The weather has been terribly hot and humid the past few weeks. The cool down last weekend made it much more enjoyable to hunt.
All finds were found at public city parks, schools and one fairground the past few weeks with my XP Deus 2 machine. Hunts are from North Dakota and Minnesota.
A recent Saturday Minnesota hunt was a 5-silver day (see pic of coins in hand). One of the quarters and 2 of the silver dimes were 11+ inches deep.
I ran into a few large merchant tokens in 2 different towns. The $5 and one of the $1 tokens are unlisted.
Even though it isn't very old, I also posted a pic of a 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollar as they don't pop up often.
If anybody knows what that lead mystery item is, please let me know. It seems like my thumb fits on the top side of it so it may be part of an old tool.
The tiny silver PHS pin was a very deep target at an old school site.
Thanks for looking!
