Day 2 of vacation ~ 1944 25c ~ 1936 Merc ~ 1946 Rosie!!

[oddcoins]

Hi again!

Well, today is day two of my vacation time and I started the day off great! I went back to the place where I dug the 1935-S silver 25c & 10c yesterday ~ those two targets were the last two targets that I dug yesterday. Today I get there and dig a memorial cent first ~ then the second target was a 1944-S Washington Quarter! And then my 3rd dig was a 1946-D Rosie Dime! SO, in the last five digs I dug four silver coins! WOOHOO!!!

After a few more minutes I walked a couple blocks down the street to Minnie Washburne Memorial Park. Yesterday there was no less than 150 people there playing and sunbathing ~ I figured I could find some gold or silver jewelry! After digging several deep pull tabs I dug a 1936-S Mercury dime at no less than 7 inches deep! It actually didn't come in that great on my XLT ~ I was expecting just another deep pull tab!

I did manage to find a couple small silver earrings and a small silver ring that was cut ~ but no gold. It was before noon and I had dug three silver coins and three silver jewelry items ~ I figured it was a successful day, so I headed home. I'm sure there will be more there to find next time! Here's what all I dug today:

1944-S Silver 25c
1936-S Silver dime
1946-D Silver dime
1940-S Wheat cent
5 clad quarters
3 clad dime
9 modern nickels
14 memorial cents
2 silver earings (one marked "STER.")
1 silver ring (cut)

These silver coins are #25, #26, & #27 for the year. I took pic's of them before and after I cleaned 'em up!

This is the best Silver to Wheat ratio that I've ever dug ~ three silvers and only one Wheat! I've got 10 silver coins and 77 wheat cents for the month.

Thanks for looking!

Great finds! Only metal detectors would call a digging on their hands and knees "vacation time", enjoy.

Neil,

Great job! You've dug almost as many silver coins in the past two days as I have all year!

You don't need a new detector. You play that XLT like a violin.

All the best,

Mike

LOL ~ yeah, you're correct! I've got a desk job ~ I physically work harder on the weekends and on my vacations than what I do when I'm "on-the-clock"!

Neil,

You keep on pulling out the good coins, over and over again. As far as I'm concerned, that means you know what you're doing. Hope you keep up the silver average for the rest of your vacation. What would it be? 21?
