This morning I got up before dawn with plans to get an early start at the park I had so much success at last weekend. Last Sunday I found 5 Indian Heads and 2 Barber Dimes there. Today wasn't so productive though, I only found 1 Indian Head and 5 wheat cents in 4 hours. (Plus lots of clad.) I did, however, find what may be my first crotal bell. It produced a signal like an Indian Head and was about 7" deep. I don't know anything about them, but if it is a crotal bell it is a small one.
After not finding much at the park I decided to drive to my in-laws house where I found the SLQ on Easter Sunday. My in-laws were glad to see me and encouraged me to hunt all I wanted in their yard. No SLQ this time but I did find 2 Indian Heads, 2 Mercury Dimes, 1 Rosie and several wheat cents. Their yard is loaded with wheat cents, after a while I started ignoring them because I didn't want to dig that many plugs in their yard. I quit at about 3:00 p.m. with lots of area yet to be detected. I'll save it for another day.
All-in-all it was a decent day of detecting. I got silver number 50 for the year which was the 1945 Mercury Dime.
Here are today's keepers:
Three Indian Heads today. The beat up 1900 came from the park, and the 1905 and 1908 came from my in-laws' yard.
The 1908 Indian Head was in OK shape:
14 Wheat Cents today:
Today's silver, no mint marks on any of them:
I found this tiny little silver item in my in-laws yard. It isn't marked but it definitely is silver. I guess it might be a hair barette?
Here's the bell I found in the park. If it is a crotal bell it's my first one. It still jingles!
These two presidential tokens were in the same hole:
Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

You are doing quite well with the silver, and the Indian Head cents as well! That crotal bell is in great shape.
