't miss the anchor!

I thought is was going to be a deep dime with the audio response that I got, but it turned out to be the tiny anchor at around 2 to 3 inches deep.

Thanks! I was happy to find the anchor.

Thanks! People don't shoot you for asking for permission to detect their yards.

I still get thrill when I pop one of them, but finding a gold ring, older coin or a big silver coin gets me really excited.

Another great day, congrats on the 2 silvers and spending time with the lad, who went home with a pocket full of clad.

Thanks! For 8 years old that kid was super smart. He had good manners as well. After talking to his great grandmother and his grandfather who lives next door, I know were he got his smarts and manners from.

Congrats on the silver anchor and merc

Thanks! I had good time.
