Little hunt in the Rain Yields Silver and Other Treasures

[broadestpower]

Yesterday I went for a couple hour hunt with the Ace 350 . The rain started so my digging towel soon became a control protector. I didn't let the rain end this hunt and soon had my first interesting find of the day a Japanese coin
5 Yen, I believe. I was close on silver in the baseball field with a 1968 quarter. I covered an area close to the size of about 3/4's of a foot ball field before picking up and potentially leaving. I had to try one last spot before calling it a night.
The forecast was calling for rain for the next two days. The basketball courts were my intended target on my way out. This is a high trash area and can be difficult to detect. Initially I was right on the edge of the court but, that was driving me crazy with all the beeps. I moved away from the court by about ten feet and I found a wheat penny so I was cautious to scan this area carefully.The second beep was a mercury dime 1944. This for me is a first, to land a wheat penny and use this as a tool to find silver. George S

Way to go on the mercury dime and wheat pennies. Those basketball courts are hot areas to detect. They're real trashy for some reason.

Thanks, yeah last year on the other side of the park I found an Indian 1909 on the outskirts of that basketball court

Very nice mix of finds! Yeah, hunting the trash seems to pay off for those that can take the tone overload without going completely crazy!

Nice finds. It's tough to hunt in bad weather but with finds like that it'll keep you going.
