The boy and I finally got hold of the owner of a 1920 yard we've been wanting to detect.
Things were slow for awhile and we had our suspicions that it had been hunted already. Then I got a 85-86 on the AT Pro. Flipped a plug and saw silver in the hole, my third SLQ this year and still none with a date.
I was in the side yard and the boy was in the lower front yard. Every time I asked him if he found anything he'd tell me junk. Then he hollers up to me he says he has silver himself, 63 Washington. Little did I know he was digging Chinese cash coins the whole time, 5 total? Along with a Sunoco token, a Palmolive token a and two wheats.
My only other half decent finds were 2 wheats and a small brass bell and my second 1888 Indian Head. I just found a 1888 IH yesterday, what are the odds of finding two 1888 IH's two hunts back to back and eight miles apart?
In the middle of our hunt the neighbor comes over to talk to us. He tells us his brother use to live there and that he had already detected the property? No, we didn't tell him we found anything. Lol

Anyway...2 of my better finds were found in a very small yard that was detected for years by one of the guys living there and his brother. I didn't bother him with details or shame him either lol. Do you and your son always get such nice finds? It seems every day you 2 are making great hunts.
