Finally got out yesterday:

[Nancy-IL]

[size=medium]Larry and I went out detecting for a short time before getting too cold. I had a "hunch" about a place so we took off in the truck with detectors in the back. My first hit was an wheat cent so I knew this was going to be a good place. Second hit was the 1918-S dime. I came home with5 wheats, silver, junk ring, Tootsie Toy Roadster and a pin that says "Bring One". Strange??? Had a great time and can't wait to go back. Thanks for looking. Nancy [/size]

It sounds like you had fun and got some decent things too..........You do well with your MXt and I truly enjoy your posts.

Haven't seen your post for a while, I'm glad you had some fun. I'm alway jealous that you and Larry can detect together. Paulette can't physically do it. Rob

[size=medium]Thank you and I've been out once in a while, but just haven't posted. Guess I've needed a break from here. Plus I sprained my ankle and had a hairline fracture. OUCH! Just now starting to be able to bend it while digging those treasures out of the dirt. I'll try to be better at posting. I love to read about the finds of everyone too.
Happy hunting to all. [/size]

Have you checked that dime out to see if it has any value besides
its historical value?

[size=medium]Robert, that's usually one of the first things we do when we wash the dirt off and it's doesn't have any great value. Basically a $3 dime. Wonder how much that would have bought back in 1918? A lot of flour, I'm sure. Thanks, Nancy [/size]
