I rarely hunt the turf and mainly hunt beaches, but since beach conditions haven't been very good in SoCal lately, I figured I'd dust off my Garrett PP and Lesche and do some dirt hunting with the Sov GT. The last few days I've been hunting a local park that shows good potential for some oldies. Yesterday I was pulling a lot of melted lead slag and random brass and copper parts, one part in particular is stamped "Pat. Aug. 14. 1928" and I have no idea what it is but I figure It must be old. So today I went back and I dig up an old looking tag that says "Standard Stations Inc" on the front and on the back is says "Americas Favorite Service Station System - Courtesy - Service - Cleanliness". Started getting dark and the mosquitoes were starting to come out so I decided to dig 1 last target and 3-4 inches down I pull a 1928 "S" Merc, my oldest silver coin found, and the only silver coin I've ever dug out of the dirt so far. Gonna definitely keep hitting up this park.
Thanks for Looking, HH!

I noticed he was wearing an "Orkin" pest control shirt. He wasn't on the clock just curious as to what I was doing, probably just got off work. Had to explain that I was looking for metal objects, not gophers. 
There is a lot of gopher holes though, hopefully they bring me up some shiny silver!
