Beautiful Day, Thawed Ground = Indian Head, Mercs, Wheats

Yesterday was a perfect day for metal detecting. Bright sunshine, temps in the upper 50s, birds singing and very little wind. A welcome sight after the brutal winter we've had!
The ground was 100% thawed, it was like digging through butter. :smitten:

I tried two new sites but they were both pretty much a bust, although I did find an Indian Head at the first one. So, I ended up back at a park that I had hunted twice before a couple of years ago. At this park I found 7 wheat cents and 2 Mercury Dimes. It was good to finally get some silver this year.

Here are all of the coins I found:

And here are the keepers:

Here are the relics: part of an old pocket watch, metal buttons, rivet, big hunk of lead, and a buckle. The ceramic button was in the same hole with one of the metal buttons.

Great start to the year Tony and I'm envious you were finally able to get out. Gotta wait at least a few more weeks up here with a deep pack still on the ground. What were the range in years on your wheats?
