My grand wife and I just returned from two weeks at our favorite resort up in Mn. 70's and 50's there and got back into the muggy south yesterday. Ugh!
First off, thanks Mud for the help on the 1919 repose ring. That is the first of its kind I believe I have ever found.
Although I had two detectors along while up in Mn, the F 75 and A T Pro, the A T Pro was being used when I noted some area's of the old fairgrounds I frequent while up there had just been mowed. As a result, these area's starting yielding the occasional older coin and not being one to "look a gift horse in the mouth," I pretty much continued hunting with it almost the whole last week and as a result, almost all the older finds were dug with it.
The resort we stay at is old, built in the early 1900's, but I have hunted all over it like the fairgrounds and city parks for close to 30 years. Thanks to frost, movement of sand, different detectors and coils and simply never getting it all, the area always seems to yield a few goodies. Although, more and more begrudgingly.
I think the dates show up on all the coins and of course, numerous clad and cents coins turned up from the sand and turf along with the usual curios. Now, its just a matter of biding my time until our Aug. trip back up there. Thanks for looking. HH jim tn
