Got out for 2 hours to my old faithful field

[GoGoGopher]

Went out today while the temperature was down and the wind was nice and cool for about 2 hours...Found $3.43 in clad...missed Silver by one year yet again (1965 Quarter)...I think this field must have been worked over around 1965-1970, seems to be a lot of coins in that range in this field, but very little silver...I am finding a lot of those tokens, as they just finished a yearly carnival in the field 2 weekends ago...I kept the butterfly which appears to be stainless with enamel paint, and the rivet top just to show someone how small of an item the BH Land Star can find with the 4" coil...The rivet is a little over 1/4" in diameter. Also found my usual pound of pull tabs and screw caps...The Butterfly rang in as a dime...loud and proud...the rivet rang as zinc for some reason...I thought that was weird, as it appears to be steel.

HH,

The rivot could have been galvanized, which would make sense why it was reading zinc.

Youre probably right about the cherry picking. Fact is, most of us are way late in this hobby....
