Went back today where I went yesterday, old childhood friends place. Moved to the front yard and game on!!! Still cold but wind not as strong.
Third signal I hit ended up a 43 Washington! Starting out like the day before but hoping maybe more coins. Hmmmm, careful what ya wish for…..
Front yard has a sidewalk down the (basically) middle to house, yard size combined maybe 50’ N/S and 40’ E/W. I was aware another detectorist was given permission early last spring but it was described as quick and gridded and nothing but bottle caps and no coins known recovered (buddy pretty much stayed with him).
On the one side I recovered 20+ wheats raging from 1917 to mid 50s. Two 20s, a couple 30s and the rest 40-50s. One penny ended up a 51 Canadian! Moved over to the other side and dug a couple more wheats and a 1953 Washington! I dont think I’ve had that much fun in a three hour period ever!!!! Buddy kept the wheats and let me have the two silvers (one I forgot to show him) but he didnt care, he was more interested in the old pennies!!!
Previous detectorist, we believe, runs a Nox800 and even if he was doing it quickly how the hell to you miss a total of nearly 30 wheats, a silver dime and two silver quarters? Granted it took me six hours to do what he did in 2.5 hrs but we havent even hit the back yard yet either! Seeing as the yard was loaded with wheats I wonder if the yard had been hit before and buddy didnt know it (his Mom passed in 2019 and lived on the house until 201
. I’ve never had so much fun digging signals……..Also pulled a super small padlock and some type of a foot or pull (top of photo) that has a slight greenish patina and heavy for its size.
