Last Night's Silver Dime Hunt
I went for a quick hour and half hunt before dark last night. Old house site, under the big trees.
The Deus found a couple of clad coins, and some trash... then a deep faint high tone, if the place didn't look so good, I would have passed on the signal, about 7" down the pinpointer indicated that there was a target near by... out comes a 1945 Merc. I plod along a bit further and get an odd mid/high tone, with multiple numbers flashing... the nickel number flashed, so, since I have never dug a buffalo, I started digging... out comes a '41 Jefferson, too new to be a buff to old to be a war nickel...damn. I rescan the hole and a perfect silver dime signal rings out, a big smile curls across my face... I dig down about 1" and out comes a '48 Rosie... the nickel was on top of the dime. I was lucky to find that one.
I also dug a '57 nickel, '57 wheatie, junk ring, #5 play money token and little Great Seal button.
Silver coins #32 and #33 YTD.
Thanks for looking and good luck!
