Alec and I headed out to Davenport, Iowa this morning to participate in a group hunt.
After we registered we had about an hour and a half to detect on our own. Signals were scarce, I think only 3 good coins were dug during the open hunting. I got one good signal, a solid 12-13 at 7 inches.Thought for sure I had at least a Buff. Fortunately I was wrong. I pulled out a very nice 10K class ring. A 1978. ( I knew if I keep digging all those nickel signals, I would eventually find Gold. )
Then in the afternoon, they had 2 seeded hunts. Not very challenging, but still a lot of fun. Alec dug 10 silvers and I dug 11.
We each got a Walker. We also dug a boat load of clad. Hey, I also won a Mine Lab canteen, flash light and a Fisher hat in the raffle.
On the way home, we decided to stop and find an old house to detect. The first house I asked said yes.
My first good find was a 25 cent trade token. Then about 20 minutes later i dug a 1944 merc.
Alec slept in the car!!! LOL
Ended up being a good day
I only added the one merc to our silver count. The seeded silvers don't count .
