My friend Wayne, from Corvallis Montana, picked me up this morning and we headed to a nearby Montana town for a day of detecting. It turned out to be a great hunt, both of us doing well, and Wayne having his best day ever!
I got the OK at a 1930's stucco home, and Wayne (uses Nox 800) found an awesome Sterling Silver Army Paratroopers pin! My take from the yard was just a couple of wheat cents and a few clad quarters.
I got a killer permission at a 1900 corner home, this yard produced some goodies... wheat cents and a 1903 Indian Head Cent for my friend, I got my coil over a 1964 Silver Washington, and a beautiful Type 2 1917 Standing Liberty Quarter! I did get a Buffalo Nickel / Jefferson Nickel spill, a 1906 Indian Head Cent, and some wheat cents back into the 1910's. From there, I got us the OK at a large old time funeral home, this big yard only produced a Silver Merc for the AT Pro, and some old cents for Wayne.
We took a break for a bite of late lunch, and then headed off to another area of town. Wayne got us the OK at a 1940 home, and this small yard produced 8 SILVERS! My side of the yard had a couple of Silver Rosies and a Silver Quarter, Wayne's side of the yard produced a 1972 Kennedy Half Dollar, 4 Merc Dimes and a Silver Rosie. There were a lot of coins in this smaller yard, wheat cents and modern stuff. I then got the OK at a large corner lot, but the only coin of note, other than some wheat cents, was a Merc Dime for me.
We were getting a bit tired out, but decided to try one more yard. Wayne got the OK, and this yard had 7 SILVERS! My side had a sole Mercury Dime, but Wayne got on a roll with Mercs, Rosies, Silver Washington, and 1945-S Silver War Nickel.
After that, we were happy and also pretty beat! We ended up with 19 shiny coins for the day, 2 Indian Head Cents, Buffalo Nickel, Sterling Paratroop pin, lots of wheat cents and plenty of modern clad. We are both grateful for a good hunt, days like this don't come around too often. Thank you for your interest!
