Due to a bout with shingles, I haven't hunted much lately. I got out briefly yesterday and for most of the day today. I got a 1951 dime, eleven wheat cents, and an old railroad button.
Today's finds were pretty good: 1943 quarter, 1942-P war nickel, one Liberty nickel, two Buffalo nickels, and five wheat cents. I also dug an American Indian style silver and turquoise bracelet.
If it’s a type one it’s certainly worth looking at the possibility it could get a 1916. There are certain characteristics that separate 1916 from 1917 coins.
I had a good day today: 1908-D Barber dime, 1936-D Mercury dime, 1934 quarter, 1944 quarter, 1893 Indian cent, a Chinese cash coin, and five wheat cents. I also dug an old fashioned skeleton style key.

Salvaged the day with a few keepers. What’s your silver count at for 2020?
It's 24 silver coins, and a very strange mix. The percentage of silver quarters, war nickels, and Barber dimes is much more than normal. I'm not finding many Mercury dimes and silver Democrat dimes in comparison.
There are a couple of reasons for this. The main reason is that I keep going to the same site where I dug 69 silver coins last year. I've pulled 17 more silver coins from the site this year. The remaining targets at the site are either very deep, masked, or give junk signals. The war nickels are coming from junk signals that I skipped last year. The silver quarters are deep targets, usually more than 9 inches deep. A deep silver quarter is easier to hear than a deep silver dime, which I believe explains why I have more quarters than usual so far this year.
Old silver again.... You certainly have researched your sites - at least that is what I believe can justify your consistency with old silver and copper. Cheers, RickO

Today I dug a 1943 Mercury dime, 1945 Mercury dime, 1952-D quarter, 1897 nickel, and eight wheat cents.
Nice... three silvers and no zincolns.... Cheers, RickO
Last weekend I drove to Chicago to hunt an old park. In three hours, I was only able to find a 1964-D dime and two wheat cents.
You are certainly a silver magnet.... seems you find silver wherever you go..... Cheers, RickO
Two wheat cents and a sterling religious medallion today.
Well, not a coin... but still silver....Looks like snow here on Monday, so winter still hanging around. Cheers, RickO
If you cant find a silver coin find a silver something! What’s your silver coin total for the year now?

Silver and wheaties...A pattern you stick to.... Nice finds. Cheers, RickO
Hope you feel better soon. Heard shingles is no joke.
Six wheat cents today. I need to do some research and find some new sites.
I searched six new sites on Saturday. I got three deep wheat cents from the last site. I doubt I'll be revisiting any of those sites.
You are in a slump... .two consecutive hunts with no silver ....
Back to your special fields.... 
Cheers, RickO
Today's finds were a 1911 Barber dime, 1943-P war nickel, two Buffalo nickels, and three wheat cents.
Once again... silver ....and all older coins. Must be back at your old site again.... Cheers, RickO
Not silver,but one of my coolest finds to date,1848 Braded Hair Liberty large cent! Big coin! Yee Haw!
Very cool find...not a common MD coin....Got a picture? Copper can deteriorate fast in acidic soil...Hope yours is in good shape. Cheers, RickO
Here she is
Nice find... can you get a better, more defined picture? Seems a tad blurry...Cheers, RickO
Have him start his own thread. These posts don't belong here.
@Bayard1908... I messaged him. Cheers, RickO
Today's finds were pretty good: 1943 quarter, 1942-P war nickel, one Liberty nickel, two Buffalo nickels, and five wheat cents. I also dug an American Indian style silver and turquoise bracelet.
Now that was a darn good day...any picture of the bracelet?? Cheers, RickO
I was pleased with today's finds: dateless Standing Liberty quarter, 1901 Indian Head cent, and four wheat cents. I also dug a silver chain.
If it’s a type one it’s certainly worth looking at the possibility it could get a 1916. There are certain characteristics that separate 1916 from 1917 coins.
Nice coin finds.... there certainly has to be some history of that area to have so many old coins....Cheers, RickO
Today I dug a 1928 Buffalo nickel and ten wheat cents.
Buff and wheaties - but no silver? Rare...Cheers, RickO
I had a good day today: 1908-D Barber dime, 1936-D Mercury dime, 1934 quarter, 1944 quarter, 1893 Indian cent, a Chinese cash coin, and five wheat cents. I also dug an old fashioned skeleton style key.
Impressive....You have a silver mine there....Cheers, RickO
that's a good mix of finds
Yesterday's finds were a 1943-D Mercury dime, 1945-P war nickel, and two wheat cents.
Silver and wheaties....What are your totals so far this year?? Cheers, RickO
Today's finds were a 1943-P war nickel, one Indian cent, and eleven wheat cents.
Well, you did manage one silver anyway
and an IHC, that is good....sure speaks to the age of the site you are working. Cheers, RickO

Wow... 24 silver coins already.... I hope you set a new record this year. Cheers, RickO
24 is a nice haul. That's interesting mix. Seems like the majority of silver coins are mercs and Roosevelts.
A very brief hunt today got me a wheat cent and a sterling ring.
any time you find silver, it's a good hunt
Well...if not silver coins, you find silver jewelry....That MD is more like a silver magnet than a detector
Cheers, RickO
I visited several new sites today: 1936-D Mercury dime, 1942 Mercury dime, and one wheat cent.
You have done your homework on these sites.
