Default Silver Coin, Silver Jewelry, What's Next!

Well got out today for about 5 hours the arm felt fine after taking a few days break after my marthon almost 20 hours of hunting in 3 days last week Thursday - Sat.

Went to a local ball park in a town where I use to live. Had a pretty good day I felt, I was thinking of changing the name of the park to Quarter park as I have been raking in the quarters there lately. So todays total 12 Quarters, 12 Dimes (one of them silver) & 20 pennies no wheaties & one Silver earring. Two of the dimes where 65 & 66 & one of the quarters was a 65 also, I was dang got to be silver here somewhere. Finally found the silver dime 1963 & it was only about 1 1/2" - 2 inches max under the grass which is pretty shallow for silver I thought. The earring was a good one because on that dig I flipped the plug over & got a dime & as I'm rescanning the hole with my pinpointer like your suppose to, I get another signal & it's a sq tab & as I'm scanning the hole again I bump the side of the hole & the Silver earring falls into the hole SWEET!

Luck was pretty good just to show you how lucky I was, once I was way out in the left field of the ball park & decided to just randomly turn & start walking in towards the infield kind of towards 3rd base & I must have dug 5 to 6 coins on my way back to the infield, which I find amazing as think of it your out in the middle of no where in a wide open field so to speak & you just happen to get on a line & find coins. Got back to close where I was parked & decide to do one last little scan in an area & in my head was saying okay the next coin I find I'm done & of course wouldn't you know it it was a quarter!!! So after all the clad I have pulled out of there in the last two trips, it's pretty obvious I'm the only one detecting there. Doesn't hurt my feelings though, fun little place to hunt & fun knowing your the only one hunting it!!!

Congrats on the Silver! That by itself makes for a good hunt! Your clad count was way up there also. That helps to off set the gas. Very good hunt, Beale.
