So last week my buddy Jeff sends me this link: https://www.wmcactionnews5.com/2021...-course-unearths-hidden-items-buried-decades/
So we went today knowing there would probably be other people detecting. I told my buddy I'm just going for the ride because I doubt we find anything. When we got there it was probably around 8:30 and someone was already detecting. It was a young guy with an Etrac. He said he didn't find any silver.
My buddy Jeff got the first silver a Merc within the first 20 minutes. My first find was a Wheat then a little later got a deep clad quarter I just knew was going to be silver but wasn't. A little later a had a sweet deep dime single and dug a 1907 Barber dime which was a nice surprise. My next deep coin about 100ft. away was another 1907 Barber dime. I was starting to think wow we are going to kill it. I got another Wheat or two, but soon realized coin signals were actually pretty scarce. As the morning wore on more people started to show up with detectors. We met some nice people detecting. A couple of guys we talked to had found two three ringers and one found a Barber dime.
In all there was like 8-10 people detecting throughout the day. My buddy ran and got us something to eat around noon and I kept hunting but found nothing before he got back. We ate in truck then got back at it. Right off the bat I got a solid 25 shallow signal and was thinking Memorial, but when I popped it out it was a Merc. It must have been on edge or had something close to it pulling down the I.D.. As I said coin signals turned out to be pretty scarce. I bet I didn't dig more than 10-12 coins in 6 hours of looking. I was really lucky to get on the three silver dimes I dug.
We never saw the guy in the news report. I am surprised the guy did not keep it quite. I have no clue what all he found or silver totals might have been. I know I would have liked to have been the first person out there detecting. I wonder if Beephead ever got out there?
