Since my usual hunting starting time found the temps in the teens, took care of some errands that needed getting done before my wife and I depart for a little warmer climate for a few days. Finished those up late morning and noted the temps had sprung into the 20's with a bright sun beaming down, so headed off for a couple hours of detecting. My very 1st target was a wheat cent, so knew the hunt wasn't going to be a total bust. Over the next hour or so didn't dig much of anything, a couple of cents and a clad quarter was about it besides a few trash targets. I was swinging along on the edge of some woods and got a folded dollar bill. It came in at a 68 reading. 
About what it's worth. A couple minutes later got a 90 reading showing 6." Thought, "hmmm, silver quarter or half." From between 8 and 9" I recovered a 3 Merry Widows container lid. Hadn't run into those widows for a while. Thought maybe they had moved on. Heading back towards my car and swinging along the edge of a concrete drainage ditch got a kind of faint hit reading 80-81. Pushed my Predator digger into the soil and at about 3" hit what felt like a rock. Removed some dirt and noted a couple of chunks of concrete. I was already thinking Memorial cent, but decided to stick the Pro pin pointer down along the edge of concrete and upon doing so got a good vibration. Probed around between the two pieces of concrete and saw what looked like the silver edge of something. Wedged the blade sideways again and flipped up the silver disc, which turned out to be the 1907s Barber dime. How I didn't badly kiss that sweet thing, I'll never know. Figuring that was a good last target, I called it a wrap. When I got home and was rinsing stuff off, noted 1 of the cents was a 1891 I H. The wheat is 1918. The Barber was in pretty tough shape from being nestled against concrete for some number of decades, but a little water and soda got most of the corrosion off. You all find and post some goodies while I am gone. HH jim tn
