Hey guys! We went to the 1910 house today, which turned out to be a dud. I Did get one keeper coin out of it though. It was a 1951 canadian penny. I was happy with that. JuJu then told me that we could go up to port orchard and hunt his buddies house. We did that and I only got a 1965 Quarter out of there. I was smelling the silver half a mile a away at that point. I knew that i really wanted it.

After fooling around a hillside, which had a bottle dump in it. We came up with no old bottles, the only years were 1980 and up. I kept asking JuJu if they were really old bottles, but he said that they wern't. His friend kept on laughing at me because i really wanted an old bottle. lol

His two friends then told us about WWII foundations that are still there and were built back in the 40's. We checked that out and I did not get anything, but JuJu got a corroded 1935 tax token. After walking around for awhile longer, we decided to hit a really old park that he has always wanted to hunt. Before he told me that the ground was rock solid the last time he hunted it.

After about an hour of walking around, Nate got a 1929S wheatie. I was like awesome! :thumbsup: I then walked a few more feet in front of me and got a nice dime signal. I thought that I would get a silver ring to be honest. I uncovered the plug and I got a 1939 Mercury dime!!!!! :thumbsup: The details are awesome! I cleaned it up with soap and water and they turned out very good! :)

Anyways...Today was really great! It was nice and sunny. The dirt was also great to dig! :) ;D

Hope everyone had a nice day and got out! :)

DF, you're on a roll with the silver coinage. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Congrats on your merc. Surprising you didn't find a bunch of wheaties there with the silver. Go back again and give it another shot!

Ya got to love the way silver comes out of the ground after such a long rest. It slaps with a bit of shine
 

Nice! Would be nice to get out. lol we still have about 2 feet of snow and it's still snowing. high of a blazing 15 tomorrow. heh well hey give the park another couple shots and take it slow. congrats again on the silver!
 

WTG DF on the silver find. Going to have to put a hex on your detector or you until I can join you guys in the spring. Nice find there juju, wish the token was better shape. DF carry a small container of cooking oil so you can put your silver coins in to loosen dirt and grime. Better than soap and water.

Great hunt bud, keep that silver streak alive!!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 

nice dime and not to bad on the other finds always nice to find some silver...matt
 

I'm a little late in the game on this post but just want to say great job on the Merc! They sure are fun to find and beats the skunk anyday!!

I've only been able to get out here and there for an hour each time. Got permission to detect an old house and only came away with a 1969 nickel. Sure thought that was weird. There should have been some silver at this site but sometimes that how it goes, just like that 1910 house.

HH on your next hunt!
