I was able to con(vince) TNetter, P@tch, to take me hunting this weekend. He assured me that it would be one of his patented, "guaranteed to find silver" hunts... and let me tell you, he did not disappoint. We hunted all day Saturday and half the day Sunday.
Let's get the boring stuff out of the way first. I dug a ton of trash and a bunch of clad. I also got a few "relics".
I also dug some wheaties... one had a square nail hole in it.
Now, on to the good stuff! At the first spot, first half hour, hunting the old curb strip in front of the park. I found this cobra, at first, I'm just not sure that it is real, but after I cleaned it up, sure enough, urban silver! 7.5 grams of brotherly love!
I went into the park, and dug some random signals. One of them was a coin spill, two quarters, several cents, nickel, dime and '94 Kennedy half. The quarter was laying against the half, which left a silver spot on the half, for about two seconds... I thought I had a silver half... not to be though.
We went to a spot (house w/ large yard) that we have hunted (25) times. It has given up all sorts of goodies, and still coughs up one occasionally. This signal was not good, because of rusty nails in the hole. Once the nails were removed, there was a deep high tone, it turned out to be this dateless SLQ. Only the second one I have found. I was thrilled. P@tch laughed at me!
I got a couple of Indians during the hunt too. Two different location, that's why they look so different.
This hole had nails, trash and a mercury dime in it!
This was a very good weekend for me, and I owe a debt of gratitude to P@tch. Thanks buddy! I am quite proud of the three pieces of silver I was able to bring home.
Both silver coins had trash in the hole, they were NOT good signals. If I didn't dig the bad signals, I wouldn't be smiling today. That's a hint!
Thanks for looking, and best of luck on your hunts!

The SLQ continues to elude me.
Looks like you found a few weeks worth of keepers in a day and a half. I wonder how many more great find you'd score if the Deus had a small sniper coil available.
