Another half hour at the church sidewalk.

[Colorado Kidd]

Went back to the church where I found 4 wheats yesterday and pull one more and 5 modern pennies. There just has to be silver there somewhere. The Wheat was right up against the sidewalk and about 2" down. It must have been at an angle because the signal was good one way but not the other. Next I'll see if I can hunt the back yard of the church. Also across the street there is an old bank with a 20' x 40' area of grass. I was using the Ace 250 again with the Sniper coil. That coil sure is fun to use. I wouldn't want to do a soccer field with it though.

Here's the old Church. It was built sometime before 1929.


Here is the sidewalk area.


Here is another wheat cent coming to light.

Nice finds, kid! You don't see many young ones in the hobby as much. HH!

You know its crazy, I dug about 12 wheats from My friends sidewalk a nice buffalo nickel and only dug 2 silver from the whole yard a Quarter and a dime. You'll find silver somewhere.

Keep @ it and HH!!

5 total wheats=Silver somewhere. I've been to places where you can pull out 3 or 5 wheats in a day and get skunked on the silver, but the silver usually turns up on the second or third trips. I'd keep hitting the area until the silver surrenders.

Gotta love the Wheats. Where there are wheat, there is silver.

How'd ya get permission to hunt the church....I am not having luck getting permission from anyone.

Wow, that Cool!!
Im in a string of bad detecting. Nothing but junk lately!

Well its better than nothing at all, at least Im digging and finding stuff. So I know the detector is still working.

Bootybay,

I have been wanting to detect this church for a while. Sunday evening they were having a wedding. I stopped and happened to catch some of the elders leaving and asked them if it would be alright. They said sure. Now I will go back and see if I can hunt on the rest of the property which is much bigger. I think you just need to be as polite and friendly as you can and just ask lots of places. That's what I've beeb doing. I've also been contacting realtors of places for sale.

Way to go...if you get permission for the whole place you could be spending a lot of time there and hopefully, a lot of finds plus that elusive silver!

Wheats are still fun to dig. The silver will show up sooner or later.
