    A couple of bucket listers for me

    Started out hunting in a local park yesterday and still trying to learn the CTX. A lot of trash in the park and trying to pick good. So I'm doing well, getting some clad when I get a signal right on the edge of the gravel path showing about 5'' down, dig it out and I have my second ever Indian head! A 1903! I was very pumped about that!
    So later in the day, I went over to a house that is a few doors down from me to hunt. He had given me permission to hunt there. Older house is all I know. Any way I get started on the curb strip and my second target turned out to be a 1883 Indian head! Two in one day! Awesome! Too bad it was bent a bit because it has great detail but oh well. Next I got some kind of thing that says Rhode Island on the front. Now I start working the front yard and there is a carpet of nails in it but I try anyway. Get a hit that says dig me so I did and dug up 4 wheats, a 49 Jefferson, and a 1930 buffalo nickel! My first buff! I ended up digging 4 more wheaties for 8 total. A 1910, 20, 27, 34, 40, 44D, 51D 53D. Also found an old clover harmonica, a skeleton key, and a token that commemorates the 15th annual excursion May 31 - June 5 1915. So it was a good day.
    Tonight I was out to the house behind me and the nails were even worse. Did end up with a civil war token from 1864. My first civil war relic. Still can't seem to find the silver. Has to be here! Thanks for reading

    Thanks GA1. I've hunted hard for that coin. Had a 49 Jefferson in the hole along with some wheats as early as 1910. Just can't find silver in that yard
