Finds are from the last 2 weekends at a list of researched old public city parks, schools and fairgrounds I compiled that I thought may still have some deep targets. Everything was found with my minelab eTrac.
I pulled the sharp 1885 seated dime in a Minnesota city park on Sunday. It was every bit of an 11+ inch coin. The 1917 Mercury dime with the black stain (Was laying on a piece of Iron) as also a super deep one pushing 11 inches.
I was also running into the big silver last weekend as I got a first year (1964 Kennedy - 90% silver) Half as well as the Walker, Barber and Washington Quarter.
I have gotten a handful of 40% silver Kennedy halves (1965-70) but that was the first time I hit a 1964. They are hard to find.
I was also happy to pull that "G Man" toy badge (Made by Tootsie; Circa 1948-1950).
The rain stayed away last weekend so it was a great weekend to hunt other than being hot.
Thanks for looking!
