A few days ago, I headed north to the big city with my detecting buddy, and we struck out. Lots of modern coins, but our first day of detecting with NO silver for either one of us!
That was discouraging, and I just couldn't let that stand, so later that evening I secured permission to detect a small front yard here in Ravalli County. The 1912-D Barber dime was a comforting find, glad to know I hadn't totally forgotten how to use my at pro!
Headed up solo today to try a different neighborhood, homes built mostly in the 1920's. Second target of the day was a Roosevelt Silver dime spill, two in the hole! Further up that curb strip, I found a 1943 Washington Quarter. There were lots of coins in this boulevard, many newer, but also some Wheaties. Thankfully it had not been hammered like the other area we had tried earlier.
Secured permission at a large corner lot home, and found many more Wheat Cents, a cool B.E. RWY CO. one fare token, some medallions, odd metal stuff, and 4 nice silver Mercury Dimes. Ended up with 7 silvers, 23 wheats, and a lot of copper memorials and clad nickels dimes and quarters. A fun day for sure!
