Silver nickel, dimes, quarter and finally a Franklin

[daytondigger]

The old pinic grounds I've been detecting this year never seems to run out of finds. I was hitting up an area I skipped a while back after digging memorials and clad at 5 inches. It was a fairly large area and deserved more time. Right off the bat I was digging wheats. I dug three nickels, including a war nickel in the same hole. Two of the nickels were fifties dates and many of the wheats were late forties through the fifties. I started thinking this area would be prime area to locate my first Franklin half. I've been detecting for 25 plus years and have found several Barbers and Walkers, but no Franklins. So far this site has given up a nice Walker and a 64 Kennedy. I was digging silver Roosies, mercs, tons of wheats, a couple injuns, a buffalo nickel a lot of clad. Finally I dug a nice sounding target and about 4 inches down I spied a nice large silver edge. I thought for a brief moment that I'd be disappointed if it was a Walker......yeah right! Well, there it was, my first Franklin. A nice 1954-D half. Soon after I dug a nice sterling ring and a pendant with a 20's or 30's type car. I decided I should leave, but was hoping for a silver quarter. On the way back to the car I dug deep into some tree roots and scored a 1941-D quarter.

Man you are killing the silver DD. Sometimes your mind can "will" a find. I did that once when I found an Eisenhower dollar. I wanted to find another and two days later, thinking real hard about it, 200 yards away I found a second one.

Thanks, after years of just finding a silver dime here and there, I finally got permission at a killer site. Research and connections can pay off.

Research those old parks and groves and you'll find your own hot spot, they are out there.
Thanks, Steve

I hate to admit it, but it seems to be true. Several times I have thought about digging a particular type of coin and found one. Weird, huh?
Thanks, Steve

Thanks Jack, I've been very fortunate this year. Maybe we can find a spot between Dayton and Richmond and do some hunting sometime.
