My luck has been so bad lately I couldn't even get the horns. But still a cool find, probably a hood ornament from a truck. Looks like the horns lit up . This was dug on one of my less productive hunts at a city park.
I dug silver # 38 on May 18th and did not dig another for over 2 months.
I got permission to do the yard next to where I dug the SLQ in July and although I dug 16 shallow wheaties there was no silver. Then in a part of the yard that had fill I dug a deeper Rosie. # 39 Think it came in with the fill. My thoughts were that the place had been cherry picked just like the place next door due to all the penny signals and not much else. On a return trip I did find an Ihp a Buff and a few more wheats.
Pretty much the same on a return to a city park. Dug a 1918 Buff, a transit token and a 2 wheat and transit token spill.
A 1915 permission had my hopes up but the yard was probably the most trashy yard I've ever hunted. Was worse than a picnic grove Two wheats and a little clad was all for about 6 hours of sweating to the oldies, or for the oldies.
While at that place the guy told me about a building being renovated down the street. An apartment building, a small front and not a lot of grass but I was welcome.
I went over today and my first signal was a nice, deep quarter signal, really, a 65 quarter shows up n I'm thinking this ain't good. Been digging to many 65 & 66 coins lately. Anyhow dug a crotal bell a D buckle so I knew there was potential for older stuff there. Dug a V nickle and that confirmed it. Had dug a couple wheats and a bunch of clad and just about when I was ready to call it quits I got a scratchy 26 and out comes a well worn Barber dime. Its thin and worn but I'll take her. Finally silver # 40 FTY.
Hopefully I got my ticket back for the silver train. Thanks for looking in. Mark
