Hey diggers,

Got out a few times over the last week and a half. Did some door knocking and got a few oldies. I also met up with Denny and we hit a couple spots in St. Louis. I gave him a little tutorial for his new e-trac. I found a couple wheat cents and a silver earring.

I also started revisiting sites I hunted about 5 years ago when I first got my ACE 250. I hit an old school and an old park and got a few keepers at each place. 4 silvers this morning takes my total to 75 for the year. The silver quarter was 10 inches deep and rang up as a scratchy 12-40. The other silvers were also deep and very hard to lock on the signal. I was surprised every single time because I thought it was deep penny or even just iron-falsing. Also, this seemed to be my week for old toy cars!

Thanks for looking and HH, Dave.

Quite the selection of goodies Dave,
The 1936 Wheaties on the chain seems
most unusual....Keep Cool!

Looks like you now have plenty of sites to visit with that Etrac. Some very nice finds, love that wheat bracelet and the cars are great.
Your 75 silvers is also quite impressive.

Great bunch of finds, Dave! You got a little bit of everything. Old coins, silver, token, and several toy cars. I really like the bracelet with the 1936 wheat cents.
