First Hunt At New Site: SILVER X2

[carolinachief]

I got a chance to hunt my new site this evening for about 2 and 1/2 hours. I didn't find the real old coins I was hoping for from the post office that was shut down in 1900 but did OK. I pulled a few lincoln cents, a nickel, a dime, a 1934 wheat, and then a 1947 Rosie, and the worst looking Mercury dime I've ever seen. This thing got way too hot one time. The digging is some of the easiest I have ever done. The soil is soft and almost like digging beach sand after you get past the grass. I think that may be working against me though for the older coins. I have a feeling they may have sunk to a depth I can't reach with my detector. I will probably be back for more tomorrow evening. Happy Hunting all.

Ok maybe I sound dumb but for months I have been wondering what a rosie was. Thanks to you I know. Roosevelt wow I do feel dumb. Great finds can't wait to see what else you pull up. Good luck.

Don't feel bad Gordie'sGirl I was clueless too. Carolinachief this may be a great site to hunt right after a rain. It might be what you need to get to the really old stuff. Happy Hunting.
