One of those incredible weekends! Lots of silver and gold!

First off happy resurrection Day!
I hunted four different spots this weekend one park one school anda field that bordered a Town hall and a private home.
I started Thursday night right after work about 230 at the park near my house the first good coin I got what is a Barber Quarter 1897 it was very badly masked with iron nails.
Then I found the old back to the pocket watch I switched to the Other side of the road a small grassy area at the entrance of the park. I had a solid 12 signal which I thought was going to be a nickel turned out to be the gold chain lying lengthwise. I had to test it to find out that it was 14 karat. Then I was working a long the edge of the yard near some hedges and I found a mercury and a Roosevelt in a spill together!
On my way back to my car working the edge of the driveway I had another Mercury dime.
I was off to a good start for the weekend with four Silver‘s in about 2 1/2 hours Friday we went to a school and a permission at the school I detected with Dave Evers JR and he killed it with 5 silver coins one quarter and 4 dimes I found a silver quarter and a silver ring we also found a lot of clad!
On the way home we stopped at his friends yard I ended up with a buffalo and a Roosevelt in a spill another buffalo some old buttons in another Silver Rosie Dave also got a silver Rosie.
Yesterday My dad and I found a Townhall with a large field that bordered it we decided to stop and hunt it.
I hunted a low area that looked like it was original soil where I found three silver Washingtons they were very deep and not very good signals on my equinox but I knew to dig him.
Today after Easter service I stopped at a very old school that had been closed down and I was working the edge of the driveway where I found the 1944 Mercury dime in the small silver ring and the 100th anniversary Statue of Liberty token I only hunted for about 45 minutes because I had to go to Easter dinner at my mother-in-law‘s house just a great weekend Also I met Jim From the forums Friday and bought his XP Deus thanks Jim!
I hope everyone had a happy Easter and got to spend some time with their families...

Dave
Thanks Dave and Matt Had Dad out with me one day swinging and my friends son Dave Jr he killed it to with 6 silvers with his equinox just starting out.
Hi Matt My soil varies tons of rocks sometimes. I wear a shovel out in about a years time! lots of iron I really look for older areas in parks by the grass and soil and focus on edges of areas I hunt and go slow and change up my settings depending on conditions..
