1891 was first target. Then wondered around trails digging mostly clad. Accidentally found a geo catch, eventually got on the elusive hammer Roosevelt clad dime... and a silver rosey before quitting. It was 50 and raining ? and just yucky out. But at least I got a few silvers for a birthday ? present.
It's the only site I've dug 5 different silver dimes. Canadian dime, 2 seated dime, 3 barbers, a mercury dime and a 1953 rosey. It deserves more detecting, but maybe when it's not so wet ..read more

This had none and I can’t cut or break into it so far with any rotary tools or sledge hammer. It’s just too cool not to wonder what it is. Looks sort of like melted metal that hardened with impurities from certain angles. It’s my best find in a while ..read more
