I haven't posted lately because there hasn't been much of interest to show. There isn't anything particular special today, either, but I wanted to use my experiences the last few days to share and/or reinforce a lesson. I'm starting to believe that the "easy" silver at the silver farm has been harvested, for the most part. There are still many areas of overgrowth, places where cottages once stood proudly; floods and other ravages of time have removed them, and the plot of ground where they stood hasn't been trimmed in ages. I've been going back over areas that I hit in the summer, when the ground was dry, and I'm doing it perpendicular to the direction I used the first time. This isn't bringing up much silver, but I am finding wheats. I'm digging signals that I might have overlooked the first time, or not even heard, and being more deliberate. I also did this in my front yard yesterday; I've gone over it every which way in the last three years, and I still pulled a 34 wheat yesterday. I also found this jewelry type wire; it was two or three inches down and clean as a whistle. I think it is gold, but there aren't markings. I assume that whatever other pieces that were attached to it had markings on them. You can't see it, but there is a loop on one end of what looks otherwise like wire. This isn't wire. Today at the farm I added three wheats, a 45P war nickel and what looks to me like a fishing lure. It says DARDEVLE SKEETER on the back. We've had overnight freezes, but afternoons have been warming up enough to dig, so my season isn't over yet!
As proof that my mind is going, I have to add information about the milestone I mentioned. As you will notice at the bottom of my posts, I am closing in on 400 wheats at the silver farm in the last six months. I hit 100 silvers a few weeks ago, so I guess approximately a 4:1 ratio isn't bad.
