Finally dug my 1,000th Silver coin , today....

[basssmann]

I have been a bass fisherman for about 40 years... That's why, I'm basssmann...

29 years ago, a friend started taking me detecting. I still did more fishing, than detecting, but, found some silver every year.

I started this week, needing 4 more Silver's to hit 1,000 , lifetime..

It was slow going, only digging 1 silver a day

# 997 was a 1928 Merc. Dime

# 998 was a 1909 Barber Dime

# 999 was a 1916 Merc. Dime ( no D )

Today, I needed 1 more for 1,000 and I didn't want it to be a Rosie (but, I would take it.. lol )

So, I went back to an old spot, where I hoped to find a Merc or Barber Dime.

First, I found 2 Indianheads stuck together, 1889 and ? .. the next target , I though was a silver dime, and out pop's a Barber quarter

# 1,000 a 1904 Barber Quarter in great condition except for stains on the face.

Just so you know, I never found more that 8 silver's in a day.. A few here and there, all add up.. ( And I still have all 1,000 silver's)













To dig 1,000 silvers, you have to dig dozen's of buckets of scrap like this one !!!

Steve in PA, now that I have 1,ooo, I want to go after more of the stuff "Your finding" !! 60 plus Spanish silver !!! WOW I have none and Draped and Capped bust dimes, are still on my bucketlist to find... My area is great for Barber's with over 15 % of my silver Barbers.

Congratulations on the 1000th and being a Barber Quarter was the best!!!

 

[HighVDI]

Very awesome milestone! Definitely shows some hard work and dedication. Nice to break 1k with the Barber quarter too!

 

[FreeBirdTim]

I average about 10 silver coins a year, so I should reach 1,000 when I'm 150 years old! LOL!

 

[A2coins]

Good job!!! I got a ways to go to get to 1000 Well done my Friend

 

[basssmann]

thanks Tommy... A2coins... your young yet... I didn't start detecting until I was 38 years old, now , I'm 67... but, retired, so I have time.

That's a tremendous lifetime achievement Basssmann. Anyone who can reel in 1000 silvers deserves some special credit. Congratulations on this wonderful milestone.
PS- I hope you still find time for some bass fishing. Fishing for striped bass and bluefish in and around Boston harbor is my second favorite hobby. Cheers!

Congratts Basssman,
Your right on the spot about having to fill a bucket to get some good stuff but man, when you do it feels good!

 

[Centsless Detecting]

Congrats on the milestone Basss. I can count my silvers on one hand still lol
And to top it off what a fine example with that beauty of a Barber

 

[against the wind]

1,000 Silver Coins is quite an accomplishment.
Well done and Congratulations
