Hour hunt at 1919 permission. Ground was rock-hard and I didn't dig any iffy signals because the grounds of this property are meticulously cared for. I have an open invitation to hunt there anytime. Chatted up the neighbor who said his place was built on 1910 and have open permission there too. Told him I'd be back when we get some rain and it cools off a bit. I'll certainly be digging more holes when the ground's not like concrete.
I honestly only dug about 5 holes where I got nice repeatable high-tone signals.
I dug two clad quarters along the driveway and then chiseled this out of the earth:

So I just learned that starting in 1925, stander's have their date below (lower than) the rim. That's why if you find one 1925 or later, there's a better chance of the date being there vs. earlier dates.

I should also mention that this was the first silver coin that I dug with my AT Pro.

She's a beauty alright. I just broke my silver dry spell too. I dug 40 wheat pennies in three and a half days before I finally got a 1964 dime. Forty wheat's without a silver is my longest wheat count before hitting a silver. If I remember right, my longest before was 22 wheat's without a silver.
HH everyone
