Mom was planting flowers in her garden, dug 5 holes and found one. But she won't let me aerate the soil. Oh well. :(

And she wasn't even lookin for silver! (what kind of flowers?)

I'm thinking the number of holes to be dug is related to just how bad did you wanna find silver, anyway?

Hey, Bob, that worked out well for you. Maybe I'll start my own thread and name it "How many holes to dig a spanish reale????". Do you think that would work for me? ;) :D

i am working on a pocket sized back-hoe. remote control with a metal detector on it. solar and battery powered. later on i will build in auto-pilot and pre-programming with GPS and it will also have Lo-Jack. That should take a little of the dirty work out of it for me.......:}

usually every 4th hole has silver in it, maybe you are not digging in the right spot
