Found 44 Old Coins Today

[bgscofield6]

Today was just one of those days. I met up with Tony around 9am. We hunted maybe 30-45min before the rain started coming down pretty hard. Tony was having some detector troubles. So we went out to get some tape, new earbuds, and some food. It was probably close to 1 before we got back out there again to really do any damage. Then hunted for 2 hours and then it rained again for another hour. Then we detected for a few more hours after that. His detector would work for a bit, then stop, then repeat.

I honestly believe I could have broken 50 wheats today had it not rained for about half of our detecting time. Basically everything I dug today was old. I'm still in shock about how many wheats I found!

Total Finds:
1 Indian Head (1896)
37 Wheats
1 Silver Roosevelt Dime
5 Mercury Dimes (1918D, 1920, 1942, 1943, 1943D)
Gold-Plated pin with an "h" on it

I love sites like that! I remember at one park last year, I managed 55 wheats, all from a 60 x 70 ft area, and only 1 silver out of the whole bunch.

I averaged about 4.5 wheaties per silver coin last year. On some of those days, I had way more wheats than silver, and other days same # of wheats as silver.

Congrats!
