I got out on Sat for just a quick 1/2 hour to check out some old dirt hills at a school. Got 4 pennies. On the way back to the car I was swinging half hazardously when I got a signal in the middle of the big field. Sounded like a deep quarter...I thought silver for sure since it's a very old school field...Got down about 8 inches and the probe chirped a little...hum...deeper... dug out a bout an inch or so and the probe was singing... I thought the it had to be a half or a quarter. Dug out some more and the signal was out of the hole...Always love to know that....Moved the dirt around and that when I saw the big " slotted hole disc " Darn no silver....Cool looking 1965 F.P.D. #67 Tag... The best part of it was " I didn't scratch it." ( if it would have been a big coin I probably would have scratch it )
Today Sun. I got out with Neil at an old park. Managed to score 2 silver dimes (1952 & 1945 )and some wheaties. After that I hit a big field on the way home and scored a few wheaties and a 1936 Merc... Came home with $5.10 in clad, a football ring,WB Item, 1970 Rabies Tag , 3 silver, 8 wheaties.
Thanks for coming out Neil...It was fun.....again.....
