I told my wife, that today I was going to find big silver. Nothing like seeing Ben Franklin himself, peeking out of the hole, on the 4th of July!
My first one, check that one off the bucket list!
My hunt this am was at an old homesite, now a neighborhood park. Never did I expect to find two King George Canadian quarters! One is 1918, the other is worn down smooth, gotta be older. I didn't know they were even on my bucket list, so sweet!
Later on, I found a patch of mid tone signals, was gonna pass them up, but they were deep, ssoooo....
I worked that spill for about a half hour, beep after beep, 17 coins, no clue what they were. Turns out, all 1940's Mexican 10 centavos.... Oh well. Mixed in the mess was a Cuban nickel, or whatever, 1946. Soon thereafter, I got a good hit, kinda deep...target was the redline hot wheels, 1967. Also, my first one.
Ha! I found a lighter, it works! You can never have enough lighters.
So I call last target, and I go back to a hit I had earlier. It was reading up as a dime, but there was a big brick, or something on top of it. I decided that I was gonna win this battle, and I pried that stubborn brick out the way. Turns out, it was part of a chewed up walkway....umm..where did the signal go, wtf? It took a minute, but I realized the signal was in the encrusted mass of junk.... Ooh, there it is! I LMFAO, another big silver! 1942 Mercury... Gonna keep that, just the way it is.
Thanks for looking, and Happy 4th!
