BEEP-two weeks later-DIG SILVER

[Gridwalker306]

We have had next to no rain this summer, only a few millimetres in the last two months. However the last two days have been cool with constant drizzle...finally!

A few weeks ago I was detecting at a friend's farm and was having a tough time digging the hard dirt. This area between the trees was used by wagons, trucks, and tractors for the last 100+ years, the ground was completely undiggable. I located two targets that sounded really good, and deep! I was able to dig only a few inches, basically just scraping the rock hard dirt. I thought if it was a good target I would just scratch the hell out of it. So I marked the spots and planned to wait until we got rain.

I returned tonight knowing the ground would be much softer, and sure enough the first spot I marked produced a nice 1917 silver dime. It was every bit of 8 inches deep. Then I dug some horse tack and some junk. Another spot I marked turned up a 1901 IH cent.

These are the only two coins tonight, but it was pretty fun to have the spots marked and ready. Glad I waited.

Congrats on your finds J. I would have had sleepless nights wondering what the coins were. I really like the designs on Canadian silver.

Nice work, good finds

I am sure since you are Canadian you know that dime has more silver in it than our American dimes or your newer silver Canadian dimes. Very nice find. I enjoy finding older Canadian silver.

I did find an 1890 IH cent there a while back, so I knew if I found silver it could be in the Seated realm. That's really what convinced me to wait for rain.

Yes it was bugging me! Before I went back I messaged the land owner and said "it rained! I just have to know what the signals were that I couldn't dig up due to the hard ground, do you mind?". Her reply was "come and dig! I want to know what it is too!". Sent her a cleaned up picture when I got home, she was happy for me haha

Nice work, good finds

Thank you treb

Yep, 92.5 dimes make for a sweeet signal.

Congrats JC. That's a great story.

Thanks Tom, hopefully that farm has more things to find
