Big Silver Today!! 34 For 34!!

[Captn SE]

Hello My Friends!!

I just got back from my "silver park" today, and the silver was flowing as usual for me. I met Curt(Bibleman) at my favorite "honey hole" site early this morning. I was just hoping to get one silver coin out of this spot today. I have been detecting this little spot for the past 7 weeks, and it has produced an enormous amount of silver/wheats for me. More than I could ever have expected. Curt has been a good luck charm to me on my past two hunts to this spot. I have netted 14 silvers while detecting with him, including 6 today! I never would have believed it if I didn't witness it with my own two eyes. And I finished my day off in style with a '44 Walking Liberty Half. The Walker didn't have the high tone silver sound. It sounded like a clad dime, but ID'ed like a typical half dollar, so I dug it. At around 6" down, I scooped a handful of dirt out of the ground, laid it on my mat, and saw the rim of a large silver....if you're an old coin hunter, hardly anything can match the excitement of seeing a large rimmed silver coin in your dirt pile. Right after digging the Walker, I told Curt I was calling it a day! My final tally was 6 Silver ('44 Walker, 3 Mercs('17, '41, '43), 2 Rosies('54, '64)), along with 9 Wheaties. Two of the wheats were semi-key daters; 1 chopped '14S and '11S.

Another fine day at the "silver park".....When will it go dry? Not even I know that. But I do know that I dug my 155th silver coin from this park this year. Oh Yes, and my streak...It's still alive at 34 straight silver hunts!!

It was good hunting with you today, Curt. You've definitely been a good luck charm to me.

Thanks for looking!
Keep The Passion High!!

Re: Big Silver Today!! 34 For 34!! (ties "Dom DiMaggio" of the '49 Red Sox)

Dan has tied DiMaggio! "Dom Dimaggio" that is:

Dom DiMaggio, 1949 Red Sox, 34 games
Streak: June 26 to August 7
Stopper: Vic Raschi, Yankees, August 9
Stats: 51-for-143 (.357), 35 runs, 10 doubles, two triples, three homers, 13 RBI, 21 walks, nine strikeouts, five stolen bases

His brother Joe, owner of the longest hitting streak in history, caught the fly ball that Dom hit in his final at-bat on August 9th, ending the 34-game streak three shy of the Red Sox record. Newspaper accounts report that Joe said, "Dom needed a lot of luck to break the record that I made. He had a good start and he's a good hitter, so I figured he had a chance. I knew he'd have to have luck, too. I had it '41 when I hit in 56 straight games." Reportedly, Joe took Dom out for a steak dinner to console him after the game. Boston pitcher Ellis Kinder delivered a two-out single in the eighth inning that prolonged the inning and allowed Dom one last chance to extend the streak, before Joe's catch ended it. Dom also enjoyed a 27-game hitting streak in 1951.

Thanks, Jim!! I was wondering who was next on the hit list, and you just posted this for me. Hope you can get some more detecting in, now that you're on the mainland.

Thanks, Nate. Yes, it was very surprising. Here I was listening for 9.5" whispers, and I get a signal like this. I'm glad I looked down at my Screen to see the "halfdollar" ID.
