Another silver with the Safari

[Ray in CA]

We have had three gorgeous sunny days of Spring here in SW Washington and very little time for me to detect. But today I headed out to the store and decided to stop by an old park for about 45 minutes. It seems my shorter hunts have been my most productive lately.

My very first signal registered +38/+39 on my Safari in relic mode, down about 5", and out comes a lovely '61 Rosie! My third silver dime on the Safari.

Then a number of clad quarters and dimes, followed by an aluminum good luck token. On the reverse I think it says:

"I LOVE KAYE DYKE DO__S SHE LOVE M"

It was folded in half when I found it and very corroded in spots, but I'll try soaking it in lemon juice to see if I can get any more detail.

I also found a wheatie, but the date is hardly readable. But looks to be in the '40s.

The last find is what may be a 14k plated earring. There is a stamp on the back but it is so worn I can't read it. This item was laying on top of the ground, with just a tad of dirt covering the sides.

Lastly, on Saturday the wife and I went to the tulip fields in Mossyrock hoping that they would all be in full bloom. We were disappointed to find very few blooming.

HH,

Ray

I found one of those "good luck" tokens. Looks exactally like that one but with different names. Mine was folded in half too when I found it. Nice finds.

Hey great finds there! It has been just perfect weather...I think that is why we live here! I found one of those same tokens last year! I love tokens and I know you found a really nice one not long ago.

Thanks for the comments, folks! I guess my Safari is starting to show an affinity for silver dimes, and I'm liking it. Now, the question is where to find the big silver? ...hmm.

That's cool that some of you have found similar tokens. I guess this was one of those kind that a person could have made with a custom message. I agree with plehbah that this one sounds rather heart-breaking.

Congratulations on the silver rosie Ray.
The more you hunt with the new safari, the more
comfortable you will get and more silver will follow.
