A few more evening hunts at the sweet spot this week yielded a '41 Merc and a '44 War nickel in addition to a few wheats. Things are wrapping up at this spot; if I get a chance I'll put some totals together and post a summary.
I got out tonight looking to get back into some of my usual spots. I headed to one of my best locations. I've hunted here some 40+ times over the past few summers. Sadly I was only there long enough to dig two dimes before I was asked to leave. The guy was very nice about it, indicating that they could not have all manner of folks digging on the grounds. I saw no point in arguing and took my leave. I'm not sure I won't go back again anyway only during some more off hours. After that disappointing event I wasn't sure where to go so I wound up trying one of those places Ive had in the back of my mind for some time. It was very quiet and peaceful which is just what I like. I picked a lousy signal to dig, it was ringing up as 12-15 and sounded a bit inconsistent and wonky.. I figured there was an off chance it would be a nickel and I wanted to see what the dirt was like anyway. It turned out to be a small silver cross (stamped beau-ster on the back). I know small silver will ring up low but this still surprised me. I hunted for another hour or so and wound up with a bit of clad, two wheats, and a '39 nickel. I'll certainly hit this spot again.
I'm hoping to get in some good hunts over the next two evening and the holiday weekend.
Happy hunting!
