I wanted to get in some detecting today before the weather turns cold and was blessed with my first silver find! It is a 1935 quarter . I also found 5 wheats... a 1935, 1940S, 1941, 1942, and a 1958D. A couple spoons (plated) and a pocket knife. I guess that's not too bad for a couple hours.
The more I'm out there the more I learn. I had a funny thing happen today on my hunt. I got a good signal and it looked as though it was going to be a penny. I dug the signal and it disappeared! I checked the plug... nope not there... I checked the hole... not there either. I couldn't figure out where it went... until I picked up my shovel. There it was... a wheat penny stuck to the dirt on my shovel. Lesson learned... when you lose the signal... check your shovel. Have any of you had this happen to you? Man... I love this hobby!
