John (midas) and I headed out this morning to detect at a local park. We concentrated our efforts on one of the fields where the ground has thawed out enough to allow digging. In the afternoon we met up with another member, Tim (MassDirtFisher). He was busy working his XLT detecting an area closer to one of the roads. Eventually we introduced ourselves and had a nice chat. It's always great to be able to meet up with other forum members.

Here is John with both his Spectra V3 and the Minelab XTerra70. He wasn't taking any chances on missing anything.




I managed to dig up eight silver coins, two Barber dimes, dated 1903-O and 1907, two mercury dimes, dated 1941 and 1942, and four Roosevelt dimes, dated 1946, 1946, 1949, and 1949-D. No large silver, but maybe next time.




Here is the 1903-O Barber dime while still encased in soil.




I picked up a few wheat cents too.




Spring can't arrive soon enough!

HH!
