Metal Detecting
Went to the truck to take a few swigs of Mt. Dew and think about calling it a day. I had been at it for 3 hours with nothing to show but the token, a few wheats and some clad. I have pulled 4 silvers from this place last 6 weeks so I decided I had another hour left in me. Found them all with the Fisher. That's when I found the 2 dimes... 1- 1946 D/ 1964/ 6 wheats and 2 old nickels. Very trashy so I was running on high disc.... I found the 2 nickels by cranking the disc. down to 3 whenever I found a pocket spill. This Mississippi Black Gumbo Mud is hard to dig in. It's like sticky black clay but those silvers sure look good in it! Happy Hunting and remember this hobby takes more patience than anything else I can think of.

2 rosies makes for a great hunt, with silver at over $31 an oz. those babies are worth $2.36 each
 

wouldn't be detecting without mud!! congrats on the silvers!
 

nice job on your finds.
 

Thanks everyone! That makes 6 silver dimes from this site (1925/ 1946-D/ 1951/ 3X 1964) and from all of the deep clad it looks as though I have found a small spot that has never been hunted. I will work it hard until the heat and humidity put it to a stop. I hope all of you can find such a site!
