"Silver Park" ~ 6 Silvers, 28 Wheats / "Home Site" ~ 0 Ag, 13 Wheats, Au, relics
Hello My Friends!
After a full day of detecting on Sunday at a giant home lot site, I drove home with one sure conclusion: Turf hunting always seems to be much more productive for me than lot hunting.
I busted my behind yesterday for 13 wheats, a bunch of clad, and some marbles. It was fun to meet up with all of Leo's gang, while producer/cameraman, Jeff, was filming another episode of Finder's Keepers, a local cable TV detecting show. A couple of other keepers in my pouch at the end of the day was a broken 18 kt white gold bracelet (marked "750 Italy"), and a very large one piece flat button. The button has no markings on it. It's 1.5" in diameter, and is very thin. If anyone approximate a date of a button of this type, I'd appreciate it. One of my buddies said the button reminded him of some of the Colonial era flat buttons he was finding while in PA last year. If it is that old, I have no idea what it was doing in a 20's-30's neighborhood. 
All the silver coinage, including 28 wheaties were found at my silver park in two short hunts. Today, all 4 of my silver coins that I found had another target in the hole with them. The '60 Washington was found with two 1960 memorial pennies in my plug at around 7". The two 1957 Rosies were found in the same plug with a 1954 nickel in the dirt on a hillside, and the final '57 Rosie was found next to a ringtab. All the coinage I found today came from an area that I had detected 3-4 times before with my 1050 coil last year. It's a very trashy area, and the Pro Coil performed very well today.
So if you ask me where I'd rather be detecting, I would answer "The turf, of course"!
I forgot to mention that with today's silver coins from my "silver park", I currently have found over 200 silver coins from this single park in the past 14 months....still producing, and I couldn't be more pleased! 
I would like to personally than Bob Crompton (Bullfrog) for sharing and inviting me to the giant home lot site and getting a chance to detect the area on Sunday with a bunch of S. Cal pros. Great camaraderie!
Thanks for looking!
