My Best Silver Day Ever! I don't think I'll ever top it!

Hello everyone, right after lunch today my friend Steve called me and asked if I wanted to meet up with hiim and hunt an old school he just got permission to hunt. I told him I had a few things to take care of and I would meet him on the site. I was there for maybe 20 minutes when I got my first silver signal, it was a rosie, I went a little further and got another good tone and got a merc. at this point I'm starting to feel bad because Steve hadn't gotten any silver yet, do I told him to finish my pass and I would move to another spot. well, I moved and the first signal I got was another merc! I did this several times and every time I would move to another area so Steve could hunt the areas that were producing I would find more and more silver! so finally I gave up and just started gridding the area and to make a long story short, I found a total of 14 silvers(2 quarters and 12 dimes) this is my best silver day ever! my one day silver record was 8 silvers in one day, I kinda blew that outta the water! LOL!!! I couldn't even tell you how many wheats we pulled today! my pouch is full! and so is Steve's!! I also got an early wheat spill with an Indian penny in it! I may have gotten others, but there were so many pennies and silver signals I just started putting everything that wasn't silver in the outer pocket of my pouch. I dug three full pouches of trash! towards the end of the hunt I was just digging every signal that wasn't iron so I could get things out out of the way. we will definitely be going back to that spot!!!! and before anybody says I was hogging the silver, after I got to five silvers,(I literally was trying to not find silver) Steve and our buddy Chris(Goldinwater) were rooting me on to see if I could have my best silver day ever. for some reason I was just ON today.

p.s. I would like to say thanks to Steve if he reads this, I thanked him profusely at the site, but I just want it in writing! Steve's a great guy, and he did get two silvers, and merc and a rosie.

CONGRATS! :hello2: :hello2: :hello2:

On a spot like that I think it might be worth the effort to clear out even the iron. It could be masking some good signals ..gold or silver or something special!

Nice. I usually never get more than 1 silver every time I hunt. A lot of times I get no silver, so this is amazing.

Yep me too. A 1 silver day for me is happy dance day.

14 is a great haul

Congrats

Thanks everyone for the well wishes! Art, the funny thing about this site is that the property owner told Steve he probably wouldn't find anything because he's let "a ton of guys" detect it. I don't what kind of machine those other guys were using, but I would like to know so I make sure I never buy one! LOL!!!
