(**UPDATED - Video) What's Up With All These Shiny Dimes?

[youtube=425,350]pMxeqqasvM8[/youtube]

I hit the jackpot this afternoon! I went for a couple of hours to hunt an old school that I’ve been working lately. It’s a school with an odd time period of use. It was in operation from the early 1960′s until the early 1970′s, then it was closed down. I found three silver dimes there last week. Honestly, I didn’t hold out much hope for finding any more.

Boy, was I wrong!

I dug 8 wheat pennies …

And, curiously enough, I dug 3 old Canadian pennies from our Wheat Penny period …

But the real “goods” was the 6 silver dimes that I found! All in a relatively small area! They make silver/gold find #'s 85-91 for me in 2011!

I also dug a pretty good pile of clad. Actually, there’s not a Zincoln in the bunch. All of the pennies are genuine copper from the 1960′s. Every one of them gave a really high / borderline dime VDI. Frustrating …

Thanks for looking! Happy Hunting!!

I wasn't getting any deep nickel signals in this area. I thought it was strange, too. There is a lot of shallow trash in the nickel range ... mostly can slaw. I'm going to finish cherry-picking the school yard for silver before I dig in and hunt for the deep jewelry.

Worked on the video some last night. I'm still trying to figure out iMovie (thought I would make this new video on my MacBook Pro). I should have it done and get it uploaded tonight. Gracias.
