I made a early hunt this morning, hoping the rain the day before had helped with getting deep signal here. (super dry). I hit an area that surprised me by not giving up anything except a few copper memorials.
Then i moved to a 40's/50's area of town and hit a curb strip on an empty corner house. I hit a couple clad coins, then got a fairly deep quarter/half signal at 6 inches. I cut the plug, only to find a root ball in the bottom of the hole. ( i hate that)
pinpointer tells me its just a little deeper, so i scoop out the loose dirt and the pinpointer sings its song. i knock a chunk of dirt from the side of the hole at the bottom, and i see a lttle silver coin flip out into the hole. i reach for it, and see a BIG silver coin in the bottom of the hole where i cut the chunk out. its a half!
the small silver was the rosie, 1960 D, the 1954 benjy speaks for itself, and after taking both coins from the hole the pinpointer says that have a friend in there. sure enough, its a 1948 wheat.
i took in situ pics of the silvers, but they were so messed up when i went to load them on the computer i deleted them and took pics of the coins as they look after taking from the ground and rinsing with my little water bottle. didnt even take a pic of the wheat...we all know what they look like
thats my 3rd benjy in about 2 years. unbelieveable! but i'll take it!
EDIT:: i forgot to mention, the wheat was at least an inch lower than the benjy, so i'm thinking it was dropped long before the half and rosie was. i think its just coincidence they were all that close together.
