Iiiiii
Ok , not exactly a tearout, but the closest I can find.
Stopped by the fairgrounds before I left for home Friday and noticed someone had disked up an area, probably for a tree line.
Decided what the heck, I'll hit it before I leave, so I got out and didn't walk ten paces in when I found a 35 wheat penny. Not long after I came across a 60 Washington. Thought I'd hit the motherlode !! Never found anything else in it but a bunch of 30-06 brass and some bullets. Found the 64 nickle and clad dime just out of the tearout. Sure was wishing that was a silver dime to make a nice set.
Came back yesterday and after it cooled down last night I went to an area in the racetrack I hadn't hit since last fall. found 4 wheat pennies, ( 11, 45, 46, and 51) before it got dark.
Decided to go back after I got done this morning and expand on the area. No luck for about half an hour and then suddenly, I got a good tone. Set my plug aside and checked it and had a good tone, and also still had a tone in the hole. Nothing in the plug, but I had sat it right on something. Found a 52 Washington in the hole and a 54 Rosie under the plug. After I got everything put away, I checked the area again and still had a signal, so I dug again and came up with a 39 Washington. MY first Silver Spill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . Man was I stoked !!!! Not too far away, I found a 42 wheat, then a little farther I got a good 20 vdi on my MXT which usually means a beavertail or a nickle. Turned out to be a nickel. 43 model, and I was surprised to see a P on the back. My first War nickle !!!!!! I was really surprised these don't ring up as silver. I thought they have silver in them.
All in all, one of my best hunts !!!!
