Silver Jesus, saved! and some other stuff...

A balmy 35 degrees this morning, bundled up and got out this morning at the park I've been hunting... and didn't find a blasted thing! So I called up my friend Dave to see if he was out freezing today and he and another friend, Anthony were at another park nearby. They were kind enough to extend an invitation and I headed over that way. Slow going at first. When I arrive Dave had a wheat and Anthony was in another part of the park. Later, on his way out Anthony showed me his nice finds, a silver bracelet and a Barber dime! I hit an area Dave had covered before and done well in. He left me a few very iffy signals that turned out to be wheats, one straight up on edge. A good sign for me, so I stayed in this area and another iffy signal turned out to be a 1943 dime. An 01-35 signal turned out to be a sterling silver cross on a chrome plated chain. A few more wheats and then a 10-46 signal right next to one of Dave or Anthony's holes was a worn 1918 dime. About that time I was hungry, losing feeling in my fingers and needed a restroom so I checked in with Dave and he was still chasing silver. I felt confident he'd get one as soon as I cleared out, so I left him to it. (He texted me later that he got a 1939 dime!)
