I went back next door where I got that last silver and wheat that I posted and got another Silver Roosie and wheat . Plus a clad dime , Memorial Penny , zincoln ;
another good sounding rusty nail and a bit more junk .Notice how much that silver looked like clad before I cleaned it that happened last time too .The clad dime is a 67d and the wheat is a195? .I'll probably hit it again .

Most were built right after the war .I'm sure there's a lot of good stuff to be found but most people around here aren't friendly like the older days and I feel funny about asking people I don't know .I don't like strangers coming to my door so I know how that goes .

Thanks Ron , My property Has given up about 10 silver dimes ( Roosies+Mercs)
but none in recent years .I still try every once in awhile though .Hopefully I find a little honey hole soon my silver count for the year is pitiful .
Yeah the neighborhood is probably full of silver. I'm sure mine is too. It's not a real friendly neighborhood though. I don't even know most of my neighbors names.
Good going on the silver, George
I betcha there's more hiding there
Do you normally hunt private yards, or, parks, mining spots & places like that?

Thanks Joe,
There may be more there . I'm going to switch from the Joey coil to the Ultimate
13 to try to get more depth with better coverage .I hunt everything I can ,scrapes ,demo's , schools , sports fields , parks , vacant lots ,beaches , private properties ( only with permission ) ,sidewalk strips and once in awhile wood chip tot lots . I tried gold detecting once , no success but it was fun . I would do it but I live far away from the gold country . I will avoid pristine lawns and crowded places .I hate thugs , morons and smart a$$e$ so I try to avoid being near people .I'm at the age where I've just about heard and seen it all and am a bit let down by the collective wisdom of Society at large .I have a couple of huge spots I have hunted to death over the years and the finds are now very far and few between but I love the peace and quiet of these places and both have given me a few 1800's coins .
