Hunts On June 12th & June 13th
Doug, Diane and I got out on Sunday afternoon, for a couple of hours we met at a park where we have talked about detecting the old sledding hill, after finding nothing but clad we decided to try another place that has given up some keepers in the past. Doug scored a very nice 1916 Barber Dime within the first ten minutes, it was amazing you would have had to hear how “crappy” this signal was but there was just enough of a high tone to make it interesting so he dug it. And he was rewarded with the Barber dime. That is what makes him such a good detectorist he seems to have the knack of being able to squeak out those good signals in all the garbage. Later on he got a Buffalo that turned out to be a 1927. Diane and I just got clad and I got a Milk Bone dog tag that was interesting. Monday Diane and I took advantage of a nice morning and went to an area that used to be a park back in the 1800’s we spent most of the morning digging deep copper memorials which was disappointing. A little later on I got a very nice 1946 Jefferson Nickel it was so clean I at first thought it was going to be a war nickel because I could see the 194 and the rest was covered in dirt but alas it was not. About twenty minutes later I got a rather crummy signal but taking a lesson from Doug I heard just enough of a high tone to make it diggable. Under a root near a very large tree out popped a 1957 Rosey. Later on I made a very nice eyeball find, a Kershaw Speedsafe knife. Checking the website I see that this model sells for $58.99 so not a bad find at all.

It's really nice to just go detecting and dig some holes :clapping:
