Hello Everyone!!
The SE Pro Coil strikes again!!
I was going to meet a couple of my detecting buddies this morning at the "silver park", so I headed out early to try and beat this Fall heatwave we're having. I was hoping for 1 silver coin to extend my consecutive silver streak in the turf. I first went to my favorite little spot where I've been doing so well for the past 6 weeks. I only spent about an hour at this spot, because I wanted to meet up with my buddies in a different section. I couldn't find a silver coin, but got a few wheats, including a 1909 wheatie (no S or VDB). After an hour, I drove over to the other section of the park, and didn't see anyone there, so I got out an tried my hardest to find a silver coin. This area of the park has been really pillaged/scraped of hundreds of old coins. I was hoping to get a few more. The sun was beating down on me, and I was just saying to myself, "I think this is the end of my streak". I started to find a few wheaties, and recovered a button and pin during this time. The button reads "Es Devs Spes Nostra" with a bird on it, while the pin reads "Japanese Chamber of Commerce, LA". I finally heard a decent sounding "silver" signal, and at about 7", I dug a '64 Rosie. Phewww!!! What a relief!! 
Within minutes, and about 15 ft away from the Rosie, another good "silver" signal. Bam, a '63 Rosie. More wheaties started to show. I was detecting an area that I, along with at least 8 other Explorer hunters have been over. I was nearing an underground water pipe, and my machine started to chatter a little. Right next to the pipe, I hear a nice fluty, deep sound. I dig, and to my surprise, I saw it was a barber dime, a 1900S. The dime was standing straight up in the hole, down around 7". 
After scanning the area around the barber dig for a few more minutes, I decided to call it a day. This day was quite different from my past 10 trips to this park. The silver didn't show til the end of my hunt. I might as well celebrate now, because I think my 31 consecutive silver streak will be over very soon. But, for now, it's still alive!!
Thanks for looking!!
Keep The Passion High!!
