Skunked detecting, so hit my banks...

[fistfulladirt]

...and killed an oz and a half, more silver in half a day than a year detecting.
Was totally bummed though, my fav teller whispered that she just previously sold a lady collector 3 rolls of solid silver quarters, $30. I kept my cool but asked her why she didn't call me. "Well, I thought you only liked the dimes and halves".

Well that is bittersweet isn't it?

Nice job Fist! That sucks about the Quarters though, it sucks to hear those words " I just had some_ _ _ _ and just sold them". HH, Maverick.

Sweet.. Someone on here once said... Coin roll Hunting=quantity Metal Detecting=Quality.. I think there is a lot of truth to that.. I will never quit metal detecting simply because it is a better experience and there is not much of a chance finding a Draped Bust in a roll...

What was your blood pressure?

I agree, got my oldest find last week



In pretty good condition for it's age.
Btw it's a large cent.

I dug a clad quarter that had been painted maroon, and left in the dirt 30 years. I thought I had a large cent! nice find - I'll report my finds via MDing for sure.

Sweet I am still looking for my first Large Cent.. I thought I had one, but it was actually a 1773 Virginia Half Penny.. You wont hear any complaints from me even though the coin is completely corroded.

That's a killer find, got me by 51 years lol. My lc was at 14" just gave me a chirp, but I kept digging. I hit the beach yesterday (hunted in the water) and today and did quite well.



Yesterdays hunt



Today's hunt, chain is gold only 1 gm.

Wow... great finds... I am assuming you were on the east coast and sandy exposed some silver. I am desperately trying to get down to the shore but just don't have the time. My friend found two half reales there a couple days ago...

No I'm on lake Michigan, sandy brought us 26 foot waves exposing the oldies. My buddy that I was hunting with today popped a 35 walker, a Washington 2 mercs and a war nickel.

I gotta pop some shwiiz outta the ground!

It feels great that someone makes a quote out of my words.

Congrats Seener! I've dug two largies, one in a yard and one in a county park. My oldest find is a spanish silver dated 1758. Dug that here in Michigan.

 

[treeslayer]

nice score!! take what you can get . I still think its better to find silver dirt hunting. I find alot of silver scuba diving and to me I enjoy finding it coinroll hunting but detecting is the best. But it all adds to the pile. HH and good luck. Brian

Even when out roll hunting, Minelab is in the trunk ready to go.

That's how I roll too, you never know when you might run into a sidewalk tear-out.
