For this week's hunt, I decided to check an area that I had previously thought unlikely as the location of the spot I've been looking for--an area down by a lake front.

I guess my silver sense was working, because I scored a silver dime--the only problem being that the area I found was not an 1850s gathering spot, but instead a 1960s gathering spot.

The pennies are 1968 and 1964, the dime is a 1964. The pull tabs are also 1960s vintage, and the pipe lid fits the mood of the era as well.

The one identifiably old item, a 1901 Leader shotgun casing, was not even a detected find--I spotted it visually while scouting the area! Figures, eh?

Certainly agree and hope that you get some great finds in the spring. I have so many spots I have found grown over now, just can't wait till the vegetation is dead and down. Hope we both score well after what seems like a long long long wait right now.
