I was out at a Chicago park with GOIO,T-manfromTexas,and TreasureFiend...For a 7 hour hunt today.....
We ALL found silver....but I was one short of my 2009 goal of 200 silvers for the year........
I had found a rosie and a merc.....(See TreasureFiends newest video when he posts it)...GOIO found #207 & 208 for HIS pile...But I was one short.......I had my HD camera taking footage as well just incase I found #200.....
TreasureFiend had to get some sleep for work so we parted ways....On the way home GOIO asked if I wanted to try my luck at onother place we had some luck with last year....I wanted to get that #200 so bad I could just taste it.....We stoped at yet another Chicago park closer to home.....Had hunted for about an hour
when I got a sweet silver signal....I pulled out my Creative Vado HD Camcorder and took a screenshot of my E-Trac the numbers bouncing but sounding sweet......Hope its not a Clad Quarter @5-6"....Or worse yet a memorial....(They were really sounding sweet today...I was digging wheats at 4-5" and digging mems at 6-8"
...........
Anyway......I shut the camcorder off while I dug.....Opened the hole,,,and turned the camcorder back on I already had unplugged my headphones,and had my SunRay pinpointer ready........I scanned the plug.......Nothing ...I rescanned (as it was about a 6" deep plug)....again .....Nothing....Feeling some anxioty
I put the probe in the hole.....And it sang ...S-I-L-V-E-R........As I moved the probe it brushed the dirt away,,,,and I seen the
S-H-I-N-E-Y 
.... 
....wHEW releif my goal of my 200th silver..(a 1964d Washington Quarter)..........................I got to my 100th silver,,on May 16,,GOIO was 8 ahead of me then,,It was a 1964 rosie If I recall) I don't know how many hours the first 100 took (But I know I put alot of time in),and did not start logging my hours ...Till I started on my 101st.....I have logged a total of 301 hours to find the next....100 silver.
Now I can relax and go for my other 4 goals....1000 wheats....have 881 now,,,,50 Indians....(To make a Roll)..have 44 now........40 Buffallo Nickles..(To make a Roll)...Have 15 now,,,,and 40 V nickles (To make a Roll)....Have ---25--- NOW.....Wish me Luck on them.
I will try to get my video uploaded to YouTube,,,,,(With the help of TreasureFiend)
Happy Hunting ALL
