Milestone reached and a best bested

[Nick A]

A beautiful day for detecting today, after a good amount of needed rain. Went park hunting today with Steve (daytondigger) and Manny. We all got silver. Started at 9 and went until 5 with a short break for lunch. Bested my best day for silver by one... got 17 today. Four quarters, 13 dimes, taking me to 255 silver for the year. Also surpassed my wheat goal for the year, getting #1000 somewhere in the middle of all that, with 26 wheats. A little over $7 in clad and a sterling silver heart charm.

So, quarters: dateless SLQ, 1941, 1942, 1945. Dimes: 1917, 1918, 1923, 1939, 1939-D, 2-1943, 1944, 2-1946, 1950-D, 1959, 1960-D. Oldest wheat was a 1917, I think, and the second oldest was a 1918-S.

Hope everyone got out digging today!

Killer pile of silver

I doubt this charm is Victorian, the design and style, plus where I found it make it a pretty sure bet it's from the 1930s-1940s. Definitely a nice one though!

Nick, do you do video? I, and I bet many others, would be most interested to watch you doing a typical hunt. I am very curious as to how fast you cover the ground. I picked a 44 merc last week that just barley chirped with my 6"X8" coil. I have had my ET since April and have found more silver (13) with it but I am continually amazed at how well you do. I keep slowing down, but still wonder if I am way to fast.

I don't do video, I may someday, but not yet. Slow is slow enough that you hear everything passing under the coil. Those chirps are the sign to hone in on that chirp and find out what it is. If you're doing your research and are at old sites and parks, it sounds like you're doing the right thing!
