A Few Hunts Yield Silver And Copper

[angellionel]

I was able to get out for a few afternoon hunts this week, with today's hunt being the most productive. The one park I hunted this afternoon yielded eight silver dimes.

These are from the earlier hunts. The Roosevelt dimes are not old, but they are silver. ;) The other item is a piece of sterling silver jewelry.

Two more coppers, but much too corroded to be able to make out any details. :bummer:

The content of this old compact had been rattling, and it sounded metallic. :cheesysmile: Unfortunately it was not a coin making the noise, but the loosened metal base of the compact. :ticked:

An old religious pendant and several wheat cents were among the recent finds.

These are the finds from today's afternoon hunt. I detected for 4 1/2 hours before calling it a day. It was getting late and I had a long drive back home.

They sure don't hold up well at all. :bummer: The parks out here are copper killers. I am happy to have found them though. :grin:

I do have a good collection of copper washers.:lol: I did find a few that are in fairly good condition, so I can't really complain. :yes:

I did try to make the 500 mark with that last hunt, but the park shut me out.:lol:

Nice finds, too bad on those coppers you find. What is it in the soil by you that ravages the coppers?

I'm not really sure, though I surmise a good deal has to do with poor drainage. :confused:
