I headed north a couple of days ago to my favorite Montana city, and was grateful to have a good day detecting! My friend Jason from Helena, and friend Wayne from Corvallis Montana joined me, and we all did well.
I got to town about 45 minutes early, and thought... well I could shop a bit, or maybe snag a quick permission and detect one yard. Well... no brainer on that, and thankfully I got the OK at a 1940's corner home. This yard turned out to be a real producer! I started off with a few fairly deep copper memorial cents, then got a good 89 on the AT Pro. Turned out to be a Silver Quarter spill, with a 1952 GW and 1958 Canadian Queen Elizabeth. The yard produced a few wheat cents, a 1936 Merc Dime, a 1945 Silver GW Quarter, and a couple Silver Rosies! I was pretty stoked, as I had 6 silvers before we all met. When I showed my friends the finds, I told them "don't kill me!" for getting a quick yard in!
We went back to the same area of town where I had just detected, and soon had permission at three houses right next to each other. My yard had modern coins and a couple of wheat cents. My friend Wayne had the home next door, and he started out with a Silver Rosie, then hit a neat 5 coin spill with 2 Silver Rosies, a Jeffy Nickel and a couple of copper cents. My friend Jason had the last home, he pulled a nice Silver Washington Quarter. The middle yard had 7 old BUCKEYE AMUSEMENT CO CHICAGO tokens.
We kept at it in this area, taking a break when some booming thunderstorms rolled in about 2-3 pm. Wayne ended up finding a couple more Silver Rosie Dimes, giving him 5 shiny for the day. Jason pulled 3 Silver Rosies, giving him 4 shiny for the day. I did get into another good yard, and found a Missoula dog tag, a neat Covered Wagon charm, and 2 Silver Rosies, giving me 8 shiny for the day. It was a fun time together, glad that all of us made some good finds, thanks for your interest!
