They were kind enough to give me 2 weeks off from work so I was able to do a few of my favorite things:golf and detect. I was most happy with the 1961 rosie (who's face I gouged up due to digging in bone-dry soil) and the 1928 merc. I got both on a sliding hill at a pounded park 2 miles from my house. I dug both of them on the steepest part of the hill, which is the first place I go whenever I hunt. It seems like that's the area no one seems to bother with, because it's harder to detect, I guess. Then I went across the street to the high school and found the half of the spoon (or fork) on the side of another steep hill. Didn't find the other half. It's not marked sterling, but it definitely is silver and is about 4" long with "1905" engraved on the front and some initials on the back. The high school and park cover MANY acres so I'll be back when it's under 90 degrees. The nickel is 1939 and the thistle flower looks like a watch fob. It just amazes me that no matter how pounded a place is or how many times you go over the same area something is always there to be found. (Please excuse the last 3 photos, don't know how that happened!!)
