Friday and Saturday's finds ~ 5 silver dimes and 42 wheat cents!

Hello!

WOW ~ the weather the last few days has been so AWESOME!

On Friday I took one of my famous extended lunch breaks and headed downtown to do some detectiing. I ended up with a 1948-S Rosie dime, 1964-D Rosie dime, and 20 wheat cents dating from 1910 to 1953 (too bad the 1910 was a Philly mint ~ I was hoping is was a "S" mint!).

Then on Saturday, Ron and I took a road trip not only to hunt, but to also scout out some potential sites for future club outings. Today I ended up with a 1943-S Merc dime, 1945-S Merc dime, 1956-D Rosie dime, 1957 Canadian Cent, and 22 wheat cents dating from 1917 to 1958.

Now my silver coin count is up to 30 for the year!

Thanks for looking!
Neil

You are killing the silver! Wow!

Now I (and maybe some others) want some help.

Do you dig all targets or just silver tones?

Other than the obvious (finding a park that is 46+ years old) how do you go about picking a spot? I don't need specific locations (they are yours and I am too far away) although if I lived closer I would probably be stalking you (joke).

Do you focus on picnic grounds, fair sites, railroad depots?

Are you finding these leads online, at the library, historical society, or from old timers?

I know I'm being pushy, but man you are making my eyes pop every time you post.

Again, incredible silver scores.

Thanks, Fathead

Terrific silver finds, but you are killing me with the awesome weather exclamation. We are due for more snow today here in Chicagoland...and freezing temps. Tried to get out yesterday, thinking wood chips would surely not be frozen...wrong...solid block of ice from 1.5" down. Those are some excellent looking Mercs. Keep up the good work and best wishes for more good stuff.

The weather has been excellent for hunting the last
3 or 4 days and glad you could get out. Congratulations
on all the silver finds over the past couple of days. Did
you find any new territory for the club hunts?

Thanks man ~ I'll try to answer all your questions!

I dig just about any target that makes my detector say 'beep'!

Lately I've been trying to get permission to detect around older houses (private property). And a lot of times these older houses are in neighborhoods that have plenty of easements (that grassy strip in between the curb and sidewalk) up and down the streets. These areas hold a lot of stuff in 'em! In most towns the easement is city property, but the home owner maintains it. Some people don't like us detecting in 'their' easement, but most of the time people don't care. Heck, sometimes we get people that invite us to detect their lawn because they want to see what we find!

Thanks dude!

We checked out a good sized park, but after about 20 minutes of hunting I could tell it was well hunted. I dug only one clad dime and a rusty nail. I don't think it would be a good place for one of our club outings.

Hey Neil!!

I'm back online now, but still can't detect yet.
You've been doing so well this year.....30 silver for the year already? And look at all those wheats you dug in two hunts! I knew once you got your hands on an Explorer, it was just a matter of time spent out in the field with it before your old finds would skyrocket.

Keep going on those extended lunch breaks(20 wheats on a lunch break is a lot of digging)! They're really paying off!
You're going to have a monumental year bud!

Congrats,
