Got out today with John C today; it had been two months since we last hunted together. We hit one elementary school and John was the first to score silver, finding a shallow silver ring. We made our way over to the street-side strip with older trees and began to find wheats. Good sign and then I got a 27 signal on my Equinox; this produced a NIKE silver ring.
.
John had an itch to find something old so we headed further down into the city to yet another public elementary school, a site where he had found numerous silver and nickel targets in the past. I was working a hill and dug a choppy signal that was mostly in the high 20s only to see a thin silver disk in the dirt ball. I figured either a trime or a half dime and a little cleaning with water, I discovered this target to be an 1854 half dime, not pretty but exactly what we were looking for.
.
I pressed on an did get another positive target on that hill and uncovered a small STERLING charm in the hole. This is a tiny working mailbox.
.
All in all, a pretty amazing hunt and what a way to kick off my first day of retirement.
