I DID IT :super: Silver #38 - #41 since 3/9/10

[Cal_Cobra]

Since our last MD club meeting on March 8th, I've been on a bit of a silver streak, so I set a personal goal to find forty silver coins by the next club meeting on 4/13/10.

I wasn't able to get out as much as I'd hoped this past week (darn rain and family holidays ), but I managed to get out for a couple of hours one afternoon last week, and scored silver #38, a 1948 Washington quarter

I went out this afternoon and tried a new spot, it was a hill and tough hunting as it had a lot of brush to weave through to move around, which also limited the amount of ground you could get your coil over, but still it looked like a promising spot. It turned out to be a pretty good spot, as my first target saw light for the first time in my lifetime and silver #39 turned out to be a 1955 silver Roosevelt dime, I thought terrific, I'm almost there. A bit later I got a really nice signal and silver #40 came to life, a 1934 Washington quarter Just before I left, I got one last nice signal and unearthed silver #41, a 1939 merc

As I have a week left until the next club meeting, I'm going to try like heck to make my stretch goal of 50 silver coins in a month

Thanks for looking and HH,
Brian

Are you kidding me? You are on fire man, way to go. I have been super slow on silver this year so I enjoy seeing that it is still out there.
Congrats. Your club guys will be freaking out.

Great finds and you have been on fire finding silver. Are you finding these with the LTD?? You have mentioned several times about the LTD not being the best coinshooter around, but if you are finding these with the LTD it must not be to shabby.

I got lucky and found 17 silver quarters in one lot in one day. They had scarped a lot dating back to the 1840s in a town I lived in in Sutter Creek in the Gold Country of Calif. The dirt was used to fill another lot that a house was going to be built on. They had a pile of dirt about six feet high and about twenty feet in width. The next day the tractor comes in and starts to work the pile of dirt when he was through I asked if I could detect and he said "I get paid by the hour and when I am through I don't care what you do" I will have another truck coming to dump another load Friday. Well I found 17 silver quarters by the time it was too dark to hunt. That was day one! The next day he was not there so I went back in it was just down the block. There silver half dimes and about six Chinese coins. So we are up to 20 silver coins. The next day the truck comes and dumps a load and the next few hours the tractor comes and starts to level the dirt. The next day I come back, a troy ounce of silver two steel pennies two V nickels two war nickels = 22 silver coins + a troy ounce. I started to go back for the next few week and found three silver dimes from the 1890-1901 more Chinese coins= 25 silvers and a few Indian heads. Rybo came and hunted with me and we found one gold ring a few war medals and then the bottles. A hole filled with glass bottles from the 1800s. Green glass, Rx glass, all sorts of cool stuff. Then came the tokens about 12 in all and one forum hunter offered me about $250.00 for each token but I said no. I found two Morgans from 1880 and one Ben Franklin= 28 and a troy ounce. I think I added that up right. I had a CZ3 and a very fast gold machine I forget the brand but it had one tone so I dug it all. We found a few more coins in the weeks to come and forks and silver spoons, door knobs. It was the best hunt I ever had and I was so hyped for months to come. It was not till I read what Cal found that made think of it in detail. I have everything I found that day. If I had to count the silver coins I had found in about the last 12 years of hunting before the cancer I would say I have about two hundred silver coins the oldest dating back to 1834.....that was a lot of coins and a lot of fun.
