Hello TNettters. I have been on a little bit of a silver drought. I found my last silver coin on 12.26.14. The weather and work have not been cooperating with me. Fear not, the drought is over.
SATURDAY:
I went hunting with Smittyman. We went to a 1907 house that he had permission to hunt. Smittyman's first target, silver Rosie... 10 minutes later, he dug another one. I had not dug a silver in three weeks, so I was just stunned that he would do that right in front of me. I dug nothing but modern clad and three wheaties. After lunch I went to the back of the house (so I didn't have to watch Smitty digging silver coins) and got a weird looking bullet and not much else, then bang, nice high tone, and out pops a 925 and onyx ring. Whew, finally found something worth keeping.
SUNDAY:
I met Todd Lipe for a bit of hunting in Kannapolis NC, home of Dale Earnhardt, and boy does it show. Yikes. We hit a couple spots that he had lined up for us. I was able to get the first silver coin of the year, a 1937 Quarter, that silver was a sight for sore eyes. I also managed to scratch up three wheaties and one Canadian cent. I found an FDR token, I assume from The Little White House in Warm Springs, Ga. because that is what is written on the reverse.
Thanks for looking and good luck on your hunts!
