Well, I've got over a month to go to hit my goal of 100 silver coins for the year. Right now I'm at 99 ~ only one more to go!

I've been out detecting on my lunch break the last two days and I can't seem to find a silver coin! I've dug a couple wheats cents and some clad. I did get a piece of silver though ~ a pretty BIG piece of silver! A baby spoon marked STERLING! I bet it weighs about 15 grams! The "handle" is coiled up ~ was it made like that, or did someone bend it like that?! It fits perfectly around my finger ~ I think it was made that way, right? Anyway . . . . its also marked "WEB". Is that the name of the company that made it?

I guess I need to pray harder to the treasure gods so I can dig my silver coin #100! When I find #100 hopefully it's a good one ~ not just some common Rosie dime!

Thanks for looking!
Neil

Nice hunk of silver . I think its a junkys spoon I know how you hate that >:( maybe I am wrong? nice find congrats :thumbsup:
 

That's quite a spoon Neil!!
Sorry, but it does look like a junkie's spoon. :'(
It is built heavy and looks like it would weigh every bit of 15 grams.
Keep diggin for that 100th silver coin.... you will make it. Gold Nuggets :icon_jokercolor:
 

Yes the handle was made that way so a baby could hold it in his fist. It is probably very old.
 

Should it come to this...and that 100th silver coin remains elusive...that spoon is worth a handful of Rosies!
 

Neil,
I think tradition would say you must do a "Silver Dance" at night under a full moon, in your boxers. You must then post it on YouTube.
This will pave the way for your 100th to be a Morgan!

Good Luck, and please do not post the url to the video if you do this!

O C

I wish you luck,,

Every year I have the same goal 100 Silver coins.

2006 was 154
2007 was 68
2008  93  7 more to 100

Every hole I dig now " Come on be silver "
 

Neil, at this time of the year, I'll take ANY kind of silver I can find :D :D

I know what you mean by wanting that 100th silver to be a good one (I predict it'll be a Merc ::))

Good luck!

Junkies spoon would be burnt in the bowl of the spoon though...Kid spoon I think..And I will throw in a Morgan on your next dig..That kid had to have dropped one with that spoon. :tongue3: jgas

THANKS!!

Yeah, I'm hoping to go out some this weekend! Hopefully I can find #100!!! Plus some!
 

Man I hope you can hit your mark!!! I am trying to get 35 for the year, but I am only at 29 so I don't think I will make it before the ground freezes. I atleast wanna make 30... :icon_pirat:
