DIGGER27
In Memory Of
A short hunt today, bopping about my same old local park, the first signal I dug was a high tone which was a dog tag.
The first cool thing I come across is another Bama tax token in ok shape.
A good hunt right there, but more would be nice.
A bit later I dug a crumpled up piece of thick foil but something told me it was not normal can slaw but another 3 Merry Widows tin top and after getting it home and unfolding I found out I was right.
This park is loaded with these things, that makes 2 in two days.
Then I dug a weird little signal that bounced from iron to foil and usually I would have left it alone as trash but even trash doesn't act like this so I got curious.
Turns out it was this tiny, half as thin as a dime little elephant pendant.
I mean this thing is really thin.
Worth digging a hole just to get surprised.
Now I'm getting tired so I start heading home digging the more solid signals along the way.
Not many, but I come across this decent one that is in the can slaw area, could be maybe one of the larger beaver tail type tabs which is one of many kinds that live in this park.
It was solid enough and sounded good too so what the heck I am gonna dig it.
I open a hole and don't see nuthin' so I keep scraping dirt away and about 4" down I turn over some dirt and see a shiny rim and I know it is a silver dime.
Found a rosey in this same area a couple weeks back so I am thinking another one but nope...a 1945 merc.
No way would this come in so low so I stick the PP back in the hole and it goes off.
Reach my hand in a pull out some dirt and in that dirt is a nickel...1946.
A 70 year old pocket spill with silver so coooool!
That makes 10 silver coins FTY...on my way to a new record this year for sure.
A little nothing hunt turns into something pretty neat.
Guess I'm living the life of Riley.
