Got together with Terry from the Club on Friday morning (Oct 5th) to hunt a spot in a city park that he tried and had some luck.

We had a friendly wager going that had a dollar going to the digger with the first relic, silver, Indian or button. Looked like Terry was going to get the dollar as he dug a button; it looked modern but did have the seal of England on the front. That was his "moment of glory" that morning.

We toiled over the earth for a couple hours and in that time I dug two Buffs, one with a date.

Eventually our paths crossed and I mentioned that I'd like to test the ground between the macadam walkway and the stream, so we headed that way.
Within 5 minutes I dug a high tone to find silver!

Before leaving the site I also dug a horse tack rivet IMG_6830.webp

and a cast lead lighting standard to a train set IMG_6829.webp

We headed back to the trucks for a wrap-up and some time for sharing stories. Terry made good and on his wager and sent a George Washington my way before he headed out.

Good times.

Nice going Mike!!! Nice finds :) We both found barbers this weekend, Yea Haw!!
 

That had to be a fun dig when it included a Barber dime.
 

Congrats, Ken! That's crazy.
 

Thanks thrifty76now! Yes, it was, and the shocker was not recognizing the pattern at first but knowing it must be pre-Merc!
