Stopped off at an old burned house and the old inn park early in the morning, but it did not produce. So, about 9:30 am, I headed to the military base to see if I could pick up a silver or two. As I entered a house tear down site, my machine rang loud and true with a silver quarter reading right next to the curb. Thought it was probably some junk, but was pleasantly surprised as a large silver reeded edge appeared as the plug was laid back. It was a 1962 D Washington! As I headed down the long stretch of missing old houses, the old teck 8000 rang out with a silver dime reading. When I lifted the large chunk of dry dirt from the hole, I looked at the bottom of it and saw a silver Roosevelt embedded in the bottom. It turned out to be a 1951 dime. Kept going for another hour or so and decided to start heading back to my vehicle, when I got a deeper penny reading. I was happy to see another silver dime come out of the ground, a 1935 merc! Thanks for looking.
