With about two feet of snow expected in my area in the next 48 hours or so, I decided that I would get out to my favorite woods for one last land hunt before the snow buries everything. Didn't manage much besides a clad dime- and after about 3 hours in sub-freezing temps I decided that I would head back. I was pretty discouraged and was thinking that FINALLY I would write this spot off as officially hunted out. I was nearly to the edge of the woods, still swinging the AT Pro when I got a strong high tone- an 88 bouncing between 8 and 10 inches of depth. Since this would be my last target of the winter, I decided to ignore the voice in my head that was saying "it's probably aluminum junk." I started to dig. I was really happy to see a quarter - but then realized that it was too shiny to be clad- it was a silver! When I got the pinpointer in the hole I realized that there were a few more targets- another quarter, a Merc and a couple of wheats. Easily my best spill ever. The silvers were 1943 and 1945 Washingtons and a 1943 Merc. Thanks for looking and good luck to all.

Great spill and not too shabby to close out the winter on a high note like that!

Congrats!
 

A silver spill....wow..I cant imagine...someday soon I hope. Congrats on yours, and enjoy the snow.
 

Nice finds congrats on the great silver score and thanks for sharing.
 

Yeayhh! Wicked nice silver spill. I'm going through withdrawals from silver with the snow and ice preventing decent detecting.

Congrats buddy. Luck usually has less to do with nice finds like yours. More like perseverance, a lot of time out there, and yeah, a bit of luck;)
 

sweet silver spill, congrats
 

Very nice silvers. Congrats on braving the cold to find the treasure. GL&HH!
 

I keep saying, we might as well stop hunting throughout the day and just start "on the way back to the car". ;)

Nice!
 

It's always awesome when you find a few hunts worth of silver in one outing. Great job bud. Good to hear from you
 

Way to beat the Storm and no better motivator to get back out after the thaw! We are snowed in here now, but I had 5-6 Pretty Good January days. Thanks for the view and CONGRATS!!
 

Way to end on a high note and a high tone. :D

Best of luck weathering the snow. The blizzard is about to start here.....
 

Good decision to stop and dig. That's a great way to end the hunt. Nice job!
 

I know that felt good, ha, I can almost feel it but the jellyousness (quote-Carolina Tom) is clouding my feelings, lol.
 

Now that's what I call straight DETERMINATION in those conditions! Congratulations on your silver spill! HH

Congratulations on the silver spill find! In my MA area, we received a "nice" 28 inches of snow.
 

Silverspills are always fun. I've only had 2 tho
 

Damn....*Bowing Down To The Gods Of The Spills* for them to bless my path to find one of them like yours but the yellow kind... :) ....Nice Hunt!!!
