Late this morning I headed out to detect for just two hours seeing as I had a few other things to take care of in the afternoon, but time tends to pass you by when you are having fun; I ended up detecting for 3 1/2 hours. lol

The field I worked is short on targets, but I did manage to score with silver, as well as with a few wheat cents, two old buttons, and other miscellaneous items.

The six silver dimes made for a sweet hunt. One of the mercury dimes has been cut nearly in half though. The seated dime was a sweet surprise, as was the Barber dime. The dimes are dated 1851, 1906-D, 1939, 1941, 1944-D, and 1948.

The seated dime has very good detail but it has been banged up a bit around the edge.

I did find a few more wheat cents after taking this photo. These two are the oldest though. The other items are buttons.

The rest of the stuff - trash, bullets, and clad coins.

The field at the park I hit offered plenty of detecting space, but targets tend to be few.

Hey look... you got a silver half dime today. lol ... so did I. :yes:
Congrats Angel.
 
Sheesh... Looks like someone was run through a wood chipper with a pocket full of silver! Glad to see you back in action again!!!
 
Awesome grand slam Angel! I like that seated; it's got character... :)

I'm surprised you seem to dig few wheats in comparison with your silver. Do you ever intentionally pass lower wheat tones or is it just the location?

And I always like the chopped silver, especially if you can find the other half! We get a whole lot of chopped wheats and silver over here in CA, especially around LA.
 
Thanks everyone! :beerbuddy:

Thanks Jayson!

I don't pass up wheat cents, actually. I do dig low tones, and I do enjoy finding wheat cents, so I definitely dig them up. It has been a case of location primarily. :yes:
