The Pickings Are Getting Lean

I worked my butt off today and only managed one silver coin, a 1959 Rosie. I thought I was going to have a really good day, because I had a great site lined up to detect. I put all of my stock in that site and I didn't have a backup site to detect.

Right off the bat I found several wheat pennies, then I hear this boom music. A couple of car loads of rough looking characters stopped and parked in front of a house a couple of doors down. They got out and started milling around and looking up my way.

I couldn't concentrate on detecting so I got the hell out of there. I spent the rest of my time hitting some curb and sidewalk grassy areas. I was surprised when I pop the Rosie, because it wasn't a very good looking spot.

This was my 92nd hunt for the year and my grand total for silver coins this year is 245.
I'll total all my gold and silver rings and other jewelry at the end of the year.

Well maybe you can get back to the better site without the hoodlums hanging around -soon ! sounds like it has potential for a silver merc or two with all those wheats coming up !

Good finds, keep slinging dirt

Thanks Everyone! The pressure is mounting and time is short.

I'm hitting it again in the morning. All my good detecting spots have been rape, pillaged and blundered. I need virgin ground.

Nice finds Tabman! Also - congrat's on being aware of what is going on around you (guys milling around). It amazes me how some people haven't a clue what is going on around them.

Hey Tab, I know some virgin ground in Detroit. Could get your quota there possibly. Not many rough looking people up that way.
