12 Silver Day!

[doninbrewster]

I went out on Sunday with some buddies to an old park I've been hunting for 35 years. They had never been there before. We hunted for a few hours and other than some wheaties, didn't find much. One the way out I thought I would check a small hill I hadn't hunted before. Out pops a silver Roosie. Next target was a silver ring. I called over Diggin Dude and he started detecting there also. He pulled up a 1949 Washington. I really had to leave and dug a 1916 Merc before I left. We had only spent about 15 minutes there and I knew there was more.

Went back yesterday and the silver started popping out of the ground. Ended up with 2 silver Rooses, 6 Mercs and 4 silver Washingtons. A 12 silver day! It's been a while since I've had that many silvers in one day. Back 30-35 years ago it wasn't unheard of in this park. It's a really big park. I lean towards going after the old stuff, LC's, colonials and the like, but I'll hunt a place every day if it's pulling this kind of silver. Years ago I hit my best pocket dump at this park which was 17 coins including Barber dimes, quarters, SLQ's, Indians and the last coin out of the hole was a Barber half. Needless to say, I still love this old park.







Opps, forgot to put the photo of the first finds that sent me back.

Hard to believe so many silvers left after 35 years. Like you I'd prefer older, but would not turn down a dozen silver of any vintage. Congrats.
For the record my personal best silver coin day was 7
