I been on a little bit of a cold streak for the last three weeks with all the rain and cold temps, but it all changed Saturday. I went back to the town I found my
seated half again and tried door knocking to start out. The first house the lady said go ahead, but said it had already been checked so I thought I would give
it an hour and move on to the next spot. She was right, it was slow with only a few wheat and my first Indian in almost three weeks! It took awhile but
just before I was ready to leave I got a solid 27-28 signal and was thinking silver dime, I was wrong, it was a silver spoon!! My first one ever.
After that I decided to hit some sidewalks I had already hit, but go down the middle this time as I had already done the sidewalk and curb sides. After only a
few minutes I was rewarded with a 1942 Merc I had missed the first two times, after finishing that side of the block I crossed over to the other side and made it only
about 30 feet and had another solid 27-28 and out popped a 1936 Merc! it was literally ten feet from where I had found a Rosy three weeks earlier.
When that block was done I door knocked again and after a bit found a nice 1960 Rosy in that yard and hardly anything else after about 45 mins.
I decided to just concentrate on sidewalk strips the rest of the day and wasn`t disappointed, after three more hours I got four more Mercs!! It seemed they
were jumping out about every block and a half, this was one of those days when you don`t hope for silver, you expect it! It was soooooo cool to see them
keep popping out of my plugs all day long!
I almost forgot, I also dug my first ever Indian in a sidewalk strip today, it was down about 5 inches and made my day!
The silvers were so exciting, I almost forgot I had the best wheaty day in three months too, 20 today!!
Also found some tokens, one being a Washington tax token? wonder what that's doing here in Minnesota
?
The last two Mercs were finds from the last couple weeks along with the silver tie clip(I think).
What an amazing silver day, 7 coins and the spoon, wow!
