It's has been a few weeks since I've been able to get out to do some detecting. It was either too cold, raining, frozen ground, being sick or had other things that I had to do. Well, I was really primed for this hunt and came out swinging in the light misty rain early this morning. It turned out to be a gorgeous day!
Right off around a old stump I unearthed a Rosie dime. Getting my first silver for the day took the pressure off, so I could relax and enjoy the ride. When I moved to the center of the yard I got what I thought was going to be a silver half dollar, but it turned out to be a sterling silver ST. Christopher pendant and necklace that was just a few inches down in the ground.
I'm on a roll! I turned my attention to grassy area between the curb and sidewalk. On my second pass and hitting the strip at a different angle I got nice high tone. It turned out to be a Mercury dime. I liked to have missed that one.
Satisfied that I gave the front yard a good going over, I proceeded to the backyard to see what I could find. Right off I got a good half dollar VDI number, but after digging the target it turned out to be a deep silver quarter instead. I'm way over due for a silver half.
I got strung out digging a bunch of clad coins, 7 wheat pennies and several toy cars, before getting a target signal that got my heart to racing. I just knew that I had finally cornered a silver half dollar. Nope, first out of the hole was a clad quarter and the next coin out the hole was my second silver quarter for the day. It just wasn't my day for silver half dollar. Tired and wore out I headed for the house to rest up for another hunt.
