I hadn't been out since the end of May so I snuck a couple hunts in this past week.
The first hunt with a buddy of mine scored me an 1892 Indianhead penny and a token from the town we were detecting at. Not a bad day after being off for a while.
Today I went to another near empty town about 70 miles from home in the hopes of getting another token.
I went there thinking I was just going to hit right-of-ways since I hadn't heard back from a couple I asked permission from. I got there and at the yard I've wanted to detect for a few years the owners were loading up their camper. They gave me the go ahead.
I think it had been detected before because the only thing I was digging was junk so I figured I'd check near some bushes. I figured since these folks had only recently thinned them out there might be something that was missed by people before.
There was one high tone which I figured was shallow clad and I almost didn't bother since it was only 2" deep......I'm glad I did!!!
I pulled out a shallow Merc and stuck it in my pocket and kept detecting. It wasn't until I got done that I really looked at it and discovered I had dug a 1921-D Mercury dime in what looks like, in my opinion, XF-40 condition!
Needless to say it'll be getting sent in for grading.
Got 5 wheats and 27 cents in clad as well today.
