On Saturday I put lots of miles on my car driving around trying to find new places to hunt. I think I spent too much time driving and not enough time detecting. :thumbsdown:
I tried three new sites with limited success. At the first park I found an 1882 Indian Head and a pocket spill of 5 wheat cents, then nothing else of note for the next two hours, so I moved on. At the second park I found several wheat cents and a 1946 Rosie. The Lion's Club was having a fish fry at one end of the park, so I kept my distance and limited my hunting to a small area. I may return to this park in the future.
Then later on Saturday I ended up back at the park where I found the Standing Liberty Quarter last weekend. At this park yesterday I found a 1913 Buffalo Nickel, a 1920 Mercury Dime and a 1946 Rosie.
Today I spent about 4 hours hunting at the park where I found 5 Indian Heads and the silver pilot's wings last weekend. Still no silver coins from this park, but I did find some decent old coins anyway. Today I found an 1873 and 1900 Indian Head, a 1907 V Nickel and a dateless Buffalo Nickel, plus 3 wheat cents.
Here are my keepers for the weekend:
This 1873 Indian Head filled a hole in my collection of metal detected Indian Heads:
(Open 3 variety, I believe.)
This 1882 Indian Head also filled a hole:
I wish the 1873 Indian Head was as nice as this 1900:
It seems like it has been forever since I found a V Nickel so this was a welcome sight today:
Two buffalos yesterday and one today. 1913 type II, 1917 and dateless:
All three silvers were found yesterday. (SDHOS today!)
Old aluminum thimble. It says, Cholerine for fowls. :dontknow:
I'm sitting at 97 Indian Heads for the year. I remember how amazed I was last year when JKress found 100 Indian Heads, and I remember thinking at the time that there was no way I'd ever find that many in a year. I guess I shouldn't have underestimated the abilities of the E-Trac. It will be fun trying to achieve that goal this year.
Thanks for looking and happy hunting, everyone! |:cheering:
