I had a 10;30 A.M. dental appointment yesterday. After my dentist finished what he had to do. We discussed some of my metal detecting adventures. I showed him some pictures of some of my finds from Friday. Then we downloaded the NYC Parks Metal Detecting Permit Application. Turns out that his family has some property in Delaware County, N.Y. This guy is chomping at the bit. I will suggest a CTX 3030 and I know he can afford it. Especially with the price he is charging me. Of course, once he is ready, I might have to go up there and give him a few pointers.
So I go home, wash the bike, and load up my gear in preparation for a hunt at a park that gave up some silver last week.
It was 2 P.M. when I started to swing the coil. At best, I might get in a 5 hour hunt before the sun sets. My very first coin is a Mercury Dime.
That was followed by a Silver Washington Quarter. Then a Wheat Penny and a few clad coins. At 3 P.M.,, I dig a Barber Dime.
This is where the Dilemma begins. I now have a Mercury and a Barber Dime. That is an open ended possibility for a Silver Dime Trifecta. This park has given up Seated Dimes in the past. I would settle for a Silver Roosevelt. I didn't even think about a Quadfecta.
I'm digging away. Not taking any chances that a 12-44 on the CTX just might be a Silver Dime. It has happened before. Usually, a silver dime will come in as a 12-45 signal. Well, the hours moved on and the temperatures started to drop. As the sun started to leave the sky, it got chilly. I finally had to surrender to the fact that there would be no Trifecta today. It was a quality problem but not a bad Dilemma to have.
