SILVER at the end of the tunnel!!!

[ModernMiner]

Well, I hit my favorite farm spot at lunch today, and "yes" I found silver. It's not a great find, but I had some help. I remember reading posts & tips on TN about how moles will burrow a tunnel under the ground and move an item just enough so that a signal can be picked up by a detector. Well, that's EXACTLY what happened to me today. I was working an area in the back yard that I've hit over and over before. I started waving my mighty Tesoro over a mole tunnel. At the very end of his tunnel I got a good signal. I thought for sure it would be more iron, but instead, it was my lucky day. It was a 1945D Quarter this time!!!
Thank you Mr. Mole!
My other finds were a toy "10" play money piece, a 1940's aluminum clothes pin, and a blue toy wheel.
I also dug up a large iron wheel hub from an old buggy or cart. I'll post that picture later.
Thanks for looking.

P.S. Mirage (Bob), I told you I was going to try to redeem myself after yesterday's hubcap post. Can I stay on TN now?

Excellent post. I must admit after reading your post the other day I was thinking to myself..."How do you dig a freakin' hubcap?" That was a funny post.

Thanks Silver. It takes a lot of years of training to find and dig a hubcap. I discriminated out "cars" and "rims", and went right for the hubcaps only.

Dang, I thought you were going to get the big BOOT! I guess we have to put up with you for a while again. Good think you used your brain. That's the way to do it.

That is very sweet MM. Especially from the Farm. You are on your way to Metal Detecting Greatness.

Terrific quarter Doug, I never thought of checking mole tunnels. It certainly is logical when you think about it. I have lots of moles in my yard right now, I wonder......

Holy crap that was funny!!!!!!!!

Great post as always... I like the stories as much as the pictures. We have Richardson Ground Squirls here that tunnel and leave huge mounds at the tunnel entrances, sometimes holes 10 - 12 inches across and mounds three or four feet across - always a great place to detect! Those little buggers move a lot of material, and sometimes goodies.

Thanks everyone. At first I was a little leery about driving my digger into the end of that tunnel. I thought "what if the mole is at the end of this tunnel, still doing HIS digging. Thank God the quarter popped out instead of HIM.
Have a great w/end.

Miner, this just shows the fantastic discrimination of a Tesoro machine!
