Weekend finds, dime trifecta, indians, tokens.....

Goes4ever · May 30, 2011

well this has been an interesting weekend. I hunted a ton of yards and not a one of them was virgin, every place we went had been hit before. Finds at each place were slim, but overall together made a nice little haul of goodies.
Friday you know I got the 1773 Virginia half penny, and a couple wheats, saturday I was with DiggerDan and I got some more wheats, indian,....then sunday I did a marathon hunt with Mr. Stuff, we started at 9am and didn't quit till 7pm.

We hit houses all over and just could not find a virgin yard to save our life.
I did pretty decent ended up with the following for the weekend:

1773 Virginia Half Penny
3 indians 1904, 1897 and 1879 (takes me to 45 injuns this yr)
37 assorted wheats
5 silver including a rosie, merc, barber for a trifecta
2 tokens
religious pendant
cufflink
a BIG number 8.....lol

It was a fun weekend, hope everyone got out and scored some goodies.

A lot of people (even some on this very forum), don't really know or appreciate how difficult it is to hit the trifectas nowadays. 20 years ago was a different story. You could've been using a rake as a detector and were virtually guaranteed multiple silvers on every hunt. Today, the shiny stuff is becoming MUCH harder to find...at least in my neck of the woods. Congrats on the trifecta :headbang:

You dug a heck of a lot of wheats too...always a good sign of silver. I'm sure there's more there. Go back, sloooooooow down & listen for those faint, repeatable, whisper signals :thumbsup:

Awesome weekend by any measure. I have been three dimes short on every hunt so far. Still looking for my first silver, but methinks the silver may have been cherry-picked. Great digs.
