in Metal Detecting
for about a half hour (that's all the time I had) at a place along a river where the city is putting in a jogging path. Among the numerous pull tabs and memorial cents I also dug a 1950 Wheatie, a 1941p Merc and a 1908 V-Nickel. They are all in pretty poor shape considering the soin is very acidic in that area, but what-the-hey, I enjoyed the sunshine and fresh air and am looking forward to hitting the area again before they dump the gravel and asphalt.

    thats an interesting "decorative water holder" you have for an icon

    Just my opinion, but I dont think CU should allow a pic like that to be used.

    Congrats on the finds though.

    Nice work Jim!

    It's always a good thing to grab a Merc and a V nickel on an outting.

    In my opinion

    "A friend with weed is a friend indeed"

    "Thanks for pot smoking"

    "RELAX" Just a little joke

    I'm not faulting you for using the pic, but if that is one that CU makes available, shame on them.

    Nice haul for a half hour. Acidic soil is brutal on coins. I've detected in a few pine groves and most of the copper is pitted so bad you can't tell what they where. Silver still looks good but the alloy metals turn black and pit out.
    I like the modern Powow peace pipe.

    Hm. Strange. My logon isn't working- that last reply posted, but none of what I typed did.

    Anyway, I've scolded him about that icon before, too. image

    WTG, Jim- good work- any day one gets silver AND a V-nick counts as a success, as far as I'm concerned! image
