Beautiful day in the woods today, started out with temps in the 20s but warmed into the 40s. I hadn't found a coin at this homestead site in several years. Easy targets are long gone. I had dug a couple of small broken pewter buttons and a couple of .22 leads and was about to call it quits when I got a choppy mid conductor tone with a VDI bouncing in the 60s. I am thinking it's a button masked by a nail as that is really all I find at that site these days. I pinpointed and dug the nail. Swept the coil over the hole again and got the expected nonferrous signal, but it sounded a bit higher in tone this time. Was very happy to see a bit of silver in the hole !









This Capped Bust dime is my oldest US silver by a few years and appears to be in XF condition. Great way to end a hunt!
