I met up with my buddy Micah yesterday to hunt a spot we wanted to try about an hour away. We got started around an area that we thought would be productive, but the ground was hard packed and didn't have a lot of good signals, but Micah got things going with a Rosie. We moved over to another area and started to find some keepers. In no time at all Micah had 3 Rosies and a Washington and I had dug an old Green River Whiskey watch fob and a Union Ice Cream good luck medal. I finally got a silver with a very nice Barber Dime and after that I dug several Mercs. It was very hot so we took a break in the shade and was talking about how well we were doing and hoped the rest of the hunt went as well. We got back to hunting and right by our shade tree Micah dug another Washington just under the surface and I dug another Merc. We moved to the front of the place and I went down to the lower corner of the property. I wasn't getting much until about time to leave, I got a great sounding signal and dug the 37 Walker. I was so excited to see that big silver in the hole, I took some pics and moved on. Not even 15' away my next signal was screaming half dollar on the Etrac. I thought to myself as I was digging that there is no way this is another half. I about fell over when I saw the Franklin there in my plug. I took my pics, got up checked my hole and there was more, I pulled out the Washington and a wheat as well. I couldn't stay focused after that but managed to dig a Rosie next to that hole for the dime trifecta and my last dig was the silver cuff link which is something I've been wanting to dig. It's crazy how a hunt can start out slow but quickly turn into my best hunt ever! HH David

I can only dream of a hunt like this, unbelievable hunt!! Congrats!!

I'd be happy with just a few of those silvers. I'd be even happier with just one walker. Lol

Thank you for making me believe places like that still exist. Can you tell us why you picked that spot? Old buildings, old picnic grounds, old park? Why??
That is such a wonderful group of silvers, I would not be able to sleep for a week!
