Today at about noon I opted to take a long drive to detect at a large field instead of hitting local parks. The site I had in mind is not very old, but I knew from a previous hunt that silver coins can still be found there, even if they are of the modern type.
Once there it was slow going at first, but eventually I got into a good groove and began to dig up old wheat cents and silver dimes. Most were Roosevelt dimes, but I wasn't complaining. After just over 5 1/2 hours of detecting I ended up leaving the site with 18 silver coins - 10 Roosevelt dimes, 6 mercury dimes, 1 Washington quarter, and 1 Kennedy silver half. I also dug up one large silver ring, but I neglected to take a photo.
HH!
