Found a new site recently and its turning out to be brilliant. First time I hunted the site I found two musket balls, barber dime, Silver Washington Quarter and about 25 Wheat pennies and an IH.
Second hunt I found three Draped Bust large cents and a KG II half penny, but no silver.
Third hunt I found an 1876cc seated dime, 2 merc's, Washington silver Quarter and a Standing liberty Quarter(no date).
So, I went out today and was digging mostly wheats, then a couple of IH. I was loosing hope on any silver, then dug a merc dime, checked the hole again and found the 1900 o Barber Quarter(same hole). Then shortly after dug a Jefferson silver dime, then the silver Washington Quarter. It was getting dark and as I swung my coil next to a small tree about an inch in diameter. I heard a faint beep. My machine often beeps when I hit a tree limb or any object. I checked again and it gave me a consistant beef right at the edge of the tree as my coil was bumping it. I dug about 8 to 10 inches down put my pin pointer in the hole and got a signal. When I pulled it out I noticed it had a yellowish tint and very thin. I knew it was silver, but a bit bigger than a dime and too small for a quarter. I thought immediately Spanish silver. Sure enough as I rub the @&^* out of it(as I usually do, can't stop myself) I saw the crown and was extremely excited. These are the moment we dig for.
Ohe forgot possibly the most important find. I believe it to be an official 1910 United States Census badge. When I dug it I thought it was a kids play badge. The C looked like a G so I couldn't figure out what it said, until my wife told me I'm an idiot and it said Census. I have to research it more, but I hope its legit. Thanks for looking
