After leaving there, I headed to the park where I hunted for about four grueling hours and came up with a little clad, a stickpin and finally, one Indian Head, which still leaves me three short of my
goal of 50 for the year.
Great weather, but the detecting gods favored Suzanne by far. In the morning we hunted the house where we found the wedding band and as she describes, it was less than we had hoped. I was cranky, no doubt. With some assistance, I located a 1936-D Mercury dime along with nine wheats and a toy figure, so I felt like I could still leave with my respectability intact.

Got out this morning at the park I've been hunting and didn't find a blasted thing! So I called up Dave to see if he was out freezing today and he and Anthony were at another park nearby. They were kind enough to extend an invitation and I headed over that way. Slow going at first. When I arrive Dave had a wheat and Anthony was in another part of the park. Later, on his way out he showed me his nice finds! I hit an area Dave had covered before and found some very iffy signals that turned out to be wheats. A good sign for me, so I stayed in this area and another iffy signal turned out to be a 1943 dime. An 01-35 signal turned out to be a sterling silver cross on a chrome plated chain. A few more wheats and then a 10-46 signal right next to one of Dave or Anthony's holes was a worn 1918 dime. About that time I was hungry, losing feeling in my fingers and needed a restroom so I checked in with Dave and he was still chasing silver. I felt confident he'd get one as soon as I cleared out, so I left him to it.
Cold and dark seems to be keeping everyone from getting out detecting. I made a little time before darkness set in to rework the spot I've been hunting at the park. Managed one of the most worn old Mercury dimes I've ever dug, a 192_ and a few wheats that Suzanne and I missed.
