Hey everyone, got out for a few hours yesterday back to the park I hit the barber spill in. It didnt disappoint, found a bunch more wheats and 3 mercs, 2 of which came from the San Francisco mint. Today I traveled to Holyoke to hunt a friends front yard, he just moved into this place a couple months back, and he hasnt even had time to finish it up. His first hunt there was Saturday and he pulled 5 silver's out. His house was built in 1909, big old corner lot too. After a couple of copper memorials, I get a good quarter signal, and from about 4" down, I pull out my first set of sterling military wings! Been waiting some time for my set and I finally got them! After that, I hit a few wheats and finally a merc which was my 3rd 1935 merc in the last 3 hunts. Continued for 2 hours or so and only managed a couple more wheats, so we moved to another permission he has down the street that he has never hunted before. 1892 this time. Got a big goose egg at that property, must have had some fill put in at some point, just could not find any oldies, and the zinc pennies were 6"+. So we both decided to call it for the day. It was a nice change from the thick trashy woods I've been hunting the last few weeks, and I left with a bucketlister, win=win! I ended up breaking the pin off while cleaning, but its already super glued back together, I might put this piece in a display with some other WW2 era finds. Hoping to get out for a few hours tomorrow, we'll see, until next time, thanks for looking and happy hunting!
