Hit the same old series of streets that have produced the last 5 times I have hunted there. Purely curb strips and in a neighborhood that I have harvested silver dimes, lots of Wheaties and an Indian Head Penny.

Today, my first hunt since coming back from my Hawaii "honey hole" stomping grounds :D I found my first "penny trifecta" of a 1956D wheat, 1963 copper and a 1906 IHP. Even though I created my trifecta over my 2 1/2 hour hunt they were all found today.

The U.M.C. .45 GOVT headstamped cartridge (supposedly it is a .45-70 round that is only stamped .45 GOVT) was a super neat find to find in a residential curb strip (circa 1870-1906)

The silver quarter was my second target of the day (first was what I thought was a ring but it wasn't). That makes 2 silver quarters in the space of 6 days and 3500 miles apart:laughing: (I found the other silver quarter on last Sunday in Hawaii).

Total finds were $2.99 but it was a wonderful morning and even better hunt from a historical perspective!!

HH all!!

WOW. I found the very same trifecta, except for the wheatie...mine was a 29s.
 
That detector sure has a lot of miles on her Paul. Congrats on another Silver Washington, the Penny trifecta, the Indian and a cool old Cartridge. Trapper
