Back to last weekend’s site, and another barber dime.  This one is quite a bit nicer.  Saw the back on this one as well, and again hoped it was a seated, but it was not to be.  I’ll get one tho, I can feel it.

Back to the site of the last couple of entries.  As I said previously, there should be old silver here, and after a dry hunt yesterday, finally got one, a toasted 1892 barber dime.  (Also found a religious pendant stamped “CHAPEL STER”.  Not sure what that is, but it sounded sort of like silver, and tested as silver, tho it doesn’t look so much like silver).

Missed a seated by one year.  And, I could not tell in the field as all I could make out was the back, and the backs are basically the same between the two types.  Oh well, better luck next time.

Site also has an abundance of wild raspberries, which are now in season.  I love these things fresh off the bush.  Managed to pick about 3 cups worth in 20 minutes.  Probably got about 20% of what was in the patch.

New site, and dug some Indians over the past couple of hunts.  I rarely find these; only my 45th over 10 years, despite 1328 silvers over the same period.  But this is a very old site, so I opened up my range a bit, as I really want to find a seated half dime, and they are in that range.

Three hunts here actually, the first also produced a rosie, the second 3 of the Inidans and a toasted copper (probably a Connecticut copper), and the third one of the Indians and that honking silver ring, coming in at a beefy 25 grams.  Somebody had pretty big fingers.

Well, I hope to get back here in the next couple of days.  The copper and the IHs say something spectacular could lurk, and giant ring says it hasn’t been hunted too hard.

A recipe for success, we’ll see.

Yesterday went to a site that I lasted detected in 2013.  Always had promise, as it had given up 7 silvers over my few hunts the last time.

Was surprised to find 3 silvers in a little over 2 hours of detecting, including the 1943 coin from Uruguay.

Also surprised the place wasn’t hunted out in all that time.  As I try to come back after missing a few years of hunting, it gives me hope.
