Grassy Square Yields Silver

[angellionel]

For several years while driving about I would pass by a small grassy square located just a few miles from my house, and each time I would say to myself that I need to work that place sometime. Well, today was finally the day.

I arrived at the site at almost 4:30 and remained detecting there for about two hours. Trash at the site was minimal, as were, surprisingly, clad coins. But there were good targets too. In the end I walked away with four silver coins, two Barber dimes dated 1905 and 1909, and two mercury dimes dated 1927 and 1941. I also scored with one 1901 Indian Head cent and 26 wheat cents. :happydance01:

Nice hunt and a good hunch paid off. Yet again, you find more in two hours than I do in months of searching, very nice!

Some of those little spots can be sleepers ;) :yes:
Way to follow through on your hunch :thumbsup01:
In the picture of the pennies, the coin on the far right side looks funny :confused: Is that some sort of play money? Foreign money? Or are my eyes just playing tricks on me? :dontknow: :lol:
Nice hunt!
Congrats :grin:

Very nice group of silver Angel. :clapping: Two Merc and two Barbers... :smitten:
It's always rewarding when a hunch pays off.
Congrats on all those wheats and IH too.

Angel, you should write a book about your technique, you seem to pull old silver out of every spot you hunt. :clapping:

Last year I dug up 1,873 wheat cents. As far as key dates I don't know since I haven't looked at the dates on the majority of them. :thinkingabout: I do remember several with 1909 VDB dates. :yes:
