First hunt after being down with poisen ivy so I was anxious to get some silver!!! Well I finally made my way to a set of woods that I have been eye ballin for some time now. I was a little hesitant because it was either going to be good or a bust as nothing is really in the area just a clearing in an old areal pix. I was in a rush and jumped all around so when I have more time I will definitely go back and do a more thorough hunt. :icon_pirat:

Congrats on the silvers!
Looks to be a promising site.
I hope the weather holds up long enough for you to dig a silver half out of there!

Nice digs, Kermit!

Glad you were able to finally get out again and line your pockets with the silver.

I'd guess the find is from the 50's. Hope that helps you out.

Well good enough to get you back in the mix Kermit, but then you go and hit the shinies!

Great hunt!

Nice job on the research, and AWESOME coins (even though they are only 30's and 40's silvers)...LOL, I'm just busting' your chops buddy! That's a great day in my book! Sure beats my finds from a 4-hour woods hunt yesterday...
