Hi y'all. Finally starting to get out and hunt more this year. Have been hitting some parks and its had been mostly clad and pull tabs, so I decided to hunt on a permission yesterday and managed a pretty good day and my first 3 silvers of the year. The silver quarter and dime were about a foot apart. The half of a ring didnt look like silver when it came out but cleaned up, the sterling becomes apparent. Nice looking old ring I wish it were whole. The buffalo was right by the old walkway and the V nickel was under a grape vine trellis and pretty far down. I almost didnt dig the signal, but was glad I did for sure. I found a bunch of trash too but didnt get pics of it....

The dime is a '52. The wheat is toasted on the date. The V nickel is 1908.

Congrats on the silver, Buff, V and wheat. Nice hunt for sure. Good luck. Mark
 
Congratulations, David! A triple-silver day, with a '51 quarter, '52 dime, and sterling ring, makes for an exciting hunt; and the wheat cent & buffalo nickel are great finds, too. It sounds like your permission site is a productive one! :clapping:
 
Thanks everyone! This is a good yard to hunt. The house has been there since the late 1800's and is still lived in so who knows what I'll pull out of there. This is my third time there since fall and my first two coin silver day. Right now I've been working around their old milk house, a beautiful little brick building in its own right. Planning on spending more time there this weekend. It's a big property overall. An old dairy farm.

That sounds like an intriguing location! Just exploring that place should be fun, let alone detecting it. :grin:

Absolutely! I can't even begin to describe this place, just the house itself is so awesome. I got the permission after upgrading their electric. When I was doing the panel box in the basement, I was surrounded by shelves overloaded with really old embossed milk bottles and mason jars. It's ridiculous lol. I walked into the woods, they have a little drainage the old timers use to put their trash. I walked right up on a 1915 coke bottle laying on the open ground. Some scratching around led to a couple more, and some old medicine bottles without even digging down into the dirt....yet lol. Excited to get back there this weekend and spend more time than I've had so far. Oh yeah and they have a huge nice black cat that follows me around the yard, and sits there watching me dig holes at each hole lol. It's pretty cool....
