Silvers on Saturday and today

Our Club had a hunt on Maryland's Eastern Shore this past Saturday and the farm field was "hot" with finds. Among the detectorists I spoke with I can account for numerous coins including large cents, Barber quarters, seated dimes, and a cut 4 reale. A couple pickers tokens were recovered. I know one digger(JF) got an intact crotal bell.

I was fortunate to come away with a tombac button, two porcelain buttons and a "mercury" dime, which came late in the day.


This being my last day of vacation, I got out for a morning hunt in a couple Baltimore City parks.
The first park was sort of a bust but we did come across some wheat cents; John probably dug nine there.

We hit one more park nearby and this time my search for high-tones yielded silver x 2. First was a deep Washington quarter - 1942 and my second silver hit was a rusty chain with silver charms. These are all European silver ranging from 800 to 835 purity and represent cities someone visited: Berlin, Frankfurt, Heidelburg, Mannheim and Potsdam.


Afterwards I headed home but John went to park #3 and was successful with two IHCs, one of which is an 1871.

Looks like a couple of nice hunts McCdig. Sounds like your club knocked it out of the park at that club hunt.

Nice batch of silver! Congrats.

 

[McCDig]

Thx mhess! The quarter was down about 7 inches and the charm bracelet about the same depth. Great to find silver.

Thx Professor! Got me looking at a map of Germany.

 

[McCDig]

Thx Trezurehunter! Yes, the hunt was worth the drive and attended by about 25 diggers, with roughly 300 acres to spread out over, although most the action was isolated to about 6 acres.

Thanks L-D! Yes, we are trying spots now that we just haven't hunted before. First park on Tuesday was pretty trashy and gave our ears and brains a workout but John found a quieter spot and we hammered it for awhile. Nice to have the option of a second "new" spot that ended up producing some silver. Probably more there but it's not a spot to head to alone.

Thanks Hawks88! Silver is a bit elusive for me and I don't think I will tire of seeing that shine in the hole.

 

[McCDig]

Thanks Brendan75! I lost my way from Park #1 to Park#2 and had to pull over and have my fellow digger with the smart phone get directions and take the lead. We were almost there but I could have driven in circles trying to find it.

 

[McCDig]

Thank you, DDF! Agreed. Mix some play with a bunch of work on my last day. Got home and got to work on lawn and garden.
