Video & Photos Of LI Tom and Ricardo’s Final Bid To Raise The Count

I posted my final/recap with a silver count of 51. I should’ve waited just a few more days as Tom mentioned. On December 25th, I ventured out to pick up one merc from a small local park. On December 29th, LI Tom and I had our best and most productive hunt to date. The rain had really brought out the signals and the silver was flowing out. Tom ended up with four mercs, and I had myself three, a Rosie and a Standing Liberty Quarter for a total of five. We went out again on the 31st and I ended up with one more Rosie and Merc. Total count was raised to 59. Below is a short video shot on the 29th. I put it together quickly, but I hope you guys enjoy it. Photos are also attached.

You two guys rock. Ricardo, fantastic job putting that together. Great way to end the year. I'm taking all next week off just to get away from work. I have the days and I'm using them. I'll be out there digging everyday cold weather, snow, wind, rain........ I don't care. Watching your video just made me more fanatical about my upcoming 9 days of no work and all digging. No bus rides next week, unless I'm coming up to meet you guys. ;)

Re: Video & Photos Of LI Tom and Ricardo’s Final Bid To Raise The Count

Loved the video Ricardo....But still think that 25' is the best looking SLQ I've ever seen.
 

Re: Video & Photos Of LI Tom and Ricardo’s Final Bid To Raise The Count

Very Sweet deal on the SLQ. I found a few this year but all dateless. :P Fun to have a day when you and your partner find multiple silver. ;D

Hey Ricardo! Excellent video!!! Fantastic music too! Having done a couple of these I know much work it takes but you have a great talent for it. Very nicely produced.

I have to say again that the SLQ is the best one I've ever seen someone dig out of the ground. Can't believe you have 2 this year and both with dates too?

Awesome. Can't wait to dig with you guys again :) Actually, the weather this weekend is looking pretty good :D
