Seven Silver Saturday Puts Me At Over 100 FTY

[Sooper Dave]

I found an old school on the map that looked pretty good. I went there Thursday after work and dug a few wheats along with a Rosie, Merc and a War Nickel. It's big property but the signals are spread out. After the hunt on Thursday I was at 98 dug silver for the year. So yesterday afternoon I went out there again with my little girl to try and find a couple of silver to hit 100. The first thing I found was the Theodore Roosevelt token that left a cool green patina in the dirt. It was slow after that but I got a sweet signal and dug a nice Merc. So we just needed one more silver to reach our goal. We went down to the old ball field and found a couple of deep clad quarters and memorials. Not long after we got another sweet signal and out popped another Merc making 100 FTY! We were thrilled as it was getting dark and we hit our goal. The sun was quickly going down and we kept hunting around the outer edges of the field. We ended up digging 5 more Mercs in an area about 15'x15', It was so much fun digging those out in the dark with my daughter holding my phone using it for light. It was getting very cold but she kept saying dig one more daddy! HH David

Man that's alot of Silver Coins To dig in a year 'these Days' IMO

Think I have only Dug 3 Silver Coins this Year with 2 being in the last 2 weeks.

The first one was a Small Half Dime In great Condition, So I happy with That.

158 a few seasons ago. It was with the v3i too. I've found 88 silvers in the past 3 months since trading for a etrac. I think I have a shot to beat it this yr weather pending. I just came up with two more sites that are showing silver. Its really hard to even get 100 anymore.


Congrats again you had a great yr.

158 is awesome! The Etrac is an incredible machine! That's what I've been swinging for two years now and I love it. 88 in three months is unreal, great job! I hope the weather cooperates for you to beat your record. Good luck!

Thanks! I did that last year. I will wait until the year end total. It will be a lot of work tho as I put them all in vinyl flips with a card on where & when I found each coin. But it looks so awesome!
