Today I spent some time searching for the camera I lost yesterday, but I did not have success finding it. I guess I will have to give it up as truly lost. Not wanting to waste any more time, I then headed to a small park in Connecticut. When I arrived I saw that the grass had not yet been mowed, so I began detecting the outer edges of the park. Soon, though, a park worker arrived with the heavy machinery and began mowing the grass. :clapping: I now could work the desired areas. :smitten:
I picked up a couple of old wheat cents before hitting on what sounded like a deep target. I worked the coil over the target, trying to pinpoint its location, which was made difficult by the shallower trash. I thought I would be digging up a wheat cent, but instead out pops a 1864 2-Cent piece. :happydance01: It's my 5th 2-Center this year. :happydance01:
I was now fully concentrating on my hunt, and in the end I had five silver coins - four Barber dimes, dated 1900, 1905, 1914, and 1916-S, and one mercury dime, dated 1920.
I also picked up five Indian Head cents and seven wheat cents. My Indian Head cent count for the year now stands at 94. :happydance01:
Have a fun weekend everyone!
