Went out yesterday, and tried a new spot. It looked like a good spot, glass shards every where --real trashy lookin --screw caps were even sproutin out of the ground--perfect !! Started digging up some misc. junk as usual--including some screwcaps, that hadn't sprouted yet I probally was there about an hour when I got a jumpy signal that sounded good it was jumpin around 37-38-39 on my Safari--well let's see what it is I dug down about 4 inches and loosened up the dirt, as I was scoopin the dirt out I saw the edge of something round I grabbed it, and I had found, my first walking liberty half
. Been detecting 3 yrs now and I finally found one!!! the next item found was the bell shaped relic that says --Good Roads-- on it. I dug 3 buckles-- a lipstick tube and a a key. I dug up a small jewelry item missing some stones but pretty neat. I dug A TOTAL of 27 wheats today, and only 16c in modern coins--not a good spot if your lookin for clad!! But a good spot if your lookin for silver and screwcaps!! Today, after I dug the walker, the silver just kept poppin outta the ground. I ended the day with 11 silver coins
When I got home and was lookin at all my stuff- I had one coin about the size of a nickel, that was all black and totally encrusted--you couldn't see and details on it at all!! I was thinkin it was maybe a token -because I had nickels disked out. So before bed, I threw it in some vinegar, and let it soak over night. When I got up I pulled the mystery coin out and gave it a rinse. It was a-- nickel???? I grabbed a magnifying glass and gave it a closer look --yup a nickel ??? I then turned it over and looked at the reverse side --yup a nickel ---I started to set it down and I suddenly realized it wasn't your average Jefferson nickel------ there was an S mintmark above the building with this I now had 12 silver coins Last pic is my biggest trash pile ever from about 9 hrs digging! Thanks for lookin and listening and good luck to all!!! Tony AZ
