All finds shown are from weekend hunts over the last 2 weekends at researched old public city parks and schools with my Minelab eTrac.
Most of the finds came last weekend from hunting in South Dakota.
The 2 walking liberty half dollars were pulled this past weekend and the franklin half dollar and standing liberty quarter was pulled the previous weekend.
It was terribly windy last weekend, but I kept at it; tried to stay out of the wind and ran into some old finds.
I started the day Saturday hitting a 08-45 (Ferrous/Conductivity numbers) signal. I was hoping it was part of a pocket spill because of the lower ferrous number. It ended up being a pocket spill. I first pulled up a 1947 silver dime, then a 1941 mercury dime and finally the 1941 half dollar.
There was a pile of wire laying on top of that silver necklace. It was a little hard to pinpoint that one and I gouged the back a little while digging it.
The tiny Saddle PIn (Tie Clip?) was over 1/2 foot deep and read like an Indian head penny.
The 1917 Half dollar was pulled Sunday and was about a 10-inch-deep coin. That read like a partially masked faint dime signal so I was surprised when I popped a half dollar.
Hopefully it will warm up a little more soon.
Thanks for looking!
