I went out early on Saturday morning with Smittyman. He was sporting his lucky "silver fox" hairdo, which can mean only one thing: Some silver is going to show up!

We have been hunting a place where an old neighborhood once stood. There is a lot of trash in the ground, especially aluminum 40oz bottle caps. The former tenants were a thirsty lot.

There is an especially bad area, right under a power line. The machine buzzes from the power line and there is a lot of aluminum trash in the ground. The other boys found nothing here. I decided to dig ALL repeatable signals, and see what happened.

After about (30) holes, I saw this gentleman looking up at me. I could immediately see that it was a silver Washington quarter.

Thrilled that my strategy yielded some silver, I proceeded ahead digging all repeatable signals. About a half hour later, I was greeted with the site of another silver quarter in the dirt!

Neither of the coins was a "good" signal. If you are not digging a lot of holes, you are missing good targets! There is treasure in the trash!

Thanks for looking and best of luck on your hunts.

Congrats on the pair of Washington's Tom. I agree with you. You have to dig a lot to find a lot. Cant be lazy in this hobby.
 

Great hunt!! Persistence and knowledge surely paid off. I consider the multiple digs as my sod aeration program...:thumbsup:
 

Digging two silver Washingtons in a day is good anyday, saving two out of the trash even better.
Congrats on a good day!!
