Had a great day hunting here. Dug up 4 silver dimes and a silver quarter! Also went home with 15 wheat pennies and 2
sterling silver rings! Worked two different spots, both were sloped areas. What is great is that I can go back and work
this area again. This spot should produce some more wheaties and silver when I return next weekend!

OH that's ok C.H.F.! Think nothing of it, but since you brought it up, the rubbing that is, show us all the colonial stuff you've found out there. ;)

Must be nice out there in shake & bake USA! LOL

Great finds!

That tree looks pretty old,hot summer days a tree that large would give some serious shade....which would be a serious people magnet....which would seriously loose stuff....still wondering?:laughing7:

Lol I saw the tree but seems like that would not draw as much silver as you have found. Surely there would be more to the story. But I guess it could be. Mental note look for old trees! :)

WOW!! I was jealous when I saw you were hunting in a T-shirt..and that was before I saw you dug a ton of silver everything! Awesome hunt, I have been out here in Ohio, at 30-35 degrees here the ground is not frozen yet but it sure is cold! Congrats on a great hunt, and I also dig the great pics and the play-by-play...thanks ddf

I wore three layers of sweat shirts, carharts and a downed vest, ski cap and two layers of socks with feet warmers and I was warm too. Congrats on a great sliver day.

Really exciting number of silvers - Nice to know that in a population dense area like that, there's still plenty to be found ! the stones
in that ring look like either moonstones or Labradorite to me - that other ring got rode hard and put away wet .
