Got out with Lookindown with permission to a 1918 house. Found some nice relics and a four silver coin spill. Three Mercs and a Rosie. We had a great time. Check out the video below....



Finding silver isn't easy here in central Florida but my goal this year was ten silver coins on land and ten gold at the beach. I'm already half way there on the silver and spring break is just around the corner to get started on the gold. Thanks for looking.

Those are really cool. That was exactly the kind of silver spill I found except it was two of each plus 6 wheats.

I am surprised that there isn't good silver there after reading Tom Dankowski's experiences digging in Florida.

I keep hoping for a silver coin spill. Heck, I would be tickled finding just two in the hole. Very exciting it must have been to find four. Very nice.

Great spill! Silver spills are cool. I had a clad quarter spill last year. Six quarters, two dimes, two nickles, and a zincoln.

Good stuff, I had a coin spill very early on when I started. It spoiled me because I was disappointed at sites after that when I couldn't duplicate it. I got excited just watching your video, congrats!

Nice find on the pocket spill- I know the feeling, last year I found 3 mercy (1917,1919,1920 and a v nickel in the same hole! A great feeling and that's why we're out there swinging- good luck in 2015.

There's no better way to get your heart beating than a signal still in the hole you just aired silver

There probably is lots of silver here in Florida but the thing is we water hunt about 8 months out of the year so we don't get a lot of land hunting in. I do love finding silver though so I was just putting a low number out there and then try to improve each year. Congrats to you too. I think a 10 coin spill is few and far between anywhere.

Congrats on a great find and a very nice live dig video!

Thanks Digger... I got the GoPro and my son bought me a head mount and I kinda forget it's up there. It makes it so much easier to film hands free. I can't say enough great things about the GoPro. I hope to do some water filming with it this summer when we go after the gold.
