    North of I-80 Silver

    Few hours hunting yesterday. Hit an old picnic grove that was completely littered with pulltabs. Never seen so many in my life. Every hole had at least 2 pulltabs in it. Managed to pull a 14gram silver bracelet and then the '58 washington that I badly sliced not thinking it would be silver. I've never had such a hard spot to detect but working my way through the junk was worth it!

    I dug all 3 silver Georgies that existed north of I-80 by the late '90's.... Are you sure you're really finding those?

    Hows the knees, the back, and your digging hand. Man that's a lot of getting up and down and digging. I'm just jealous, my old knees just couldn't handle that.
    Congrates on all the finds. Rick
