Got back to a grove with a playfield I had permission for some time back.
Dug some clad that surfaced here and there and the rain was coming and going all evening in scattered showers.
I thought the silvery wire piece on the bottom was jewelry of some type, but it is actually an eyeglass frame.
Too late as I already snapped the photo.
Was quite surprised however to pop this silver quarter out in about 3-4" of soil (on edge).
I have not dug many silver coins this shallow before.
Glad to have some moisture in the ground again, as it was impossible to not to damage the soil/turf in extraction; therefore ceasing all turf hunting.
I decided not to go back out until it rained well again...and it finally did.
Man, this is a weird Summer.

Rain came through here tonight, not enough of a soak though. Still hoping for more rain prior to this weekend.
