I was able to get in three hunts these three days. Friday was a good start. I picked up four Indian Head cents, a 1923 buffalo nickel and two mercury dimes.
On Saturday I met up with John (midas) to hit an old site we initially thought we would have access to, but once there we were disappointed to find that the place was being used for an all day event. Bummer! :bangshead02: We then settled on hitting a few nearby locations, but the finds were sparse. :crying02: We had a good lunch though. :cheesysmile:
Today was a different story. I took a very long drive - over a hundred miles - to detect at one park I had on my list from last year. It paid off, as I made up for Saturday's lack of silver, scoring with a total of six - a 1893 Barber quarter, two Barber dimes, dated 1901-O and 1906, a 1920 mercury dime, a 1952-D Roosevelt, and a beautiful 1877-CC seated dime. :drool:
But silver was not the only sweetness the park yielded. :happydance01: I also picked up six large coppers. One is a Draped Bust large cent, but I haven't attempted to remove the soil from the obverse to try and make out a date. The reverse looks fine though. One of the coppers is a Canadian large cent, though details are lacking. The other four coppers are dated 1848, 1848, 1851, and 1853.
The park was even more giving, yielding fourteen Indian Head cents and nineteen old wheat cents. :smitten:
I do not know what this one is.
I can make out 'Edward' around the edge. :thinkingabout:
Some of the other finds. :cheesysmile: The ring is silver. :yes:
HH!
