Shiny Silver Salvaged Search Shutout

[DirtFlipper]

Howdy,

I slipped out this evening back to the site I've been searching this month to take advantage of the ground following a couple days of rain. Pretty much ideal conditions for the black dirt.

I poked around a few other spots in the area, trying to scare up some more hot spots, but eventually drifted back to what has been producing. Getting to be harder to sniff out the goodies now, but I'm hopeful there are still some better nooks and crannies I haven't found there yet. I was on my way to getting a silver shutout though, when finally the last signal of the evening, in the near dark, finally gave off that high-pitched fluty tone we all love. Why is it always the last signal during overtime???

Just a Roosie, but it was enough to pull the hunt up a bit. Also managed four more Wheats and another Indian. These bring the totals from this site this month to 63 Wheats, 13 Indians, and 15 silvers. It's fascinating how that Wheat to Silver ratio just converges on 4:1. I started out at like 17:1 at this site.

Still worth returning to hunt though. I played around a bit with ferrous audio, spending some time on the hunt for nickels, but ugh - too many pull tabs still, and I hadn't found silver, so I switched back. Maybe another time. There should be several nickels hiding I would think.

Thanks for looking.

DF,

Ferrous will not be your friend in areas with many pulltabs, ferrous is much more an heavy iron trash option. About the only times I don't use ferrous or open screen is in the presence of lots of pulltabs, aluminum crowncaps, etc. Picnic areas that have seen more modern usage. You probably need to forget about those nickels at this site, unless you are getting desperate for sites.

Good hunting! That's a pretty Indian Head too. Hope you have continued success & HH.

Good job, if you found 16 Silvers their should be about 16 Nickels at that same site, I have always found the ratio of Silver and Nickels to be the same. HH

First and foremost any day with silver is a good day.

Explorer is a killer on deep silver but on the lower segments is not the best nickle unit around.

Many cherrypick high coins so always find some nickles as many walk right over them and if they missed the nickles they sure left a gold ring or two.

Wheatie to silver ratio can vary from area for instance in our coal region yards kids were given wheaties to play with and once hunted one of these yards and got 30 wheaties before I dug a standing liberty quarter.

Last but not least 16 silver coins is excellent so hope your silver streak continues...

I've tried searching for the deeper, older nickels, but after digging a few deep beaver tails, I always revert back to looking for the coppers/silvers.

Sweet looking Injun, and congrats on sticking it out to prevent the silver shutout, DF!

That black dirt in the midwest is easy on the copper coins. Nice totals from the park, Congrats. My parks are all loaded with aluminum screw caps and pull tabs, so I seldom find nickels.

That's just the picture, no doubling on it.
