It's been a long time since I've gone as far a April to find a silver coin in a new year. I was headed out in the morning to my brothers house and on the way I happened to notice some fresh dirt on the way, I told him about it when I got there and we decided to go there. It was probably a 1930's house that use to be there, there were already quite a few holes dug there too but whatever they were digging for they didn't seem to recover any of the big deep targets they were after. I asked one of the people across the street if it was city owned and they said yes. My brother managed to get a shiny silver Washington and seven wheats and a lot of odds and ends. Here's all the stuff that I got.
The locket was actually the back part of the pendant, they were about 6 inches apart. The marble was a fun find digging some junk.
I've never seen anything like this before, it almost looks like it's some sort of buckle.
Both of the buffs were in the same hole along with 5 of the wheats
I was really pleased with the condition of this merc and when I found it I happened to notice some good looking detail hiding so I didn't even bother trying to remove any dirt, I like those surprise dates on coins anyway.

on all your keepers and for hitting that fresh dirt.
I'm glad that it is finally thawed out enough to hunt up your way. 
the merc is a sharp coin and buffaloes are in nice shape too.
