A common dime that I was glad to see

[Mason Jarr]

Although my goal this year was 50 silver coins and 200 Wheats, I got there fairly early in the season and decided I'd keep digging....although I didn't set any new goals. As time went by I got closer and closer to 100 silver coins and then I really started to want it. I doubt I'll ever get this many in one season again, so I really wanted to be able to say I had a hundred silvers in one season. I got two dimes on Sunday that took me to 98. Yesterday I got a war nickel so I only needed one more. Today I got it. A common 1949 Rosie, but it sure looked good to me when I saw that silver gleam! I'm not done for the year (unless this cold weather keeps up), but I'll feel completely satisfied if this ends up being the last silver for the year. I also got another 9 Wheats and that took me to 440 for the season. Here's some pics.

All of them together. The mangled one near the bottom is a Merc that tangled with a mower or something. The bottom three are a British shilling, a Canadian dime and a Swiss franc.

It's sure been a lot of fun. I love this hobby. Thanks for looking and I hope you were successful if you got out today.

Congrats on hitting 100. I only hit that mark once and that was back in1988,

nice display, and Congratulations on fulfilling your goal! Good second effort to make it happen, you should be about ready to get some steel in the ground eh? That season is about upon us, you should throw up some pictures of what you catch on the hobby forum to keep us entertained this winter..

Thanks! Yeah, it's getting cold enough for sure. I'm headed back to Montana next week to see if I can fill my elk tag and then when I'm back in Idaho I'll start up. I will definitely put up some pictures....if I catch anything!

Thanks. It worked out that I had exactly 10 quarters and 50 Rosies, so I thought I'd just string them across in rows of ten. More a result of the quantities I found than my artistic abilities.

If you ask me ,, You did a hell of a job finding all that silver. I had a dry month. No silver. I just keep going and going. Maybe next month... Great job... KEN

You done good Mike.....I'm impressed!!!!!! Glad you mentioned the mangled coin because for days I've been looking for a lost silver around the house, in the couch, etc.? I thought my count was 38 silver and only had 37 after I found my first E-Trac silver the other day. Your mangled coin reminded me that I have a badly burnt Barber quarter (sigh) that wasn't in my little silver pile.....lol

Cold here lately (teens at night) and raining today. Have 15hrs. on the E so far. Got a 6" coil today and looking forward to playing with that.....

Keep em comming.........

Thanks. I hate misplacing stuff like that, but I'm guilty myself. Somewhere in this house (I think and hope) is a pill bottle with 12 pieces of silver jewelry in it. I showed it to a friend on Sept 1st and that's the last time I saw it for sure. I hope I haven't lost it.

Speaking of losing silver, I moved into a new house (this is my first post on here in a while) I have misplaced a silver necklace I've found, have no clue where it could be.
