I Haven't Been Detecting In Weeks

beephead · Jul 25, 2017

I've been sidelined for awhile because it has been just too darn hot and my knee has been giving me some problems. I couldn't take not detecting any longer so I popped a Aleve and headed out early this morning to beat the heat. After I got warmed up and sweating like crazy my knee finally loosened up some.

I hit few different sites but the last one produced the most. It was a mid-fifties home with a really steep sloping front yard. I ended the day with 4 silver Rosie dimes, 9 wheat pennies and few clad coins. I sure can't wait until Fall gets here and brings us some cooler temperatures.

The King of Rosies makes a triumphant return! Nice haul.

I got in a couple late evening digs the last couple weeks, but that's it. Too hot and ground too hard. Hoping for rain and cooler temps starting Friday.

Great job with the finds! If you are able to hunt the property again that has the sloping front yard, I'd hit the bottom of that slope hard. I'd bet that kids sledged and rolled down that hill plenty of times with pockets full of coins.

I hope your knee feels better soon.

Congrats on the slivers & wheaties! Those Rosie's sure cleaned up nice. :detector:

You and me both! I am so excited for fall already. It's going to be awesome to not have sweat running down my forearms, LOL! Plus my AT-MAX should be here (it better be!).

Great hunt! I am seriously jealous of all these Rosie dimes! When am I going to get one? :?:

Sweet

How cool is that, finding Rosies on a hot day. Congrates. I'm 72 and am out there 4 days a week in the 100+ weather. I drink a lot of water and go slow. I sold my Deus, I didn't like it. I love my ATPro.
HH everyone

Way to get back out there and find some silver. Congrats!

Nice finds! I've been finding all of my silver at 50's homes lately it seems. The really old places haven't been giving up anything to me!

Very nice!!!

Congratulations on getting out in the heat.
you know, you could always drive north...

Congrats! 4 nice Rosies there and good for you for getting back out there. Sometimes the bug is stronger than the pain it seems (and I'm sure the Aleve helped..)

Glad you are back in action!

Dude you suck the silver out of the ground for sure! Congrats!

I got out Sunday and it feels like eons since I've gotten out

Will go for a bit before work tomorrow and on my lunch hour too!

Thanks! At least the ground was soft from recent rains.

Thanks! The bottom of the hill is were I always start. Another good spot is at the top of the hill where the slope begins. People like to sit there.

Thanks! Our ground is kind to silver but eats up Wheaties.

Thanks! I don't get really fired up until it cools down.

Thanks! Lots of silver is lost at those fifties homes.

Thanks! I wasn't expecting to find much with the way my knee was hurting.

Thanks! I won't be long before the people will be wanting to drive south.

Thanks! The Aleve seems to be better than Advil. I always buy the generic.

Thanks! I hope that it's nothing serious with my knee. I starting to feel a whole better since my wife set me an appointment to get it looked at next week.

Thanks! Having good sites to detect sure helps.
