FoRs CoRe in pretty clean front yard hunt....

Weather has been nice so riding and stopping to ask permission as people are outside enjoying cooler weather. Got permission on a small front yard on the main street downtown. 1890 house, no silver again but the fever is spreading. The neighbor at the house nest door gave the OK for the next hunt. Couple of wheats, memorials, (no zincs) couple clad, and a half dollar sized foreign 1940 one cent??? Real clean dirt, not trashy. Stock coil is deep, one wheat at a good 9 inches or a little more. So clean I dug all the higher TID targets.

Nice haul Jack

looks like a canadian LG penny

Cool find

Hey Jack, why is it we find so many more wheats than we do silver dimes? I expect Tom D can tell us the ratio of pennies to dimes carried in a pocket by decade <g>, and I guess it's easier to spot a shiny dime for retrieval, but I still can't help but wonder at the scarcity of vintage dimes compared to wheats.

Does an archeologist argue with a plow? A bureaucrat with a bulldozer?

Wayne,

Ratio's? That's my forte.
For every 5-1/2 wheats (1940's 1950's) ............ I find a silver Roosevelt. For every 5-1/2 early wheats....... I find a Mercury dime. For every 5-1/2 (1890's 1900's) Indians....... I find a Barber dime. And................. after 44 years of hunting ............. I can "almost" claim the exact ratio/number for early Indian's to Seated dimes.

Silver quarters have not quite fit into a dialed-in ratio .............. and demographics plays a role in the equation.

You don't disappoint, Tom. Now all I have to do is find 2 or 3 more wheats and I'll have that next silver dime!

Well I've picked up 6 or 7 silver dimes in the last month or so. It's just a matter of getting the coil over them if you ask me Right now I'm on a 3 hunt no silver streak after getting silver dimes the previous 3 hunts so in the last 6 hunts I'm at a 50% silver pull rate lol.

Nice article and nice haul there... Do like the Fors Core, very fast machine.

CoRe and the Racer, yes I do...........

Jack

Nice tale.
That "large 1940 cent" is a George VI English penny
They are our staple mainstay as they are literally "everywhere"
Whenever I'm testing anything "new" if they come up from previously detected sites then that
New machine is "deeper"
Regular finds at 6" - 14"
Yes... They make a BIG sound!!!
