2 silver day!

[Explorer.se]

I was asking to get back out. It had been a while. I hit this park that I had never searched before and found the following:

7 wheaties - I can’t make out one date but the others were 2- 1929’s, 1937, 2- 1944’s and 1945. I did not find any of the ones from the 1950’s? Does that mean someone else was here and missed these deep ones? I also found a 1920 no mint mark Mercury dime. I had a pretty good outing. I only dug one copper penny. Do you guys know what that dumbbell looking thing is? I also found a nice unspent bullet. I gotta get back to this place again. Oh almost forgot - I found a 1945 war nickel with S mint mark. Thanks for looking.

Good way to start the year! The dumbell thingee looks like a leather goods rivet for a harness or similar.

Lol,,,, the spots I hunt have been detected hard for decades. I get excited about every wheat I dig. Not as excited as silver mind you,,,, but wheats do bring a smile.

Those could have been missed not because they were too deep, but maybe on angle, next to trash, or simply did not get over it… No matter the reason, you did good and it is definitely worth going back!
Anytime you find wheats is a very good sign in my opinion.

Yep, you hit the nail on the head. Alot of the silver dimes I hit sound like deep wheat pennies, so you have dig them as nearby iron or being really worn can drop the silver signal down to wheat penny range.
Because of this I still get excited when I run into deep wheat penny targets as they can lead to something else. I miss the days of a couple decades ago though when it was common to run into an open silver screamer.
That seldom happens now.

Thanks Dave I totally agree with you. I’m hoping to yank out an Indian head on my next trip. I still can’t make out the date on the toasted wheatie .

When I start finding Wheaties I know I'm in the right place for silver, set up the grids, set the coil as low as possible to the soil, swing at all angles possible and listen for those faint deep signals.
Two silver day with all that other good stuff is excellent in my world.

Thanks Still Looking yes I left the park very happy. I can’t wait to get back out there again. It will be at that park.
