Default 1918 silver quarter

Went to the local park today, first signal dug turned out to be a 1918 George V silver quarter. I searched only a small area that had been freshly mowed and found 2 silver dimes as well a 43 and 50. Ended up with 4 coins that were not pennies giving me a total of $2.50 in clads. I also dug 25 pennies most of them from the 40's to 60's, a nice old lock, and of course some garbage. We are experiencing a heat wave here so the beaches are crowded. Will search the water next week. The wedding band I recovered last weekend turned out not to be the one lost by the groom on his wedding day so I have another for my collection.Used the Ace 250 to uncover todays finds. Thanks for looking and HH.

Default cool finds

My 4yr old has an odd obsession with locks... i found a tiny diary lock and he wanted it. so i gave it to him. now every time i go dig he wants me to find him a lock. and there must be something to it because i have found several in last few weex.


Hey Sammy....

WHY DONT YOU WANT GOLD INSTEAD


HAPPY HUNTIN
