Fellow MDer's,

Had 1/2 the afternoon today to MD. I went down to a house where I have done some tile floors to look at an eyebrow window in the roof that had its window stool rotting off. Told the homeowner I could probably figure out how to replace the stool and would figure on doing it after winter. With work out of the way I hit the yard for some MD fun. This is the same house where I found a rough 1864 Two Center a couple of weeks ago. I went slow and methodically with my DFX and had lots of luck pulling targets. Best finds were a 1892 Barber dime and '35 Merc, both were kind of stubborn getting a good signal on but felt there was a good target under the ground - luckily I dugem :drool:. Also for silver I dug a nice simple silver ring that I gave to my daughter. Found 9 Wheats with 2 real nice 1915's. Found a real nice rabbit figure to go with a mouse figure I also found in this yard, real heavy cast object that rang up 80-81 VDI. Found $3.96 in newer change which made for a lot of wishful false silver hopes. Some of the miscellaneous items of interest where the marbles found in dug holes, Japanese aluminum coin, and a musketball?? I believe. Wish I could post more than 6 pictures, maybe someday..

We are getting some good rain here tonight and hope to get some good detecting in this weekend before the snow or freezing ground sets in. Enjoy the pics!!

Those are some sweet finds, but that old Barber would especially have had me smiling for sure. Really nice digs!

Great finds, I love the silver! You found the marbles in the same hole as the silver or other targets you dug?

LOTS of wheats!!!

Wow, nice digs. Those wheaties have a nice patina to them... the ones around here come out rough looking. The rabbit head is cool too... and a nice silver ring and sweet silver coins! All around a choice hunt. Congrats!

Some more pic's. I think I found a way around the pic limit:huh: :cheesysmile: The blue marble was in the same hole as the Mercury, and I think the yellow one was with a wheat penny.

Great hunt. Nice bunch of silver thumbsup01 It pays to go slow and dig those iffy targets every once in a while. Keep at that place.
