Hello Everyone,
My silver coin streak with the new SE Pro coil extends to 7 consecutive hunts.
Today, I had about 4 hours to kill, so I headed to a park that I've been to many times before. In fact, it's the park I've found the most silver at this year so far. I'm always saying to myself, "I wonder if there's anything left?" And my machine usually tells me, "Yes there is!"
About 30 minutes into the hunt, I found my first dime of the trifecta, a '37 Merc. 10 minutes later, I dug the three-ringer bullet that was about 50 ft up the hillside. Anyone who can provide more info on this bullet I'd appreciate it. Maybe a .45-70 round, Indian War Era? 
I don't usually find bullets like this around here. After coming off of the hillside, I dug my 2nd silver dime: An '06 O barber in very nice shape. Sweet!! What do you think? Maybe a $100 coin? Each letter of "LIBERTY" is visible on the wreath. It was right next to a chunk of nulling iron. Just about that time, my buddy, Mike(ratman) arrived with his Dad. He proceeds to show me the '64 silver Rosie he found in the tot lot, and I show him my finds up to that point. I was moving down the slope about 50 yards from my barber dig, and noticed a jawbone with teeth protruding from the dirt. Looks like it had been there for some time. I was told by an expert that it is a Pig's jawbone. I picked it up and placed it in my pouch. That's something else I don't usually find on a detecting trip. I finished the day with a '64 Rosie, which was on the dirt hillside to complete the Trifecta. So, all in all, a good day, with a couple of unexpected finds. One of the old pennies I dug turned out to be a 1921 Canadian cent. Is this the first year Canada made the smaller penny?
Thanks for looking!!
Good luck to all!!
