It's Raining SILVER!! 12 Silver Day! ~ 18 Total Silver, 49 Wheats!!

Hello Everyone!

Today was just one of those days that I was in the zone. I wasn't quite sure where I was going to detect this morning, until Val (DanaPointVal) called me and said he wanted to go out detecting if I was going somewhere. I suggested somewhere local, like maybe his researched spot that he found last year, where he and Jayson (staydetuned) raped and pillaged the silver there. Val said, "Let's give it a try"! I was excited. The heavy rains from the prior days really saturated the ground, and it felt like I could hear every little fluty signal in the ground down to 10" with my SE. I just knew this was going to be a good day when my very first signal was a Rosie and a wheat in the same hole at 8+". The next few hours, I started pulling silver out of the ground like it was the good old days. Many were between 7-9 inches. Just a very faint, fluty signal. I ended the day with 11 silver dimes (6 Rosies, 5 Mercurys), along with 20 something wheats, and a sterling leaf earring. The other silver and wheats in my second pic were from two previous hunts. A couple of Mercs came from Dr. Joe's Erosion Beach, and a few more, including the small silver earring, came from a local 50's park I hunted yesterday.

Val, thanks for agreeing to hunt your spot. It was a killer day for me. I know I wouldn't have been able to do as well anywhere else. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: It's really hard to have days like this anymore around here. I will relish this one for a while.

Oh, today's silver put me well over the 2 year, 1000 silver coin mark since I purchased my SE back in '07. :headbang: Today was a great ending to another fantastic year of metal detecting for the DEEP coinage here in S. Cal!! :occasion18:

Thanks for looking, and Happy Holidays to All!!

HH,
CAPTN SE
Dan

Dan, BIG CONGRATS on surpassing your 1000th Silver coin with the SE. It's an amazing remarkable feat and definitely proves it's skill and the right machine...no luck involved. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Can you estimate how many holes that took? Between 5000 to 10,000? Yikes I know you've mentioned how many wheats you have...but the number is so large it leaves my memory almost immediately!

Who needs 50 in a row when you can pop out a dozen on a whim! ;D That moisture in the soil is man's best friend, no matter what else may lay claim to it.
