I Just Had to Know....

[Ill Digger]

After my GRAND SLAM (http://www.americandetectorist.com/forum/index.php?topic=8763.msg98820#msg98820) last week I've been itching to get back to this park. :drool: So Monday morning I packed up my gear and made the 2 hour drive back down there. After digging my 4th or 5th hole I seen this laying in the spoils thumbsup01

It turned out to be a 1936D Merc :happydance01: After finding silver so soon I thought for sure I was in for another action packed day of poppin' silvers. But that was not to be the case \:[ I managed an occasional wheatie here and there. As the day was at it's half way point I started to work my way back to my truck. As I start to get closer I got into a little area were I was getting quite a few deep wheaties. Around 8- 9 deep. :shocked01: Thinking of the ol' cliché, Where there's wheats, there should be silver, I hung around that area till dark. I was rewarded soon digging a Merc from around the 9 inch mark :shocked04: <:. This one was a 1944. After back filling the hole I rescanned the hole. I was getting a breaking up of the threshold.....but no tone :confused: It wasn't like a null. But just breaking up of the threshold (if that makes sense). :dontknow: Out of curiosity I re-dug the hole and down deeper I picked up something with the Pro Pointer. After removing about 2 or 3 more inches of dirt from the hole, the hole went silent. Checking my dirt pile I seen the edge of another silver dime :shocked03: <: That was deep!! This one turned out to be a 1943 Merc. Making for silver number three on the day and my first official silver coin spill of 2012! <: :grin:
Heres the days goodies :)

I came away from the hunt with 11 wheaties. But one strikes me kinda funny :confused:
It looks like it's been melted in one spot, or pounded on with something. :confused: :dontknow:

This is what the back looks like.

The weather is turning back towards the winter side of things again around here. :frozen:
So I'm glad I was able to squeeze this hunt in .
But as Arnold Schwarzenegger would say.... I'll be back! :beatdown: lol
Thanks for lookin' & HH everyone! :grin:

Dang... you did quite well on your return trip. Especially on your way back to the truck. <:

Three more silvers for your 2012 pile buddy. :clapping: Glad to hear you grabbed your first of many, I am sure, coin spills this year. |:confused:)

You are right crying01 winter looks to be coming back for a bit. Won't last too long though. :happydance01:

Congrats on sneaking another hunt in while you can.

[Ill Digger]

Especially on your way back to the truck. <: Thanks buddy :beerbuddy: Thats kinda what I was thinking. I should've stayed over here by the truck this morning 8/
Who know's what else is still in that area? :confused: I guess theres really only one way to find out :dontknow: I'll just have to go back and look! lol
I probably would've stayed in that area in the morning after binging the Merc, but I had to go to the other side of the park to check something. :thinkingabout:


Probably just a couple of small gold coins that were dropped with the Two Cent piece... Captain Coin Spill. :thinkingabout: :yes:

:poke: rofl Oh! And they were pull tabs by the way. :rolleyes:

[starman2]

:perfect10:! Good thing you went back to that park. Congrats on another great silver day. You're really kicking Butt! |:cheering:

[angellionel]

Those types of hunts are such fun! :happydance01: Very nice digs Tim. You need to go back to that site! :drool:

Oh yeah..... I know exactly what you mean. ;)

[Tony Two-Cent]

Maybe no grand slam this time, but I would take that TRIPLE any time! thumbsup01

Another great hunt, Tim! I love the photo of the Merc laying in the rich black soil. :smitten:

I wouldn't be surprised if there was more silver in that park!

That one wheat cent reminds me of one of the Indian Heads I found the other day. They both look like they have been impacted by a cylindrical object. Very similar imprints, weird.

Deep silver makes a person feel good knowing he or she is doing it right. WTG.

Yes it was a fun hunt :yes: A little slow in the middle but it ended with a bang! So I can't hardly complain :lipssealed: lol



Oh yeah..... I know exactly what you mean. ;)
:huh: Really! Is this something worth checking out on a normal basis? I guess what I mean is this usually a red :usaflag: sign to maybe dig and investigate? Thinking back I can remember the machine acting similar but not paying any mind to it. :thinkingabout:



Maybe no grand slam this time, but I would take that TRIPLE any time! thumbsup01
