Between Mon night to Wed morning, we got hit with 10" of snow, but the temps, for the most part stayed above freezing. Today my buddy called up, and said 'lets check the permissions, and look for some open spots'. He got to the the 1907 house, and texted that there were some good open spots there, so I met up with him and got geared up. I started gridding an area where I had kinda hunted before, and found the GM key (Its has Briggs & Stratton embossed on the other side), and then moved over to another area where I found the 1942P war nickel.
I started gridding an open spot not far from there, and got an odd signal. When I swung one way, I got high tones, and when I swung the other way it was lower tones, so I started to dig. The first item I found was a wheat, followed by a .22 casing. As I was checking the plug, the pinpointer sounded out, and after removing the top part of the plug, and found the 1944 merc!
I checked the hole again, and picked up some more casings, and 3 more wheats. Was I done? Not sure, so I ran my coil over the area, and found 2 more wheats, and a casing. Before I covered the mess, I ran my coil over it again, and didnt get another signal..... but Im not 100% sure that there isnt another coin in there, so Ill check it again maybe tomorrow. The wheats were all in the 1940s to 50s range, with the oldest a 1941D.
Oddest spill I ever dug! Thanks for looking, and HH!
