I was kinda busy these last two weeks, but I was able to hit the fairgrounds again for two more silver coins (1964D quarter & 1964D dime), making the silver coin count there at 11. I also found a beat up piece of native jewelry, and 3 wheaties. They once held powwows in this area of the fairgrounds, but moved the location downtown next to a Buffalo Bill historic site years ago.
At first I thought the 64 dime was clad since it was scratched up and nearly a surface find, but checking it out later I saw that it was silver.
Last evening I went back to the old country club, and dug up a 1914D Barber, 1950D rosie, and a 1931D wheat. The Barber was around 6" down, the rosie about 4", but the wheat was a good 9" deep. I turned down the recovery speed on the 800 to 4 which really brought out some deep signals this time.
This morning several of us drove over to a ghost town north of us that was founded in 1911. Coal was the driving force there, but the mine closed in the 1940s with the last residents leaving in the mid 70s. I found some modern clad there, but the neat items were a bent 1955 50th anniversary token for 25 cents in merchandise from the local Stevens and Frybergers store, and the two parts to a child's tractor toy. It must have been big.
Thanks for looking, and HH!
