2-16-08 - IH & Silver!

Another great morning over at West Seattle. Had plenty of targets to dig today and in the five hours of hunting I was 0nly able to cover about 90-100 sq yards. The highlight of the day was finding a beautiful 1907 Indian Head penny in very good conditional. Also noteworthy was yet another silver dime (1964) and a record number of wheaties - 13! This time I also decided to take a photo of one of the homes I hunted - the red arrow on the one photo shows the location of where I found the IH penny. Still waiting on some pre 1964 quarters and nickels, but my guess is this whole area has been cherry picked of these larger targets since they would be the clearest signals with earlier technology metal detectors.

Today is Caitlin's last day with us here in Redmond and we're sad to see her go (as are the kids!)

Summary of coin finds for today:

(2) Modern Quarters
(1) Modern Nickel
(4) Modern Dimes
(1) Silver Dime ('64)
(3) Modern Pennies
(3) Canadian Pennies
(29) Copper Pennies
