I was able to get out and hit a 1950's house the other day. Lots of targets in the driveway. Lots of pre-1982 Memorials in the driveway and elsewhere(the ATP cannot tell the difference between a clad dime and a pre-1982 Memorial). I did find a silver 1964D dime at the driveway entrance-- ending my 9 month streak without finding a silver coin. Proceeded to find 4 wheat pennies dispersed around the yard and driveway. Two from the 1950s, one from the 1940s, and one unreadable. Last target I dug before heading out was the 1960D silver dime(isn't that how it always happens?). It was quite dirty and gave a consistent 86 VDI on the ATP. I think this was only the third hunt where I've found multiple silver coins on the same day. In reflection, I finally beat the silver pirates at their own game. :laughing7: Also, dug was the vintage county dog tag and a tag with "MEN" on it: maybe a men's room key tag to a local gymnasium back in the day or vintage men's room tag for a gas station. Who knows? :laughing7: HH

Very nice hunt, congratulations! :occasion14:
 

Nice Silver! I have more luck on those 50 era houses than I have had on the older ones!
 

I call that a great day hope this year keeps giving my friend. Tommy
