Sunday School Hunt - 3 Dimes & One Nickel, all Silver!

[ANTIQUARIAN]

I went back to the old school site for 3.5 hours today. I decided to concentrate on the area along the sides and rear of the 'playground' area. I'd hit this area pretty extensively with my Ace 350 last year and found little more than bottle caps and scrap metal shards! I decided to take 'Breezies' advice and detect walking backwards today! Detecting this way forces me to slow down and listen for all the deep signals!

My first silver find was a nice surprise; it was a 1918 Merc, which was quickly followed by a 1955 Canadian Dime. I then got a signal reading between 76 - 83 at 2" and thought, "ok another bottle cap" . . . when what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer! No that's not right . . . it was a 1903 Canadian Silver Nickel!

I managed to find one more silver, a 1964 Cdn Silver Dime at 6" deep, thankfully the soil here is gentle on silvers and coppers, as the 1946 Cdn Cent looks pretty good for being 66 years old!

Thanks for looking and hope you all have a good week,
Dave

There you go, persistance always pays off. Nice job on pulling up the silver, they look great.
I would bet you that there is still more to be found at that site.

Congrats on some very nice silver. I think I'd try moon walking to get a haul like that! Thank you for sharing some great pics.

Days of finds of multiple silver finds in a single hunt are but a distant memory, it's been a few years my friend.

HH,

Looks like you're having a good year too my friend. I'll be in Bangor for one night on Tuesday, then home on Wednesday, otherwise I would've given you a call. I'm down to Louisville the week after, hopefully there will still be some good weather when I return for some detecting before the freeze up!

Hope all's good with you and the kitties,
Dave
