I was lucky enough to find the silver dime trifecta over the weekend, it took two days, but I'm kinda slow. I also entered the 1800s silver club. It was a good weekend for me!
Saturday:
Todd Lipe invited me to come up and hunt with him on one of his "guaranteed to find silver coins hunts". How could I resist an invite like that? I was able to find a pocketknife, front end off of a big Tootsie, Merc and barber dimes, two wheats and a Canadian cent and a marble. The marble is the raw material from which fiberglass is made. Tylerbdad ID'd it for me. He said that as a boy he got them from a guy at the local mill, and used them as "shooters". You never know what will turn up.
Sunday:
Todd Lipe, Kurt Stuben and I met up at 8:00AM on Sunday, and we headed to one of my super secret silver honey holes. Todd wasn't out of the car for 10 minutes, and I hear the shrill squeal of "... silvah... silvah..." He had found his first silver coin with his Deus! I got a Rosie, seven wheat cents and an Arby's token. It was getting hot, so we headed home a little after 1:00.
YTD silver count: 24
Thanks for looking and good luck on your hunts.
