Finds from today!

#1 Unread post by Nolifeking »

I had a very productive day at this new apartment that I'm moving into. The landlord let me go ahead and detect the yard, which is huge! I did a quick run over maybe 20% of the yard not really looking for deep coins just what I could hit that was on the shallow side 4" and less. I dug a few newer clad coins as well as these babies. :thumbsup: The 1891 dime is an S mint mark I believe and I found this one first at about 6 inches. I decided to check the hole to make sure I got everything and out popped the 1902 V nickel. I was feeling pretty good at this point the dime find alone had my heart pumping a little. Then I check the hole again and about and inch deeper came the 1893 barber quarter. This quarter looks to be the O mint mark. Later on I rounded off the day with the 1913 wheat penny at 4". I found a few other interesting items. I can't wait to hit this yard really hard all summer as this is the one that I'm going to comb the hardest. I know there has to be more coins in this yard and they are probably deep. I just can't believe I found three old coins in the same hole one right on top of the other. The wheatie was only 4 feet away from these I'm suspecting that there was something there along time ago probably a tree or a close line. Let me know what you guys think especially about whether or not if I was right about the mint marks on the dime and quarter. Hope you enjoy! :D

You hit pay dirt! :bouncing: You're correct on the mint marks. You just might find gold! I'm happy for you and hope you find much more.
