Mercs, Rosies, & a First
Saturday: Started the day at 7:30am at the small Park LI Tom and I have been hunting. This park has provided generously for both, but.......the only area that holds the silver is the smallest of patches. With that said, we've gridded that area so many times, it is unbelievable that coins are still coming out. Just the other night I was telling Tom something to the effect of "We can go there and probably find one silver each or perhaps one of us finds two but that is it. Well, Saturday it was a different tune. I ventured to an area a couple hundred feet from that honey hole and managed to find a dirty/stained merc. With nothing else coming out, I went back to the honey hole and out came another merc, followed by a Rosie and then another Rosie. The metal detecting first? A .22 pistol. Gave the police a call and they immediately came over to pick it up. I called it a day at 3:30pm.
Sunday: Headed over to a park that has been just as generous for both Tom and I. Tom has done really well here, and it was a joint effort yesterday to locate even more "Spill pockets". I say that because it seems the silver coins are in very concentrated areas in that park. You could find some silver in a 50x30' foot area and everything else around it will be memorials at 5". We weren't able to locate anything new, but we did manage to squeeze out some more from the areas we had already detected. Tom managed the bigger silver and for me it was two mercs that I was more than happy with. Mercs make the detecting day in my book.........all day, any day. My style of detecting has changed over the last month or so from cherry picking to digging just about anything that sounds good, hence all the junk that is being photographed lately. Before, I would go out and dig 60 coins with maybe one or two caps and some object here and there. As usual, photos enclosed and below.

This weekend was a bust for me having to work Saturday and all. As I was telling Tom, maybe we can meet up Saturday or the holiday Monday.
