Heard The Beep First! Looked Down and There it Was! Laying Right On Top!!

[Cool Hand Fluke]

Back to San Francisco and hunted three different locations. Dug up a silver dime and three wheaties in the "Big Park" in S.F. Then I headed over to a very small patch of grass adjacent to S.F. playground. While there, a bunch of Chinese people followed me around fascinated at what I was doing. You should have heard the "oo's and ah's" they gave after seeing me dig up a sterling silver ring! The end of the day I went back to the median strip for about 4 hours worth of hunting. While swinging my coil through the gopher mounds and weeds I here a signal in my headphones, look down and see a silver dime laying right on top of a gopher mound! So I have a OK day with 2 silver dimes, a silver ring, and 15 wheaties!

Gopher probably coughed up and spit it out.. LOL

I found an IH one time like that, only it was a mole that did the digging for me.

Nice Hunt! Congrats!

Great documentation and story! I check the gopher mounds too...no luck yet but it's just a matter of time.

Did you check that dime real carefully? there may be very tiny tooth marks?
