James Monroe & Uncle Sam vs George Washington & Abe Lincoln!
put in 2hrs today at a spot that has been producing a ton of wheats lately, but not much else. Uncle Jeff kept telling me that there has to be silver there, just keep going back.........and back.........and back.......you get the point!
Today I went and started digging wheats pretty quickly, ended up with 8- 1941,1942,1944,1944,1937,1912,1910 and 1914. Finally got a signal I liked, dug it and saw the silver edge, YES I thought, until I rubbed it off and saw the words UNCLE SAM'S PLAY MONEY 1955
Turned out to be a play quarter.
Moved a little further and dug another great signal, pulled up what looked to be an old coin and rubbed the mud off to expose the face of James Monroe and saw the date 1817...more cleaning revealed 1817-1825, 5th President of the U.S. It ended up being a presidential token. So now I feel like Uncle Sam and James Monroe are beating up on me and basically telling me I will never find silver here...........well that was until George Washington came to my rescue in the form of a 1935 Silver Quarter! A few minutes later he came back to help again, this time as a 1936 Silver Quarter, YES
So between Abe and George, they took away the Monroe/Uncle Sam blues!
also found what I think is a gas cap, gas pump part, some buckles and a military looking button. Has an eagle perched on two swords. Also found a large fishing weight and what appears to be a lipstick case, even though I can't seem to open it and it doesn't appear to have a seam. oh, and 24 cents in clad!
