Had to dig a lot of holes to get my first silver of 2020

[Steve in PA]

Saturday I was packing my gear in the car to go detecting when my neighbor strolls by walking his dog. He invited me metal detect his yard, so I thought why not, a walk up the street beats driving 50 miles round trip to where I was planning to go. Besides, he lives in a large yellow brick house that was probably built around 1920 and it has lots of yard around it. There has to be some silver in that yard, right? Well 3 1/2 hours and 40 coins later, I finally got a 1960 Roosevelt dime. I dug 36 pennies, 23 of them wheat ears, including 1912, 1914, and 1916. Here is the take from his yard, and I still haven't even detected one of the side yards.



My favorite find was this locket. I didn't notice the stone was missing until I got home and cleaned it, or I would have tried to find it in the dirt.



Sunday I got out with PA Dirt_NC sand to a farm field where I got an 1818 large cent and 1884 seated dime last time. But no such luck this time, I only came away with 4 buttons and a suspender clip. But ironically, one of the buttons has a heart on it to go along with my heart shaped locket from the day before.

Trust me I've dug to the earth's core looking for silver but it's fun and well worth it when you find it. Hope this years a great year for you. Tommy

Nice group of finds....if you detect the other side, hopefully it's as productive as the one you hunted.

Nice work! Still more silver coins than I have this year. I've probably dug a couple hundred coins already across 12+ hours, 35 wheat cents and still no silver. That's how it goes sometimes!

I would say you're due for a multi silver day!

I seem to have to dig a lot to find silver nowadays too.
