So I went to detect at a place where the neighbors wouldn't let me detect before but now that house is up for sale and the neighbors are okay with it. Vacant lot. I detected last summer but now the vegetation is low, and so are the temperatures, but I survived. 34 degrees out.
First good find was a mercury dime. Found some wheats and memorials. The dog license was a welcome find, I love finding those but didn't know what it was till I got home and washed it off.
Washed the dimes off with baking soda to get that black crud off and it worked pretty well. Pennies, too. I like to use candle wax on the pennies, will do that later. I enjoy cleaning up the finds and keeping records.
Happy hunting,
Penny
