    A silver to break my slump & locket with a coin in it

    Oh the last month or more has been pretty slow for me. I have not detected quite as much as I typically do but even when I am out I still have had a tough time waving my coil over a silver or any old coins really. Even Wheaties have been hard to find.

    Last Friday I visited a spot I have pulled lots of silvers in the past and managed a 1964D rosie. I don't think I have been happier to find a 1964 Rosie before. Also found a small silver ring that day too. Found my 9th marble of the year, a 1903 V nik, and an Epilepsy Asso. Token.

    The previous week I visited an old park and managed a 1930 Buff and a couple Wheaties. I also found a small locket and when I saw it I thought that I would just save it til I got home to open it. I have found maybe 6-8 compacts over the last few years but they never have anything in them. But when I got home I opened it up and saw a 1919 wheatie in it....kinda cool! Would have been much cooler if they left me a barber dime or even a merc on the other side though.

    I have been out looking for morels this time of year so here are a couple pics for those of you who enjoy them too... My kids love trekking through the woods after these guys.
