Since we now have a 1/2 foot of snow on the ground, I figured I would post my finds from the last 3 weekends. All finds were made at public sites with my Minelab eTrac.
Surprise find was that diamond 925 silver ring. It pegs my electronic diamond tester after calibrating. It was a 12-40 signal found about 3 inches deep on on old playground/practice field area close to an old
school. I knew dirt had been moved around in that area but gave it a shot anyway. A 1939 Wheat penny was also found in the area.
The old Homecoming token was found in a very junky area. The other token is a Cascarets candy coated laxative token. I believe I found the older version which would put it somewhere shortly after the turn of the century. The 2 ringer bullet was found at the same site.
The 1899 barber dime was found in a pounded park and was 10+ inches deep. I dug a nail in the same hole which was very close to this dime. The 1917 merc dime was also found in the area and was 9-10 inches deep.
One of the 1939 quarters was part of a pocket spill with a 1954 silver dime and 2 wheat pennies in the same hole.
Hopefully winter is not here to stay.
Thanks for looking!
