Wheelbarrow Full of Silver?

Not quite today.  How about a finger full of silver?  I think this should suffice to summarize my feelings towards human nature referred to yesterday 🙂

Anyway, we got a single rosie today at the farmhouse from the last hunt.  Found the clothesline, or at least the post anchors in the ground that were likely the clothesline, but just this and a clad dime under the clothesline.  Competition hit it good, but they missed that rosie; a screaming silver signal at 3 inches that even a Radio Shack machine would have found (yeah, I had one when I was a kid).

Almost done this site, one more day, then a huge field which needs to be hayed, so not sure when I will get to it.  Have to be in the mood for Random Field Theory anyway.

I feel I didn’t hunt the site with much skill.  3 silvers, all modern, and about 15 or so wheaties.  Terrible efficiency ratio, which we want under 2.5, maybe 3.5 at a site like this.  Left plenty of wheaties in the ground for the next fellow, but feel I should have gotten more good stuff.  No indian heads.  I think finding indian heads is a sign of skill.  I’ve never hunted them before, as they come out worthless, and are often mid tone trash, but I really want another half dime or trime, so I have been going after mid tones more and more at sites like this.

Last section is the hardest.  Tons of ferrous and mineralization, but we’ll see.
