I went detecting day before yesterday and found 7 wheat pennies, but no silver. That's a strange feeling for me, especially being at good sites and working my butt off! Today I found 11 wheat pennies before scoring a Mercury dime near the base of a pecan tree. What a relief!
As I was finishing up covering the yard that I was detecting, the next door neighbor came out to see why his dog was barking so much. I walk over to the chain link fence and made friends with the dog and owner. The owner asked me what I was doing and I told him. Then said, would I like to do his yard? Of course I said yes. He was a young kid getting a government paid college education because he had been recruited by the Air Force to be a pilot. I could tell that he was a really smart kid and had a bright future ahead of him.
Anyhow, I didn't do so well in his yard either, but I did manage to find a Rosie dime, a few wheat pennies (13 out of both yards) and some clad coins. My luck is bound to change for the better here soon. I just have to keep swinging away.
On my way home I spotted a clean-up crew cleaning out a 1940's home. I stopped and talked with them and found out that it was a bank repo and the company that they worked for were being paid to fix it up for the bank. The head guy didn't see any problem with me detecting it so I'll likely be hitting it tomorrow or the next day. It a large corner lot on a hill and they've got the grass cut short and all the leaves raked. It's going to be super easy to detect, except for the slope, but I always find good stuff on sloping yards!
