I headed out this morning to a picnic grove in hopes of scoring another Rosey. I met up with Mikewaz and we began working the field slowly, since lately a few coins have been popping up in areas there we have hit time and time again.

Within ten minutes, I got my first decent signal, and it ended up being a 1943 merc. ALWAYS with this place, a silver right off the bat, then a long drawn out period of nothing, lol. I also found a clad Kennedy half dollar, been a long while since I found one of those. Out of nowhere, it began drizzling, then it began raining a little harder. Mike and I ran to the cars, got into them, and then as soon as it started, it stopped. We got out of the cars and then it began to rain again! Then it stopped. We eventually made our way to another grove nearby where I discovered an area littered with garbage- but also containing some old coins, evidently. I dug a few wheats, then another merc, a worn '36. Before we decided to call it quits (temps were rising), we hit a soccer/baseball field, where my first target was a sterling ring.

Eventually, the heat got to us so we took off. As I type this, it is pouring cats and dogs out there, hopefully none of you guys got caught out in it. I had a good time and am hoping you all had fun productive weekends as well.

The wheats are 45-D, 28, 53-D, 58-D, and a 45. JFK is an '83.

My legs say I had a real winner, must've dug a ton. Pouch tells the real story.... :dontknow:
Good digs!
 

Very nice finds Twisted..They are starting to add up now...Nice ring as well. :)
 

Nice job Joe on the silver and the ring. I give all my silver rings to my wife. It keeps her happy and she lets me go hunting when I am in Texas. LOL. BTW, I need to get you to Texas and hunt with me down there. I went out the last time I was home and it was 92 degrees before 10AM. Today was like a spring day. :laughing7: TMAN...
 

Awesome job bud, love the ring!!!! I wasn't sure if you were gonna hunt today, Silvergurl and I decided to go out scouting and we found a site where we should all be able to hunt for awhile. :icon_pirat: I was already home and in bed by the time it started raining :tongue3:.
 

GREAT FINDS JOE,WTG!!
 

Great hunt, Joe!!! A sterling ring and Mercs! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Man, I love gorgeous Mercs!!!

Hitting the trash and pulling the oldies out means you're tuned in real good!

Excellent hunt!
 

Nice looking ring and Mercs Joe! Big congrats!! :thumbsup:
 

Joe, cool stuff :thumbsup:

Love the ring. . . I wonder if anyone has EVER dug a silver Kennedy.
I think everyone has hung on to them as soon as they were released from the mint.
 

I love that ring! Great find Joe!

The silver dimes are purty too :) JFK ain't half bad either...bwahahahahaha.
