Headed back to Missoula, met my Nox 800 buddy from Helena at 11:00 am, only to see snow on the ground in Missoula! Found a newer ca 1930's neighborhood with little snow, and with warming temps into the 40's it was soon gone.
We started in on a curb strip that my 1950's reference map showed I had not detected yet, and also got a couple of permissions. My friend found a 1907-S Barber dime in the front yard of a 1930 bungalow, and I pulled a Silver Rosie from the curb strip. I did get the "DEPUTY MARSHALL" badge from that curb strip, along with lots of clad and copper pennies. Further down the curb strip I found a Mercury Dime, more wheat pennies, and other modern coins. Across the street my friend pulled a Silver Rosie, and more wheaties. We did get the OK at a nearby corner home, and my friend showed the amazing unmasking capabilities of the Nox by finding a Silver Washington Quarter in the same hole as a large buried coathanger!
We moved a couple of blocks east and got permission at a ca 1930 small corner home. While I was pulling wheatie after wheatie, my friend found a spill with 3 wheaties, a Silver Rosie, and a Merc Dime (making his dime trifecta for the day!) I ended up with two smaller non precious rings, and out of the curb strip a large fancy gold looking ring. Checked when I got home, it says 18K H G E (Heavy Gold Electroplate) - sad to say!
We ended up with lots of clad and copper cents, 52 wheat pennies between the two of us, 3 rings and total of 8 silvers. Cold and windy in the afternoon, but still productive, thanks for your interest!
