I've had a little luck in the last couple weeks since my morgan find ...so here we go.....
Hit my new honey hole at the crack of dawn this morning , to avoid most of the heat.Started off slow, lots of trash and a couple clads. Then on the sidewalk strip, i get a crazy signal bouncing from dime to penny to pulltab..back and forth. I cut a deep plug, flipped it back and the signal was deeper in the hole. Loosened up a few inches of dirt, scooped it out and had a handful of pennies. 8 or nine of them .all wheats. more signal in the hole, so repeat last step. MORE wheats lol. Spent 20 minutes digging in and around some concrete chunks a measured 9 inches down to get all that would ring up. 25 of em sheesh! All in the early 50's except for 6 in the 40's. Also pulled a 1950 dog tag (in 2 pieces) from the same hole.
Moved to a different location in the older part of town and hit a big empty lot that evidently had houses at one time. My first signal was a solid 50 cents at 6 inches..and out pops a pretty 1941 no mintmark walker . A few clad pennies that were fairly deep, and then i hit a penny dime signal so i dug it hoping for a IH. Nope..just a dang nitro. ( i think) its got 10 K THG and what looks like ESPO in the band, but it sure looked plated and fake to me. Most of the stones are missing, and appear to have been glued in. So i threw it in my junk ring box Also pulled a 1915 wheatie.
Last week while hunting an old house site now part of a city park, i stumbled onto a franklin half, and 2 IH's, a 1902 and an 1888..my first here in louisiana :clapping:. Here's a few pics ...hope its not too many :happydance01:
Happy hunting all...thanks for looking :grin:
