Public park gives up 8 silvers.

My sister-in-law was coming into town today so my wife gave me the green light to go do some metal detecting for a couple of days. I decided to go try a couple of new spots. First one was about 45 minutes from the house the second one was about an hour and a half. Neither one panned out so I decided to drive another hour and a half to a place that had produced some silver last month. It was 1:00 when I finally got to do some serious hunting. I kept having a gut feeling to hunt a certain area so that's where I began. Within 3 hours I had five silvers and a couple of Wheaties. I hit a nice spill that had four coins in the same hole, a merk, a silver Washington quarter, a 1940 nickel and a 1936 Buffalo nickel. My little honey hole played out so I decided to do a little roaming around. I went to another section of the park, started off with a couple of Wheaties ended up scoring three more silver dimes. My goal for the year was to hit 100 silver coins today put me over the top at 103. I'm going back tomorrow to spend about 5 or 6 hours and see if I can find a couple of more hot spots.

Holy smokes that’s some great diggin’!!
I love the photo with the dime in the side wall. Pretty darn deep too!
 
Thank you, it was down about seven and a half inches. I'm damn lucky I didn't hit it :)
I’m glad you didn’t either 🙂
Curious what your settings are. Would you mind posting them?
 
Thank you
You finally got a honey hole after a couple dry sites.
You had amazing results… and a great year with all those silver coins!!

It is, it's always a crap shoot when you have to travel to hit a spot.
 
Dan,

That is amazing -- 8 silvers from a public park is darned rare, anymore. Incredible, and GREAT job hitting your 100 mark!

Thank you Steve, it took me a while to start gaining traction. We moved to a different part of Texas, I lost about 2 and 1/2 months worth of hunt time due to the move and having to work 6 days a week.

And you still managed to find over 100 silvers!! Absolutely incredible Dan! Thanks for posting your settings. Your settings are working extremely well for you!
 
Man, I thought it was awesome to get 2-3 silver coins each time out. Eight is really out of this world. This place might never have been hit.
