lol Yeah, there's this empty lot a block away from me that I've been hitting since last year. I've found some cool things along with some clad and a bunch of wheat pennies, even a totally rusted .38 revolver!! Well, I kept saying to myself that there has to be a silver in there somewhere and yesterday I found one... a 1925 Mercury dime! Oh yeah!! :happydance01:
So, on a side story, I've been telling the next door neighbor about my cool finds for a while now, and he and his son have been wanting to try the hobby. I gave the guy's kid my first detector, a Bounty Hunter Discovery 1100, and one of those starter pin-pointers they throw in. On Monday he had me over to check out his yard. I showed the kid how to use the detector and how to cut a plug and all that and away we went. I used my gear and found the 1953 CT license plate tag and the 1941 wheat penny. I also took a photo of him with the first coin he found, a clad dime. He was sure happy.
Thanks for looking and happy hunting! :groovy:
