Working with coins and numbers

[McCDig]

When it all DOES add up....

Had an after work hunt in the city. Got to the park early to beat the traffic for the Orioles game.

Tried a few new areas to me and made my way back to the productive area from prior visits. It did not disappoint.
I came upon a three coin spill that included a V-nickel, and both Indian and wheat pennies. The Indian is the oldest at 1903, with the V next oldest at 1911, and the wheat at 1919, just 97 years old. Keep in mind that this hunt was today, May 31st. The combined ages of the three-coin spill is 315 years. The 315 y.o. spill was found on the 31st day of the 5th month.....how weird! Now it would have been much cooler to find a single coin dated 1701, but, alas, not today, and not very likely in this park. Ha!

Glad to come away with the Indian and the V, those give me a decent start for the Club's 'Board' competition at the end of June.

Aside from the 1919 wheat there were 7 other wheats ranging from 1913 to 1951. Where's the silver?

Thanks Tommy! The Indian came out first, then the wheat, followed by the V....a rare find.

Nice hand full of copper & congrats on your finds. This day at the park would have made my day also - anyway thanks for sharing and wish you many more great finds while out dirt fishing.

Looks like a good day McCDig. It's not every hunt that gives up 10 keepers. Parks around here do not produce as well as the park you were at. I did find one park up in Lorain that I have detected 4 times. I pulled a keeper on 3 hunts, but the 4th one I only pulled trash and clad.

Nice range of coins. Congrats!

Thanks Texas Ed. I plan on heading back tomorrow AM. Will hit the tot lot early and then switch machines and look for deep targets.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks L-D. I've heard the guys in the club say that targets are getting scarce in the park I've been detecting, but the upside is that I've moved into parts I haven't detected before. Lots of trash, but good targets too. Awesome every now and then to hear that faint repeatable tone!

Thanks Tommy G. Yes. When I went to my first test area I used someone's advice of going right to the center. Did that and the first good signal was the 1913 wheat.

Thanks Art. It was, as you said, a "good hunt". Got a little frustrated part way through but then I finally got "in the zone".
