I started a 3 hour hunt in the back of the house. I drifted towards the barn and got a sweet sound of music on the DEUS. At around 6 inches, the Garrett Carrot told me their was something large in the hole.
I dig out a healthy scoop with my Lesche Predator Shovel and sure enough, I was looking at half of an old lock. This is the second lock I have dug in the past week. There was my first horseshoe, so far at this homestead and a toasted Wheat Penny.
Things got quiet as far as signals go,, so I decided to try the front lawn. Got a clad Roosevelt and a Strong signal all the way down the center of the lawn , parallel to the street. I think it is an old abandoned gas line.
Finally, at the top of the lawn, where children might sit, waiting for daddy to pull into the driveway, I got a really sweet signal. At about 6 inches, I pulled out a Silver Roosevelt. (1953). I stuck the Carrot back in the hole and got another signal. Scooped out some dirt and I'm staring at a 1936 Mercury Dime. Very happy to get a Silver Spill. First one in awhile
