Beautiful Day, Thawed Ground = Indian Head, Mercs, Wheats

[Tony Two-Cent]

Yesterday was a perfect day for metal detecting. Bright sunshine, temps in the upper 50s, birds singing and very little wind. A welcome sight after the brutal winter we've had!
The ground was 100% thawed, it was like digging through butter. :smitten:

I tried two new sites but they were both pretty much a bust, although I did find an Indian Head at the first one. So, I ended up back at a park that I had hunted twice before a couple of years ago. At this park I found 7 wheat cents and 2 Mercury Dimes. It was good to finally get some silver this year.

Here are all of the coins I found:

And here are the keepers:

Here are the relics: part of an old pocket watch, metal buttons, rivet, big hunk of lead, and a buckle. The ceramic button was in the same hole with one of the metal buttons.

And the junk:
