Today I decided to take my White's MXT to an old park. Upon arrival I noticed park employees working near the play ground. They had removed some sod and dug a hole in the center. I went over to talk with them, and found that they were about to plant a tree. I ask if I could hunt the area where the sod had been removed and I was given permission. I had just made a few sweeps when I located two targets just inches away from each other. One target indicated quarter and the other dime. I dug both targets recovering a 1942 silver quarter and a 1934 mercury dime. Both coins showed wear but other than that they were in good condition. I don't dig alot of silver so I was pretty excited with the recoveries. After making those recoveries I continued with my hunt, finding some clad,a junk ring, Key, charm, gold dollar, and a cool Elvis Presley photo button. All in All not a bad day. Thanks for looking and HH, Dennis in Idaho

It pays to be on the alert! Good going.
 
Good eye Steelhead and great find's........HH!!
 
Nice Silver but The King takes cake...I once found a near perfect IKE button in a sewing case...Still have it....

But nothin' messes with the King...LOL

Nice Day out...
 
The silver is nice, but the Elvis button is the best! Ha, Ha. Congrats.
 
Great finds. Always like the silver. The dollar coin is great. Did you scan the dirt pile as well? I've found good coins in the removed dirt too.

HH.
 
You were in the right place at the right time. Very nice silver.
 
Nice haul, Dennis!

That Elvis pin looks like it's in great shape. Gotta be worth something there.

Thanks for sharing.
 
Congrats on the silver Dennis! I found one of those Sacagawan Dollars here in Germany, was a nice find. I have worked on the Army post where Elvis was stationed, Friedberg outside of Frankfurt (closing down as I type) and had a look at the house he had rented for him and his band, his band was actually here with him. HH, Mike
 
WGT Dennis... Are there any mint marks on the silver?
