I know that I have not been posting in a long while I have been super busy with work and haven't had allot of free time, but Today has been the most amazing day ever, I found something that I never ever thought I would find. I had today off of work and decided to his some parks within a 20 or 30 mile radius. at the first park I found 3 Indian head pennies 1882, 1891, and 1906. After detecting there for a couple of Hrs I decided to go to one of the parks that I found a 1935D half dollar. When I got to the park a tractor was going around and taking out small plugs to aerate the soil, so I couldn't hit the spot that I wanted to, so I moved to another spot. I was only detecting not event 5 Min's and got a signal at about 5" or so. I dug down and put my X-1 probe in and sounded like silver, so I carefully dug around with my knife and out popped a Merc dime. well I thought cool another merc. Well then I thought I saw the date 1916 and I thought that was cool cause the coin looked like it was in real good condition, then I flipped it over, and there was a mint mark, and it looked to be a D, I thought to myself there is no way I found a 1916D merc, let alone one that is in this great of shape, I looked at it closer, and sure as heck it was D mint marked. I still think that i am dreaming and I am going to wake up soon. The coin detail are EF to AU, it just has a frosty discoloring to it from the soil. I am going to send it in to be graded as soon as I can. The 1st pics are ones that I took with my crappy camera, and the next set is with a friends, who had an awesome camera. Well thanks for listening to my rambling.
P.S. I found it with my new Explorer 2 I just got a couple of weeks ago, and it already paid for its self.
P.s again, I cant dl my friend photos the files are too big, but I can email them if anyone wants a copy.
