I was up working last night still fighting this cold and something told me to go try one more time to shell island in the swamp. The last 3 times I went I blanked. So I put the 6” on the 800 and started swinging I began to get desperate and digging iffy signals and it wasn’t working. After 2 hours I told myself to trust the machine and if I don’t get a solid signal we’ll then so be it. I was so exhausted digging those shells and being sick, well all of a sudden I get a solid 19 and went at it. I saw this small thing that I thought was a washer. Put it in my mouth looked at it and couldn’t believe my good fortune. I did it!!!! I was persistent because I knew something else HAD to be there. The 800 has been good to me on small silver, I’ve pulled 2 Capped Bust Half Dimes, 3 Half Reals, 1787 1 Reales a 1840 Half Liberty Dime and last but not least my 1852 Trime. I believe that all the smallest silver coins there is. I got very lucky. The more I work the luckier I get. Unbelievable...I have to learnt dig less and trust my machine more.

Great job Bud! I've only found one, and didn't even know what it was at the time. Welcome to the club!

I appreciate that relic it was so small I was waiting to see a little hole in the middle for a little washer when I didn’t see that hole it went right in the mouth. What an awesome feeling I appreciate your support.
 

Im a little jelly. That little bugger has eluded me so far. Maybe this will be the year tho. Congrats on weee little silver of epicness

This little sucker is been a thorn in my ass for a while I’m grateful to have it. I wish you all the luck in the world this year my friend
