Seasonal allergies – they drive me nuts! I was sneezing up a storm at the office today, despite the fact that I was all drugged up, so I left early to get some needed rest. After a two hour nap, I had the urge to do some detecting, so I grabbed my gear and headed out the door. Pollen or no pollen, I needed to swing the coil. 
The weather was beautiful, with a cool and stiff breeze, which thankfully kept the insects at bay. I decided to work an area I've been saving for a Spring day, since it's mostly overgrown during the summer. I carefully detected the ground near the pond that is located at the site, a hilly area where one false step could have me swimming with my detector. The effort was worth it though. I scored with some silver and a few other cool stuff.
During the summer it's much too difficult to properly work this area. Not today though.
After finding two badly corroded wheaties, I came across this 1920 merc.
I had to do a balancing act while digging up this 1951 sterling silver ring, since it was a bit deep.
Another mercury dime, dated 1942.
This was a sweet surprise. I found it while heading out to get something to drink.
I love finding the wartime nickels, and today I scored with two nice ones dated 1944-P and 1944-S.
A 1929 buffalo nickel. It's in very good shape.
This one didn't fare too well. I can't make out a date.
A nice 1941 Jefferson nickel.
This toy gun sure looks old.
A small religious medal.
Two toy cars.
A woman's lipstick tube.
And last, a key.
HH!
