23 Wheat Pennies Kept Me Looking For Silver

[tabman]

I haven't been out detecting for awhile due to the lack of rain and hot weather. We got some rain here at my house a couple of days ago so I thought I'd give it a shot. I ended up detecting a mid-fifties front yard, the ground was rock hard but I kept digging because I was finding wheat pennies everywhere. I also was finding a jack, toy gun parts and play cooking pieces. Those finds and all those wheat pennies told me that there had to be some silver coins around there somewhere because kids lose things.

I started out with the Multi-Kruzer using 3 tones. I found probably found 15 wheat pennies before finally getting my search coil over a 1936 Mercury Dime. It and most of the wheat pennies that I found were just a few inches deep. I was glad for that because that dirt was super hard making digging tough.

After totally grid searching the yard in one direction I switch over to my Deus to grid search the yard in another direction. I had the Deus set up in full audio tones. I didn't find but 4 or 5 more coins, but one of them was a 1957 Rosie. It was only a couple of inches deep.

I sure would appreciate if someone would send me some rain and cooler weather.

No rain for you. You're finding too much. Congrats, we do hope you get rain.

Nice silvers! Yeah, it sucks digging when the soil is so dry. Not fun at all.

Thanks Everyone! It looks like we have some rain coming in tonight and tomorrow. We'll need a lot of it because the dry ground will soak it up like a sponge. I wanted to go over the yard again with another detector but I was too wore out from the heat and hard ground. If it rains good and I get a chance I want go back over that same front yard with my Deeptech Vista Smart Plus with the Super Six search coil and then with my CTX with it's 6 inch search coil. After all that then I'd like to do a final grid search with my modded Cibola with the 5.75 inch concentric search coil attached.
