And I'm the fool who hoped it was gold...
The first photo is the ring I dug at my friend Stoney's place last night. He lives around the corner from me and has a couple of acres and a 1947 house. This is the second ring I've dug at shallow depths there, and the second ring that I had high hopes for until looking at it more closely. The ring hit solidly 37-39 with the F75. The 1961-D rosie is silver #113 for me and the second silver coin I've found at Stoney's. 5" down, it hit 78-82 with the 5" coil. As good as the 11" is, I'm more impressed with that little sniper coil.
The next photo is of a little 50's style tag from Fleetwood Door in Michigan that I dug last week. A worthless relic valuewise, but I like the style and the way it looks. It was bent up pretty badly, but I was able to smooth it out pretty well. This one was with the F5. Depth read 4", but it was several inches deeper. It hit in the zinc range but slightly higher than the typical zincer, in the low to mid-60's.
The next two photos are my silver #112 and my second foreign silver. A 1944-P Netherlands 25 cents. Coincidentally (or maybe not) a late 1950's house right across the street from where I dug my first foreign silver from Australia.
The final photo is from the same yard and it's a common date 1963-D quarter, but one of nicest condition coins I've dug. I'd say a pretty good chance it was only handled once or twice before it was dropped. It had a little spotting, but a little lemon juice spiffed it up nice.
Thanks for looking!
