It was 17 degrees when my buddy Jeff and I went back to the area that produced 15 silvers last Friday. It was probably the coldest weather I have ever detected in. He killed it again, and I did okay. We started off where I got the quarter trifecta last week. He stuck mostly in the front and I stayed mostly in the back. I squeezed one more Merc out of the back along with quite a few Wheat cents.
Jeff in the front went back over the front yard and the areas we skipped over before. On the curb strip really close to the road he got a Walking Liberty Half. He also got his first Merc of the day in the curb strip. When he went back over the front how we both missed the first time I don't know, but he got another Walking Liberty Half right in the middle of the front yard. I've only found 2 ever, and he gets 2 in one hunt. This front yard is not that big either! Over by the driveway he got his second Merc. After the first yard he had me 4-1. Moral of the story stay in the front yard. I always almost without fail find more silver in front yards vs. back yards.
As hard as it might be to believe 16 silver coins came from this small yard. All but 3 came from the front yard. They must have had a bunch of kids is all I can figure.
The second yard was also a re-hit from last Friday I got Mercs 2&3 there, plus a sterling silver nameplate from a braclet. Jeff got 2 Buffalo nickels and a bunch of Wheats.
Last yard should have great, but it was a let down. The ground in this yard was worst of the day to dig a plug in. Frozen a couple inches down in most of it. The other yards weren't to bad even early this morning. Jeff got the only silver out of this yard a Washington quarter. I tried really hard to get one more silver for the day, but it was not be. Overall I can't complain.
