Scored another Silver Quarter

Cheap Thrills

Active member
I've been back to the old school twice since my last trip there with my Granddaughter for a total of about 5+1/2 hrs. . Last night I gave the Nox a rest and took out the old M6 with a Detech 6x8 coil . My best finds where a Boy Scout Neckerchief slide with a wolf on it and 6 wheats .Other stuff was a few more foreign coins , 2 more of those Aluminum Shell Presidential tokens , a clad quarter , 9 copper Memorials and of course some trash .
Tonight I brought out the old Explorer SE with a 6x8 Detech coil on the last dig of the night I scored this 1940
Washington it was under several layers of some remaining Ivy roots and a real bear to dig up very close to another one of those Shell Presidential tokens . It was a really pleasant surprise and it was the first time I ever got silver after a backbreaking , deeper root dig , usually it turns out to be crap .Tonight's other finds
were a clad quarter, 2 wheats , 2 memorials , two more Shell tokens and an English 2 pence coin .
Here's some before and after pictures pictured of good old George .

Silver is always a good find! I really hate digging those presidential tokens because they sound like silver and even look like it when you first see them in the hole!
 
Nice score! Sometimes it’s nice to bring out one of your old detectors to play with.

Thanks Bucknut , it sure is !

Congrats on the silver quarter. Do you have a full set of the Shell Tokens yet? WD

Thanks FMD , I agree and this place is loaded with them ! :girlcry: I didn't dig one on todays 2hr. hunt though .



TODAYS HUNT


Today I used the Nox with the 6" Coil . I Dug all targets . Lots of junk ( not pictured ) but I actually found some targets ( more than I expected )

I added some pictures and everything but the Boy Scout Neckerchief slide was found on this hunt .The slide was from the other night but I thought it was so cool I'd post it with today's finds .
I added a silver dime to the pot today and all three pennies are Wheat . Got some Mexican coins too . I will be hunting this place as much as I can while it's available , it's a nice patch of ground and I believe there's a few ,more good items left .
