Well....I haven't posted here for a good 2 years but decided to do so encouraged by a buddy of mine since I did so well with finds over the weekend. So here goes.
Did stupid well on Silver this weekend and by stupid I mean I was called the Quarter Hoarder by my buddy since he didn't get any and for some reason I got them all. He kind of got tired of coming over and hearing the signals from them but at least he knows they were there and he had a chance at finding one at the sites we tried. All but one was 8"+ except with one being about 3" deep. Anyways....this was the reason I decided to post the finds. It's crazy sometimes how a person can hunt with someone else and if your looking to find specific items the other guy finds them.
Finds are from Southern Minnesota with most from Iowa.
Silver total was 19 for the weekend which is a crazy amount for public areas but I worked hard for it. 1 Barber Quarter dated 1909-D and 6 Washington along with 3 Barber Dimes (best being an 1897-S), 3 Merc's and 6 Roosevelt's. The Barber Quarter was accompanied by the 1917 Merc and the 1912 Barber Dime in one hole thus why those three look white...that was a fun hole to dig (another reason to post my finds).
Also dug were 2 Indian Heads, 28 Wheats (best was a 1913-D), 1 Canadian Penny, a No Cash Value Token, a 1959 Jefferson Nickel, a Religious Token, a 1952 2 Groschen Foreign Coin, a Captain Midnight Spinner Token and 2 25c Golden Flood Tokens. Buddy found the $1 and $5 of this token.
Misc. stuff included a few Keys, Pocket Knife, 1959 Dog Tag, a couple of Pins (favorite is the Oriental figure), couple of Buttons, a shot Bullet, an old Henry Casing, an old Watch, tube of Lip Stick and a Minnesota Weights & Measures Tag.
Well, that does it for the finds and hope everyone is doing well and hope you got out and made some great finds over the weekend. Thanks for looking and Best of Luck to you in the field. Silver King.
