Honey hole, 8 silvers and some gold.......plated jewelry

[daytondigger]

Went up to my favorite site again today and had a blast. The area I wanted to hunt was infested with screaming little people that were there on a field trip. So, I headed toward a big hill that I had not thoroughly covered. Not five minutes into the hunt I dug a 24-S wheat and then a foot away I dug a 1914 wheat, but there was still something in the hole. I couldn't quite pinpoint it at first. I turned on the sunray probe and found a Zincoln in the side of the hole , yuck! As I was filling in the hole I saw a silver edge in the dirt I took out. It was a really nice 1934 merc . I continued to dig teens and twenties wheats for a while and then someone turned the fawcet off. The kids left and I headed for the other hill. I dug three 1943 mercs in totally different spots, a worn 1918-S(?) merc, two Rooseys and a 1935-S quarter. I also dug 19 wheats, a bunch of clad, a ring that is proudly stamped 14K but is clearly not and a nice gold filled religeous pendant.

Was the coins very deep. I know up here in the Ogden area if your machine can't reach depths of a least 12" your outta luck with any silver.

Thanks everyone for the replies. Most of the silver is 4 to 6 inches deep at this park. It's a privately owned park and hasn't been hunted in the past, boy did I score a nice permission. I'm uploading some video to youtube and will post it on the youtube part of the forum when I get the chance. You can see all of my dig videos on youtube under "Dayton Diggers".
