Detector(s) used
Minelab E-Trac
I got my brother in law hooked on detecting about a year ago. I fired the etrac up in his lawn last year and pulled a handful of wheats as well as a merc. he immediately said in a friendly way 'stop im getting my own detector and wanna hunt my lawn' well a year has passed and he has found plenty of silver in his lawn. so today we got permission from his neighbor to hunt his lawn. we had a pretty good day (3 hours worth of hunting). he ended up with two or three mercs (not pictured) as well as a minty '42 walker half (not kidding when i say he was two feet away from me when he was diggin git). I ended up with 5 silver and 22 wheats ('36, '39, '44 mercs & '47, '5x im calling it my 8 cent piece as 20% of it is missing).

Keep on a diggin'em up! Looked like alot of fun working those yards Neil.
 

Thats a nice hunt...

Not to be a party pooper but it looks like 4 7/8 silver and not 5......Lol

congrats....
 

yeah yeah,,, thats why i called it my 8-cent piece haha.. poor guy fought a lawn mower and lost... i found a few other 'trinkets' while digging but they are still in my vest pockets in the car (will get them out today and wash them up). I may try to get out there and swing it a bit today and see what we come up with..

I think they must have issued those good luck tokens at some point in the past. Found quite a few over the years.

But hold on! That's not all! Got me one of those soldiers/frontiersman like yours too! Okay, got mine a while ago, but it looks like they got into the same fight.

Man your killing it this week, keep 'em coming Neil!
