I got out of work in time to do a little bit of hunting before I went home today. I had spotted likely-looking site in one of the oldest neighborhoods in town earlier that morning. I was looking for a spot in an old area that had grass on it, as yesterday's foray into a scraped lot covered with sleet turned out to be a muddy quagmire.
I was really just scouting around to see if there was anything of interest, as I knew I wasn't going to get a whole lot of time in at this spot today. I was keying on deeper coin targets, hoping to score a quick Wheat or silver. I got one nice-sounding High Coin hit at an indicated 5". I cut a plug, flipped it over, and scanned the plug. Yup, there's the target. I started sifting through the dirt to recover the target. After a few seconds, I saw it laying on the plug. A nice quarter-sized metallic disc that was silver in color. I was grinning, as I thought I had recovered my first silver quarter this year. I picked it up, then noticed the hole in the center, and concentric rings around the hole. Dagnabbit! Another OK 1-mill tax token. My third in 4 weeks. At least it's evidence that this spot holds goodies.
I had to leave shortly thereafter, as my other half called and asked me to come home. I'm off the next two days, so hopefully I'll get to return.
