Today I returned to the OLD school that has been giving up some real goodies. The ground is absolutely BONE dry and everything there is deep for the age of the coins, most things are around 7" Signals are horrible because the site has a lot of iron. No signals are cut and dry most are choppy scratchy and only good from one or two directions. I am not returning here till we get some much needed rain.

I went as slow as I could possibly stand it, had sensitivity cranked up to about 90%
Signals were just high tone whispers amongst all the deep iron.

First dig of the day was a 1941 merc. Very next hole 10 feet away was another signal that just did not say silver dime, but I dig every signal there that is deep, turned out to be 2 mercs in one hole 1919, and 1944. :thumbsup:

Found 2 wheats, then nothing for almost an hour, not even clad. I got a zinc penny signal at 4" deep so I dug it for lack of something to do and it turned out being this little kids ring, unfortunately it is only 10K Filled. Still cool to find. :tongue3:

Got a 4th merc shortly after,.... another 1944 and then 2 more wheats. One of the last things I dug is the larger item pictured, not sure what it is, but it has a cool design on it.

First day I have ever dug as many silver as I did wheats, nice even 4 silver and 4 wheats. :icon_thumright:
Right now I am standing at 31 silver coins and 219 wheats for the year

That is a terrific hunt. If I found something like that, my girlfriend would probably not get mad at me for coming home filthy.

My wife gets exited when I'm dirty. ;D

Very nice hunt. I would love to have a four silver day. I really like the old sash buckle. That will look good in your display case.

Good Luck

Now that's a nice hunt... :notworthy:

I Love Old Schools! Nice hunt!
 
thanks guys, I have been real lucky with the finds lately, however I have been hunting almost every single day of the week being laid off.
 
yes you had a great day.....Matt
 
Good solid finds. But, major bummer, being laid off. Here's me hoping that your finds will continue,
and that you will FIND new employment. I am almost 65, still working, but self-employed......but worried, as
the situation here in S. Korea is much dependent on the situation in the States. (In the city I live in, the
S. KOreans are engaged in a serious protest with a company (automotive) that has tried to shut its doors,
but the workers keep showing up for work. Interesting concept.
Anyway, hoping for your best.
 
Terry, I think you did real well despite the bouts with mother nature :dontknow:
