    Hello everyone,
    My previous 2 hunts did not produce any silver coin finds so I was pretty bummed out about it :(

    On those trips I went to 2 parks where I have done well in the past. They were located very far away so it was a bit frustrating.

    Yesterday I decided to go to a local park across from where mom lives and I got me a Silver Winged Liberty Head Dime!

    2 hour dirt fishing finds...

    There's no being bummed out. It's better than being at work. wink.png

    It's better to be bummed out than being a bum. Congrats paddy.

    Never heard that one before. My iteration was always stated as, 'it's better to be pissed off than pissed on'.

    Nice finds @paddyman98

    I see no one has said anything about your 2 Bicentennial Quarters so I’ll tell you. They are suffering from environmental damage. LOL-sorry Paddy, I just had to do that. Still unpacking from moving and I’m going crazy.
    Looks like you had a good day today and congratulations on finding a silver dime.

    :hilarious: Oh really? Thanks

    I just showed the 2 because it's rare to detect them in the same trip. It's actually the 3rd time that's happened :wideyed:
