3 Hunts, 12 silvers, 6 IH's + Silver ring

Well, I haven't been able to post after my last couple of hunts due to my mom going to Poland and taking my "easy" to use camera. So I just borrowed my dads Sony cyber-shot and here is the pics of my last 3 hunts from last Wed., Fri., and a 2 hr hunt today.
The first pic is of all the finds (- the 1865 & wheaties)...Over 30 wheaties found as well.

I've been hunting areas that are REALLY trashy lately, and after consulting with another Fine MD'er here on T-net......Kimsdad......I went back to the area where I found my first seated this year, and I started finding wheatie after wheatie, along with 7 silvers. The silvers out of this spot include: '45 &'53 SWQ, '44-d War nickel, '17-3, '41, & '43 Mercs, & '54-d Roosie. I also found a pocket spill which included around 20 quarters, 10 dimes, and a bunch of pennies......I also found part of an old toy train next to it, so maybe it was some kids time capsule... :dontknow: :laughing7:

The second spot I discovered yielded a '08 Barber dime, '44 Merc, and the 1865 IH...My OLDEST COIN. :hello2:
Must wait until next spring to hit this spot, as I think it may be a virgin spot, but is very overgrown with undergrowth at the time.

The third spot is a new spot as well. I hunted it for a couple of hours today in between the rain. Nice thing is that it's right down the street from my apt. It yielded: mint '41 Merc, '58-d & 64 Roosies, '02, '03, '04, '06, & '07 IH's and the big mens Sterling .925 ring. I also found a "HILL SUSPENDER" which has a patent date on the back of it of " 2 1890 " I hope I can find another seated out of this spot. Nice knowing that some of these new spots are producing, and I can't wait until the spring to hit these spots when the undergrowth is gone!

I hope you guys enjoy the pics, and I look forward to hunting with many of you in the future. :hello:

Thanks Neil for "inspiring" me and making me become a true "Believer" :thumbsup:

Wow, great haul Jon! So can we get a hint on "the SECRET"? Does it involve one of the following?

a) Gear selection
b) TechNEEK
c) The Law of Attraction
d) None of the above
e) All of the above, only when none of the above is excluded

Congrats on some sweet finds!!

Congratulations on 200 mark. With all of those silver finds and all your experience, can't we persuade you to stay OUT of the water :)
Great job
