In the Sweet sand today

[p2c]

I had a couple hours early evening (7/9), so I went back to the sweet sand and was rewarded with this 1927 merc 20 minutes into my hunt (you all aren't kidding that the first was the hardest!)



I kept getting excited every quarter signal I got (hoping for a SLQ) but alas clad after clad.

Then on my way out I got one more quarter signal ... Would it be a standing liberty?

No, it was a standing libertine


Anyway, I can report the little lagoon is fenced off and inaccessible, but the rest of the restoration area is fine.
HH,
Jon

Second one, first one was Tuesday http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,256390.0.html. Everyone said they come easier after the first merc -- and this was 20 minutes into my following hunt after the first one.

NICE!!

There still appears to be "mint luster" on that coin
(Is that a double-die mint error or just "camera shake")

So, what kind of silver do you want to dig tomorrow?

 

[d-dub]

More silver? I just might have to pay one last visit to silver beach. Great job
