I had a chance to do a quick hunt up in the big city, so spent a few hours there on Friday and got about 22 wheat pennies, some clad, a Silver Rosie and a 1942 Merc Dime.
The following day, Saturday, I met my friend from Helena (Nox 800) and we spent a good part of the day detecting in some great weather conditions. My neck was a bit sore afterwards so will probably take it easy for at least a few days!
I did get us permission at a ca 1910 home with a large corner lot. My friend started off the finds with a nice condition 1900 Indian Head Cent, and a 1915 Buffalo Nickel. My side of the yard was producing wheat pennies and a nice 1887 Indian Head Cent, until I hit a small area near the street sidewalk that produced 3 Mercury Dimes. I did get my 4th Silver there, a 1959 Rosie, along with clad and wheaties. A couple of the wheat pennies were a bit better dates, a 1913-D and a 1915-S. My friend found the cool ca 1920's metal rotary dial finger pull from the Automatic Electric Company, first one of those I've seen detected!
We then took a break for a late lunch, and back to detecting in another area of town. This time it was my friend's time to "shine" as he pulled 5 Silvers out of a couple of yards... a Standing Liberty Quarter, Silver GW, a Merc and a couple of Silver Rosies. My yard had a whole bunch of wheat pennies and copper Memorials but no shiny. First two pics show my finds, last two pics show my friends best finds. All in all a good day for us both, thanks for your interest!
