    Not There Yet

    I posted the other day but somehow not in the topic folder I intended....

    http://www.americandetectorist.com/f...p?topic=5340.0

    I don't suppose it matters too much, but it sure had me confused for a minute. Not sure if it's worth moving.

    Anyway, I got out last night for a little while in some VERY windy weather. I headed to the spot I received permission to hunt this winter. To give up some of the mystery - it's a private school, built around the middle of the last century, and in an area that was farmland on a main street before that. Like the last hunt there, targets were not excessive but they were regular enough to keep me interested. I wound up with 48 coins total worth $2.61. Five of them were wheats, which makes nine total in two hunts. Nine wheats in two hunts makes me thing there MUST be a silver Rosie or two there somewhere. Other finds included a large Sunocco token, an bullet casing, a buckle, an odd looking button, a junk ring, and a small silver ring. The silver ring, though it's not much, made my evening. I look forward to getting back to this spot to hopefully find the good stuff I suspect might be there.

    Happy hunting!

    I'm in agreement with Carver, silver lurks about. I will gladly take 9 wheats anyday.

    Another nice hunt Z. Sounds like your new spot has quite a bit of potential.
    Great bunch of wheats.
    I think your hunch is right... gotta be silver there somewhere. Bet there's Mercs around.
    Nice looking silver ring too. Congrats.

    Nice! The ring in very nice. I found a Sunnocco token last year. What do you suppose the object is that is about the size of a nickel, with a bar across the center. Both I and my hunting partner have found one of those.
