I decided to detect my favorite lake here in Southern Oregon a couple days ago, and arrived at 7 am. The morning was a cool 48degrees, and beautiful, with the crystal clear water calm. I have detected this place heavily and its getting hard to find good coins now. Detecting most the day I had only found 3 wheat cents, a 41-S, 44-D, & a 48-D. At 8 hours in I got a 27/28 signal at 3" on my Nox 800, and wouldn't ya know, up popped a Mercury dime on my digger! Carefully removing a little mud I saw it was a 1940-D in excellent fine condition! About 5 pm I headed back to the truck to grab a bite to eat and put a little charge on the detector. I spent the rest of the day looking for more silver, but none was to come. My total for the day was $8.11 plus a couple little extras. At 7:30 pm these 70 year old bones were getting tired, so I headed them home!
