    A Couple More After Work Hunts / Silvers, Indian & Tokens

    I stopped after work Wednesday and hunted one house for about an hour. I'm sure it's been detected before, but I was able to dig 1964 Rosie, an 1895 Indian, 9 wheats and a a Food Stamp credit token.

    Thursday, i met up with Zrickid for a couple of hours after work. I wasn't swinging more than five minutes when I got a one way squeaker at about 8". i dug the plug and pulled out a 1914 barber dime. 20 minutes later I thought i was digging a deep wheat when out pops a cool Pontiac token. After that the signals pretty much disappeared. All I had left was a narrow curb strip. I dug a 1944 Washington and just minutes later, a 1963 rosie. I also managed 10 more wheats.
