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.

What an amazing silver haul! :headbang:

That was an awesome hunt, 8 silver coins in one hunt is hard to beat anywhere in the world! Good luck if you can get back there, dig those iffy signals. Congrats and HH, Mike

I also had an 8 silver day once. It was my best day and like you, I was on fire. My buddy struggled just like yours did. He ended up with none! I felt real bad and it made it hard to get too excited about my day. You had an awesome hunt for sure! :headbang:

Well, If it's not raining in the morning Steve, Chris(Goldinwater) and I are going back to the site and try to pull a few more silvers! I've done some research and found where the athletic field was located(we didn't even make it anywhere near that part) so hopefully it's like the rest of the place! hee hee!! if I find anything I'll post tomorrow.

p.s. I counted my wheats and I found 23 wheat pennies all teens twenties,and thirties, one 1902 Indian head penny, a Junior Police badge, a marble, two clad quarters, two clad dimes, and another 20+ something Memorial pannies yesterday. Oh, and three full pouches(about 20 pounds) of iron, copper and brass bits, and can slaw! LOL!!!!
