Hello all, I haven't posted in a while since my detector was stolen from my truck 
and I'm just too poor to replace it now. 
I just couldn't resist keeping it in my truck in case I'm driving down the road and spot a sidewalk rip out or some other great limited opportunity spot. I also kept my GPS, caving helmet with light etc in the truck, but now it's all gone. How depressing, but thanks to some great club members loaning me equipment, I had a good hunt or two.
Thanks to Teverly for allowing me the use of his Fisher CZ-6a and Mike dropping it off to me in Washington Court House the other day, I was actually able to make the most of this cool weather and swing a coil. Mark took me back to the ~1860 church where I dug a nice 1901 Barber quarter and two injuns a few weeks ago. This evening we were back in the small little front lawn divided in two by a nice old sidewalk. I was going for all the questionable signals. The first hour or more was square nails and an assortement of other fasteners. Mark was digging his fair share as well. Finally I dug an injun, 1897. Then a 1915 wheat followed by another injun. Suddenly after several passes over the same strip of ground, I got a broken high tone and carefully cut and flipped back the sod. After the sod was back, the detector said "Oh yeah, baby". I flipped up a silver disc and revealed a nice 1900 Barber dime. Later, after a short break and watching Mark persist, I got back out. Same small area, different angle and a high tone....broken. Slow down my sweep speed and hear a high repeat in a small area, low iron tone on two sides. Digging revealed another silver disc and a nail, my second seated this year,an 1883 dime. It's sweet to be back at it. Thanks Mark for the invite.
