Not Mine

Everybody seems to be finding BIG silver except me. I did get a Silver Eagle at a convenient store on my way to go metal detecting. And I've seen the kid dig two Big silvers.
Now yesterday looking for a new permission I talk to the owner of a possible new site and he tells me you won't find anything. Tells me he's cleaned the yard out, then tells me his best find was a Morgan Silver dollar??

Do I want one too much? , should I just forget about a Big silver and act like I don't want one. Lol

This hobby is feast or famine. So put your bib on and belly up the table 'cause your silver dinner is a'comin'. Keep asking for permissions. Odds are in your favor! Sub

I know sooner or later it will happen.lol

Take today for example, the kid and I are working a yard side by side. I find a merc and the kid finds his third BIG silver for the year feet...from me

Yo DS... no worries, at the rate you are going, you will find a half within 6 months. Mark my word.

Next week will be my one year anniversary of my first silver coin, since then, I have found (2) Walkers, (1) Franklin and part of another Walker. Beez0404 (of TNet) found a Morgan, (2) Barber halves, Walker and Franklin in the last 9 months.

The Walkers appear fairly regularly, just give it some time, and one of those holes will be loaded for bear! GL&HH.

I've gone from finding epic treasures every day for a week straight to finding absolutely nothing for a week straight. It's all just a matter of luck 90% of the time. The other 10% comes from perseverance. Also a little research every now and then doesn't hurt.

I understand how all this metal detecting works. Lol

There's just sometching about that Big silver and my own kid doesn't help matters out. I posted this thread before we went metal detecting today. A couple hours later look what the kid finds.

Damn kids lol. I went through a long stretch pulling large cents and kgs but I could not for the life of me get over an early silver....as Iron Patch kindly pointed out ALL THE TIME lol. Then all of a sudden I found a couple of 2 Reales. So keep digging my man. It's just a numbers game and at some point you will have your big silver. And likely a monstrous one that's super rare. Seems to be how thinGS go in this crazy hobby

Research will pay off. Your in the NEW ENGLAND area! Might not find a Morgan, but there is much other silver. More Morgans found further west for some reason. You have higher possibilities for halves, quarters, large cents, colonials and such. Travel a little north or south and increase your chances of what you want. Be patient and optimistic. I've have found a 1966 Canadian silver dollar and a Bicentennial Ike dollar, but never a Morgan. Also, never found a half dollar. Those are on my bucket list, among others. Your luck will come when you LEAST expect it!

Oh there's plenty of Big silver here. The boy has found 3 this year with me with in spitting distance of him when he found them. Lol

I'm jinxed when it comes to Big silver. Lol
