Hello Everyone,
I didn't have to travel very far to get my silver fix on Wed. I met Jon(Goldenapples) and Mike(oknorom) in the Barrio again, and had one of my better days there. On Monday, I couldn't find a silver coin out of some 30+ wheaties, plus the '08S IH at this park. On Wednesday, the silver was starting to show again. My first dig of the morning was a merc, and ended the day with 7 mercs, 1 rosie, 1 war nickel, along with over 40 wheats, including two more semi-keys, a '10s and '12s. The other rosie was found in a short 2 hr hunt on Tues at a local park. At around 10", I pulled an old lock with the date "1903" on one side, and "IXL" on the other. Found out it was made by Slaymaker Lock Company, a special edition lock of that year. I found a pic of it in good condition on the net.
I'm glad Jon had his video camera with him on Wed. He filmed three silver coin digs for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!!!
It was a great day hunting with my buds, Mike and Jon. We saw so many cops in the park that day. They were busting kids playing hookey, and even handcuffed one. In the morning, one of the maintenance workers saw us making a plug, and said that the police were looking for us the day earlier because there was a complaint from a patron of the park who saw someone digging holes in the park. Mike explained/showed him our process of recovery, and he felt at ease that we were respectful of the turf. The gophers, however, were not.. Later in the day, one police SUV drove right on to the turf next to us, and I thought we were going to have to go home, but he said he had no problem with our detecting as long as we were filling in our holes. I sure felt better after that....I think they were watching us all day.
Thanks for looking,
CAPTN SE

PS - Sorry, Mike, I didn't admit it then, but it was me who produced that foul smell while you were recovering your find when you yelled, "Who Farted!!".
