I had another good weekend, scoring well with silver and a few other old coins. I did not find any silver on Saturday, though I did dig up three old nickels and an Indian Head cent. The nickels are dated 1898, 1913, and 1936. The Indian Head is dated 1898.
I met up with midas early this morning to detect at a town common, the same one we had worked last Sunday. This time I managed to dig up 12 silver coins, two dated in the 1800s. I also found a large cent and a Indian Head cent.
This 1883 Canadian 5 Cent Silver Fishscale was my fourth silver coin during today's hunt, making it my 500th silver coin of the year. At first I thought it was a U.S. half dime sticking out of the mound of soil. This one is just as sweet though. :yes:
Not far from where I found the large cent I dug up this beauty - a 1877-S Seated quarter. :happydance01: It was a good 9 1/2 inches deep.
And here is the total silver loot - twelve coins. The mercury dimes are dated 1934-D, 1936, 1937, 1939, and 1943.
The large cent is sticking out slightly from the soil. I haven't been able to make out a date.
I also dug up 22 wheat cents and one Indian Head cent dated 1898.
My Gray Ghost headphones had recently broken on one side while I was out detecting. I didn't have a spare, so out comes the duct tape.:lol: The other side then broke off at another recent hunt. :shocked01: I again used duct tape and then ordered a Killer Bees Hornet from midas. I used the new headphones during this weekend's hunts. :thumbsup01:
HH!

Those are sad looking Grey Ghost headphones.

As far as the 500 silvers.... what a nice coin to get you there. Great looking Canadian and in nice shape too :clapping: Congrats on that milestone. I bet you never figured you would hit that so soon. And as usual a stellar looking large cent :yes: :lol:
