MAX Got An Old Silver Before The Snow Storm Hit.......

[John-Edmonton]

Headed out this morning for a hunt. There was a weather advisory out for a good dump of snow in Edmonton, so I hunted anyway. It was a comfortable -7C / 19.4F to detect. The ground was pretty hard, so I brought along my pick-ax. There were some good signals to be had!





My very first signal was repeatable 83. I was expecting a modern penny, but to my surprise, a 1929 silver dime popped out at about 2 inches deep. Next 2 coins came from the same hole....a measured 9" deep. Out popped a 1918 large cent and a 1935 small cent. Up higher on the slop popped out a 1933 small cent. It was quite a surprise to get these finds today, It was a week ago that I got that gold ring in the same area. Got to go back again.

Hey John, do you use hand warmers on your detector and if you do what kind?

Glad you could get out and most of all find something! Here a pick ax wouldn't work very well need a Jack-Hammer is more like it. Ground is frozen with three inches of ice on top. Get it when you can and HH

As a Washingtonian, the Canadian cent coin has me faked out more than anything.

They ring up as an American silver dime every time. I basically guess my targets are Canadian cents when they sound like a silver dime.

Congrats on the silver!
