Got out on Friday and Saturday, had two great days.

Found a combined 5 silver coins which included my first dug silver half and war nickle. Another cool find was an eyeball surface Merc! Couldn't believe it.

1931 S Merc
1942 S War Nickle
1944 Walking Half
1946 D Rosie
1952 D Rosie

Also found a .925 ring and a charm bracelet with several sterling pendants on it. Chain is a complete mess and is basically a rust ball. One of the charms fell off while I was digging it. That charm has a picture of Mount Vernon and the other charm still attached says Painted Desert and there is a sterling cowboy boot. All charms say Sterling on them.

Also got a 1906 IH and 23 Wheats.

Everything came out of a park.
The half was on edge and sounded like a copper penny 11-44/12-44. Best signal I could get on it was 12-45. I have found one clad half and that thing was screaming. So I was really excited to find it.

The war nickel rang in as 21-41, all directions. I hadn't dug anything for 15min so I just wanted to retrieve a target. I was shocked to get it. I hadn't found a war nickel but had done some tests in my yard with one I had found in my change. 21-41 was not what I was seeing in my yard, so again I was surprised. Also there were no other targets in the hole to mask the signal.
