I got a late start today because we went to a wedding last night.
So I decided to go to a house that was built in the 50's. I acquired permission about a month ago and haven't had the time to go back out that way.
I got to the site and turned on my MXT.
The first signal in - I got a wheat penny from the 1920's. Second signal in? Another wheatie - from the 1940's.
I was thinking that it was a promising start. But I've learned by now not to get my hopes up.
Within the next twenty minutes, I dug a bunch of clad, and five more wheaties.
I worked around the house, and scanned pretty much the whole property.
As I worked alongside the concrete patio in the backyard, I noticed a 2' x 2' slate slab butted up against the patio, almost like a makeshift sidewalk.
Just by chance as my coil passed over the slate, I got a very good, solid signal.
And I'm thinking Wow! There's no silver in the whole yard but there's going to be a coin under this piece of slate?
and found a 1960D Rosie.
I get a kick out of things like this happening. I searched so hard for silver - especially where I found the wheat pennies, but ended up finding a silver coin in the most unlikely spot.
Either way, I'm glad I found it,
It was the only silver that I found today.
