When you're hot, you're hot...

...when you're not, you're not. Last 3 hunts....just under 5 bucks in total....and NO silver...zero...zip...nada. I am ready to declare the park and adjacent property "clean". I reallize that others may still find an occassional coin....but I found nearly 50 there in the last 2 months. For my detector...and my skill level....I think that's all she wrote for that parcel of real estate. Like the old schoolhouse I worked over last fall, it was fun while it lasted.

Wonder what my next trick is gonna be?

It's gonna be somewhere else, that's for sure.

You guys can come down if you want. There are probably a few more silver coins on 5 acres that are out of the reach of my machine. The effective depth on a silver dime for mine is about 6 inches....more typically 5 inches. In most of the park, the topsoil ends at about 6 inches. There are a few places where the topsoil layer is thicker....and other areas where there's fill over the original topsoil. You dig through 4 inches of clay and rock fill....and then hit topsoil.

I just want to find another place that has 50 more silver coins for me (The school produced 43).....w/o having to spend an eternity looking for a single coin. I like going places and bringing home 4-6 pieces of silver in a couple hours. I am less excited about hunting for 4-6 hours for one silver coin.
