Cowboys and Indians Guarding the silver While the barber shaves the cow!!!

[outraged]

Well we headed out to Washington park today...We only got 3 hours of hunting in before the silly rain started...sigh.....Nickel_buff1935 started the day off right with a massive silver mans ring.....We continued to move across the property until we found a area (not very big) where we could swing through the penny signals and trash....This area is LOADED with metal....I can not wait until my new 3X6" DD gets here!!! I bet it will help out alot. My first real signal came about 30 minutes into the hunt. In fact it is the first signal i dug! A nice 1908 Barber dime! It was cool because i made Nickel_buff swing his Minelab Xterra 50 over the signal and he did not even get a hit. It was a very faint signal next to 2 pulltabs. I extracted the pulltabs to help pinpoint the target....And at 7.5 inches down out pops this nice silver dime....Nickel and I just looked at it laying in the bottom of the hole for around 20 seconds before i dove on it!!!
As the time went on i continued pulling silver from this area....Nickel also dug a 1983 quarter then after rechecking his hole pulled the 1947 Washington. The V nickel was my 10 YO's Eyeball find from a week or 2 ago. All in all we did decent for 3 hours....I wish we could have been there all day...GRRR @ YOU RAIN!!! The cowboy i am unsure as to the age...Same goes for the Badge...But you will see i Dinged the badge nicely...sigh....
If anyone has any info on this watch fob please let me know...It is dated 1870 and the one word i can see is commemorative. Nickel found this cool little cow also....I love this thing!



I am sorry in advance for all the pics...I know it will take a bit to load. I just got this camera and i am learning it.

Looks like that barber dime may have been in a shotgun roll at one time (may have caused the circle mark in the middle). Nice finds!

Wow, nice haul. All that from Washington Park? Dang, I feel a road trip coming.

What detector you using there? Nate's DFX had trouble in that park picking up the deep silver.

I am using a Spectrum XLT. I would try the shadow there but there is WAY too much trash. I would say there is 100000 pennies per square yard. We also dug over 70 clad each....I just did not show that.

A shotgun roll is a shotgun shell that someone has emptied out, and filled with coins as a stash. When full, they would re-crimp the roll to make it look like any other shotgun shell. When they re-crimped them, the primer (little cap thing on in the center of the brass part) would leave a circle indentation on the first coin......which is what yours looks like.
