Pouring Down Rain Pictures Of Finds

beephead · Apr 12, 2020

It's raining so I thought I'd post some pictures of my recent finds. On the silver finds I was pretty sure that they were going to be silver except for the sterling ring, it ID just a little lower than a zinc penny. 150+ modern coins, 26 wheat pennies, 60+ trash targets, a couple of Rosie dimes, a couple of Mercury dimes and a tiny sterling ring. All that with a little help from Advil. I just can't dig as much as I did just a few years back.

BTW, the reason the MXT found more is only because I used it first on the sites because it pinpoints better and faster than the CTX 3030. The MXT with the smaller search coil didn't detect the last silver coin. The CTX just barely got a signal on it. It was a little deeper than the others and maybe a little on edge.

Great finds. Looks like the amount I get in 5 hunts.

Thanks! I need to learn to pace myself better. If I'm not finding anything, I keep right on detecting until I do and if I'm finding stuff, I don't want to quit.

That's a good ratio of wheats and silvers to your modern coinage. Must be some good ground. Seems like lately i have to dig about 100 pennies to get 1 wheat!

ooooooh. I like that silver ring. Makes me wonder what was in the Carbachon holder!

Coins on edge are always a little skitchy. I'm sure I've missed more than a few, simply because of the direction of swing.

Cool finds, thanks for Sharing, Beephead!

Thanks! I would have been looking really hard for the missing stone if the ring had been gold.

Thanks! Last week or so I found 55 wheat pennies in a really small front yard, but I only managed to find 4 or 5 silver coins.

Man Beep. Some purdy silver finds and pics to do them all justice! Super enjoyed, thank you and congrats!

Great hunt Gerald, I know you said the last couple hunts, but was ut all on the same property?

Looks like you had nearly the full arsenal out there, lol

Holy Moly, that is a lot of digging! You are inspiring me to be less selective and start digging more targets. Out of all those coins, is that all of the "junk" at the bottom that you dug during the same time period?!?

Congrats Beep! nice digging, glad you can get out!
