Hey guys, we’ve had some more luck recently. Backtracking a bit to several days ago, we met Dan at a park that we’ve never tried before. It’s pretty large and we only wandered through certain parts of it. I found the only silver, and I hesitate to consider it a tangible find because it was near the road and just below the surface in this extremely thick, red clay. It looked like some construction work brought the coin up or something. I also got two tags that have the name "J. Holsan" on them.
But anyway, Saturday was a surprising day. Me and Mirage went to one of our usual detecting grounds (one that Dan had discovered a while ago), although we haven’t been there since sometime in the summer of last year. We wandered into a rather small patch of land that we had never tried detecting before because it was sort of away from the main area. There was plenty of clad and a wheat would pop up here and there. After a while I got the sterling Catholic item which was pretty cool. I kept wandering around in the area and got a sweet VDI of 87 and 88, pinpointing at 6.5". I called over to Mirage and told him about the signal, and then proceeded to dig. I flipped the plug over, and here's what I saw:
That's a walking half sticking out of the plug...and what little of the coin that showed through the dirt was just enough to see the date of 1943 on it too. Talk about a surprise...here it is pried out of the clump:
So I figured why wouldn't there be a silver dime around? It didn't take too long...a 1954 rosie turned up. Not too long after, we had enough of digging through that crazy thick grass and all...I still have sore spots on my hands from cutting and digging. I'll bet there's more though in that little area.
I thought that the 1969 Canadian quarter had some silver in it, especially since it wasn’t all dark or red and appeared to have been an inch below the surface (but it might’ve been hidden in the grass), but I guess 1968 was the last year.
Also a bracelet, with different ways of saying "peace" i guess:
Thanks for looking yall...HH!
