11 For 11 & 12 For 12!! 7 Silver ~ 2 Washingtons, 2 Mercs, 3 Rosies.

Hello My Friends!!

I am happy to say that my consecutive silver streak remained alive today, making 12 straight hunts so far with the SE Pro Coil. I decided to head over to a park that I've had the most luck at this year for the oldies. It never ceases to disappoint me. I'm in disbelief when I think that today I recovered my 89th silver coin from this park alone this year. Last year, I didn't pay much attention to this park(only 2 silver) because I had so many other parks that I was finding the oldies in. I couldn't have asked for a better 3 hr. hunt today. I was hearing plenty of deep fluty sounds with the SE, and ended up with 5 silver(1 '47 Washington, 2 Mercs('26, '45), 2 Rosies('53, '61)), and about 6 Wheaties. Last week at nearly the same area of the park, I was able to find 2 Silver ('47D Washington, 1 '56 Rosie), and 6 Wheaties. I left them "biting" today, and headed home to beat the freeway traffic. Note: the scratch across one of my mercs was not caused by my initial recovery, but by my second recovery from the garbage disposal sink drain. :laughing7:

I can't wait to try for 13 for 13!!

Thanks for looking, and Happy Hunting to All!!

Keep The Passion High!!

Dan,

Simply awesome! You never cease to amaze and inspire me. I've been in a silver slump lately, but that's due to change any time now. WTG! I hope the silver never runs out. Thanks for posting, and keep the pictures coming.

Incredible as usual. I'm surprised the price of silver hasn't dropped with all you've found.

Hi Dan! Man, you sure are doing great with that new PRO coil! THAT'S AWESOME!!

That sucks about the Merc dime falling into the garbage disposal! Atleast you recovered it! My Canadian friend calls a garbage disposal a "garb-o-rator" ~ LOL HA HA HA!!! Dude is funny!

Dan 13 is my lucky number so im thinking if you continue up the hill into the overgrowth where the old homestead was they'll be another seated in there for your 13th hunt. I look forward to hunting soon.
 

Re: 11 For 11 & 12 For 12!! 7 Silver ~ 2 Washingtons, 2 Mercs, 3 Rosies.

Nice batch of finds Dan.

Those parks where you are at are great man. Our parks are pretty good around here to. They just been silver picked over the yrs. Finding indians old nickles and relics are still there though.

Thanks, Jon. I'll only go up there if I can find a silver down below. I don't want to risk looking for an elusive coin and get skunked for silver. I drove up there yesterday...It looks like all the grass has been cut up there, so we need to hit it.

Thanks, Jer!! Yeah, this park, in particular, has been unbelievable for me this year. I'm really going to try and see if I can pull 100 out of there this year. This park is a very popular park here...lots of history...I'm sure it's been detected numerous times since the 80's. I think many coins were missed those previous years because machines back then couldn't separate the trash from the good targets efficiently...there's a lot of trashy signals in the ground here...the new machines are so much better at target separation.

Good luck!

QUESTION:

Album?
Bucket?
Sell?

Crusader,

I haven't done very much with them, except look at them, and catalog them. I keep them all. Never sold a dug silver coin before....Not sure if I ever will..... It's hard for me to give up silver coinage that I worked hard for. I don't need the extra money (yet ;D ), so I'll just keep looking at them, and remember some of the great days I had.

Thanks,

Dan,
I ran into a Newbie this morning 7:30 A. He was out with his SE with the pro coil. It was his first time and he was getting seriously frustrated. He had not read his his manual as he can not read english. Nor had he looked at his video that came with his machine. I thought of you and what you might have done. I do not have the same machine mine is an ACE250. What I did is to locate coins and then had him go over them with his machine until he was beginning to understand the tones that he was hearing. Using this method I was able to help him as best I could. I just felt that that something that you would have done. I just know if he keeps with it he will do well. I told him that he had one of the best machines made and that he needs to trust him machine as it will not lie to him. If it indicates a coin there is one there it is his job to find it.
I also gave him information regarding a detectors club locally that he could also get help from some of the members.
Congratulations for your continuing finds I follow each of them. The only silver I have found is a 1943 WL Half. I will keep going you are inspiring.

HHHH
 

Re: 11 For 11 & 12 For 12!! 7 Silver ~ 2 Washingtons, 2 Mercs, 3 Rosies.

More excellent finds, Dan! I just seem to keep coming across Mercs lately. Found another one (a 1942D) on Saturday, but they're just coming one at a time and not on every hunt like you. Maybe you need to just let me borrow your SE w/the pro coil for a while and let me do some damage. ;D ;D ;D

Keep 'em coming!
