THE DAY STARTED AT THE OLD FARM LOOKING FOR THOSE SWEET OLD COPPAS. I HAD MY 2 WAY RADIOS WITH ME. I GAVE ONE TO VPONE, AND I HAD THE OTHER. I DROPPED VP OFF AT ONE END OF THE FARM AND I DROVE TO ANOTHER PART. OUR GOAL WAS TO HOPEFULLY FIND ANOTHER HOTSPOT BEFORE THE PLOWS HIT THE DIRT, AND FIND A HOTSPOT I DID, BUT NOT WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.
I WAS IN AN AREA WHERE IT WAS ALL GRASS AND THE PLOWS NEVER HIT, RIGHT NEXT TO A STREAM. THIS IS WHERE ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE. MY FIRST TARGET HIT A 91 VDI. I DUG OUT THE PLUG AND OUT POPS THIS LARGE SILVER BARBER HALF. I SAID SH&T, AND LIKE ANY GOOD DETECTORIST I RECHECKED MY HOLE AND GOT A DIME READING. ALRIGHT, ITS GOT TO BE A BARBER. BUT NO !!!I IT WAS A LOUSY MERC IN THE SAME HOLE. ( 1920 ). I SOON CALLED FOR VPONE ON THE RADIO. HE SAID NO WAY DUDE. THATS INCREDIBLE. HE TOLD ME TO KEEP HITTING THE AREA BEING HE WAS SO FAR AWAY. WELL HIT IT I DID. MY NEXT TARGET WAS A POCKET SPILL WITH 2 QUARTERS AND A ROSIE IN THE SAME HOLE. WELL THE REST IS HISTORY, WITH A TOTAL OF 8 SILVERS AND 2 NICE BUTTONS FOR THE DAY. NO LARGE COPPAS THOUGH........

Looks like eight super keepers to me! :thumbsup:

Way to go, Paco! Nana :)
 

Looks like an awesome day indeed but the comment that bothers me is the "LOUSY MERC" that you threw out there. Do you realize how many people would be happy with a merc? Good luck in the future and try not to pizz off the silver gods!! :icon_king:
 

Ohh... Nice!!!!! :thumbsup:

To get that many silver in one hunt and not be in a park is special. Those type of results don't happen too often anymore. Congrats.

Pretty awesome !...I've never found a barber half let alone one that gave birth to a Merc !!

A good silver day :thumbsup:

HH ! Derek :icon_pirat:
 

That is a super day with some great finds Paco.
I don't think I have ever found 8 silvers in one day. [Not counting back in the 70s]
That Barber half is sweet. Congrats and WTG :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice silver load . love the barber half !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great finds
 

Down in my part of the country finding a "lousy Merc" is considered a successful day. I guess it's all relative. But I envy you just the same. Monty
 

Nice! I've never got 8 silvers in one day! Let's see, one, two, three,... nope.

Love the big silver!
