I've made a few trips up to Missoula in between rainy days. This last Friday I did a short solo trip, and snagged the 3 Mercury Dimes, along with a Buffalo Nickel and some wheat pennies and modern clad.
On Sunday afternoon, I headed up with a friend from town (he uses the AT Max) and we got the OK at a couple of 1920's homes, along with the adjacent curb strips. A good day for me, I pulled a Silver GW and Merc Dime from a stretch of curb strip, and a Silver Rosie and Merc Dime from one of the yards. A newer permission gave up the Sterling & Turquoise small ring. A permission at a ca 1930 home gave up the odd 1937 dated metal thing, perhaps a calendar of sorts - any help appreciated!
Today, Wednesday, I had to make a run to Wally World in Missoula to pick up a few items, and had just enough extra time to find, get the ok, and detect one yard. Am grateful that it proved to be a good yard! It was a large corner lot with the home built in the 1940's. The first signal was a 1940's wheat penny, followed by another signal with 2 wheaties. The next signal was a spill with a 1952 Canadian penny, 3 wheaties, and a Silver Rosie! I was getting a bit excited as it was a great start to the yard and I hoped for more good finds. Near the front street sidewalk I found the Silver WW2 Nickel, along with more wheat pennies. The sidewalk to the home front door produced a Silver Washington Quarter spill, two of them, a rare find for me to find more than one quarter at a time! The 86-87 signal sounded just like a shallow clad quarter on my AT Pro, so I was surprised and pleased to pull a pair of silvers out! Also found a couple of junker rings in the front of the home.
While I usually don't ask to detect the back yard of homes, out of privacy respect for the homeowner, this time I was invited to check the back yard, and I pulled more wheat pennies and another Silver Rosie.
All in all, a nice group of hunts, thank you for your interest!
