Two hour hunt yields first silver in months

[smittyw]

Went to site of torn down 1920's house in Plant City today. Searched about two hrs. Found all kinds of junk as to be expected, a clad dime and several modern pennies. Got one 1945 wheat.

Decided to do one last scan of an area which would have been the back yard. The AT Pro made a nice tone on pro coin mode which did not change and read about 83-84 at 8 inches deep.

Dug to the 8 inches and found the first nice Mercury dime I've found in several months. It was a 1945 no mint mark.

Pic attached tho it is not to great. No doubt I will be looking at that place again in the near future. It is across the street from what used to be an old jail. Hope to know soon what else may be in that area.

Thanks all. Yep, Desertvet, I was thinking the same thing since you are just south of me a little bit. Would be fun. Finding the time is the hard part. Send me a pm when you want and I'll see what can do.

You also, Debbie, if you wish. Would love to sift some sand around with ya. (gotta buy one of the sifters we sell at the shop first tho, lol)
