Hi all,
Between being busy, surgery and health issues, and a lot of my good spots drying out on me, it's been a slow year. But I finally hit silver #25 today. I found 2 wheats, then a buffalo, then a 1942 Merc, and finally a 1907 IH all near an area that produced a lot for me last year, but has gotten super thin. Someone else had been hunting there and had left uncovered holes. I actually ran into a strange dude detecting there a couple of months ago. He was not a treasure net person. I'm not casting stones, but I wonder. Anyway, my day concluded with a little talisman guy. rang up like a nickel. It was originally part of a ring, I think.
I only spent 5 minutes cleaning the IH, so its not super (I hate cleaning copper coins), but I did do my toothpick thing on it if GTL is looking. Had I spent longer, say 50 minutes, it'd be pristine. The reverse looked mush like the reverse of your Austrian coin prior to my going to work on it.
