The first site that I went to this morning, a mid-fifties home, didn't produce any silver, but it did produce a few wheat pennies and lots of clad coins. After wasting nearly 3 hours at that site and not being able to find one silver coin, I decided to look for greener pastures.
After riding around for awhile I spotted a young man taking some trash to the street, so I pulled over to have a talk with him. Come to find out, it wasn't his house, it was his grandmother's house. I guess he was there to do some work around the house for her. I don't think his elevator went all the way up, but I did manage to get him to give me permission to detect the yard.
Right off, I got my search coil over a 1942 Mercury dime and then there wasn't nothing but a dozen or so wheat pennies. I figured with that many wheat pennies there had be some more silver coins in that yard, so I grid searched it in a different direction.
I ended up finding 2 Rosie dimes and a Washington quarter. I don't know how I missed them on my first grid search because two of them weren't being masked by anything.
I may hit it again to tomorrow because of all the rain we just got made the digging easy. It won't be long before the ground turns to concrete again.
