2 HOURS = 2 SILVER DIMES, 2 NON-SILVER DOLLARS

[Mike Moutray]

Went back out to the park I hit yesterday hoping for more silver.... I was a little disappointed. Most of the park turned out to be recent fill dirt, but I re-hunted the small hot spots from yesterday and managed 2 more silver dimes - 1951S Roosy and 1943D Merc, 17 more wheaties (no key dates this time), and a surprise 1976 Ike dollar and SBA Dollar. The Ike locked on dollar and I thought to myself "wouldn't it be cool if this was a silver dollar?" and when I dug the hole I closed my hand around it scooping out the dirt - that had me going for a second or two! It cleaned up real nice and I was able to burnish the silver color back into it with a lot of scrubbing with a brass bristle brush. There's still a lot of targets out there, but the ground is bone dry and the deep signals were all broken up and iffy, so I'll have to return when the ground gets damp. Take care and HH, Mike.
