Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
Early this morning I headed out to my new permission to see if I could find some silver. Come to find out the house was built later than the other homes in the area, so chances were slim that I'd find any silver coins. I wasn't finding anything except for some clad coins and if I'm not finding wheat pennies I lose interest. After giving it a good shot, I left there and headed to a previously detected yard.

I wasn't really expecting to find anything, but low and behold, I got my Deus over a great sounding target. I knew it was silver because I was getting a steady 93 reading, so I pulled out the other detectors that I had with me to see what they'd do over the target. The Vista X was sounding off loud and clear, the Nox was hitting it hard, but the ID numbers weren't as steady, The F75 was hitting it hard and high toning but the ID numbers were real bouncy. I ended up popping a Mercury dime.

While I was detecting the front curb strip, I notice a guy unloading groceries across the street so I thought I'd go over there and see if I could get permission to detect his large corner lot. The guy wasn't very friendly and I couldn't get a conversation started with him so I didn't have a good feeling about asking him to detect his yard, but I asked anyway. He just simply said no. I pressed him on it and he finally told me that his wife was sick and that his dogs wouldn't stop barking if I detected the yard and he didn't want her to get upset. I told him that I understood and I left. You can't win them all.

Anyway, I decided to leave and go to another yard that I've detected to see what I might have missed. I didn't find anything in the front yard but did manage to get my search over another sweet-sounding 93 ID in the backyard. A didn't cover the backyard very well the last time that I detected it because of the barking dog next door. I popped a Rosie dime. It's silver and I'll take it.

Nice Find!!!
 

Don’t feel so bad...I’ve gotten the barking wife and sick dog excuse myself.
 

Hey Tab, you squeaked out a couple silvers, which.. given today’s standards, is pretty good! Congrats on coaxing some silvers out and don’t sweat the “NO”, wasn’t your first and won’t be the last... but those YESSES are nice! Ddf.
 

Nice Find!!!

Thanks! I read the guy right and I shouldn't have asked for permission. I'm not used to getting 'NO' when I ask.

nice couple of Silvers for the pouch. Thanks for sharing and GL out there. :occasion14:
 

Sweet silver, congrats! :occasion14:
 

Nice finds.
I don't see why anyone would let a perfect stranger dig around on their property, I wouldn't say no I'd say hell no. Conversely, I wouldn't ask either and never have but I think its a matter of time before someone asks me.

Not a dig at you TM, everyones got their own style.
 

Hi ,2 heads up is better than sitting at home with rain all day and 2 dogs barking over the fence all day .TP
 

Your gonna get a no, so now you got it out of the way, I dont know !!if I gave someone permission to hunt my yard and Ive seen people pulling some good stuff like old gold rings handfuls of silver ect I dont think I would like that lol I mean if they showed me what they found and offered some of it ? I think that might be one reason I hesitate. Though we are treasure hunters and the more effort you put in the more you get out. Im always glad to see how well you do and well deserved plus if you dont hunt thier yard all that stuff would NEVER be found , Just thinking out loud..........Good day getting two silver dimes keep up the good work........Tommy
 

Nice job on the silvers Tabman. I was going to comment on your "no" permission, but I hear my dog barking, and my wife is sick. Gotta go !!
 

Nice going on the 2 silvers.
I've had the permission from the Mrs-and the boot from the Mr. before.
Maybe that's why I love open farm fields.
 

Nice recoveries!
