Thread: Early March Silver

    Early March Silver

    Yesterday I spent some time working the field of a local park and picked up one silver Roosevelt dime as well as several wheat cents.




    With the warmer weather we have been having lately I figured it might be worth it to give one of the Connecticut parks a try, so today I headed out to one I had frequented the latter part of last year. The day was beautiful with the temperature in the low 50's. It sure made for a relaxing time swinging the coil. I managed to dig up five silver dimes, one Barber, dated 1906, three mercs, dated 1919, 1920-S, and 1937-D, and a Rosie, dated 1959.




    I dug up plenty of clad too, as well as fourteen wheat cents.




    Now my machine is in need of a good cleaning.



    HH!

    for a minute, when I first started to read your post, I thought you only found that lone Roosevelt. I was all ready to razz you until I scrolled down Nice 1919 Mercury and 1906 Barber. If I were you I'd stick to Connecticut A very good hunt and it must have felt really good to detect without 3 layers of clothes

    MA parks have been good to me too.

    It did feel good to not have so many layers on, and in fact I did have to take off the hoodie and a pullover as it was too warm to have them on.

    I had to check since I had not updated my log since January. So far I have 43. I may have to revise my goal for the year.

    What did you do to that E-trac... give it a mud bath?

    Very nice silver, and I really like the barber That park just never quits giving up silver for you. Beautiful start to the year.

    George, he told me he had five shirts and a pullover on that day with you and Dan I'm surprised you got him out in the snow that day

    That's the sign of a machine hard at work. I would be more concerned if it didn't have a speck of dust on it.

    Actually, I felt more like a burrito.
