I know it's been a while since I have posted any finds. Keepers have been scarce for the past month or so.

Left out early this morning and went to Elyria to hunt a school on Middle Ave. There were 4 houses that had to be taken down near the school for it to be expanded back in the late 50's. I figured I'd hit the curb strip where those houses once stood. I only dug 3 wheats and a bunch of clad. I then decided to go back to a site I pulled a 49S Merc from last weekend. First plug I dug there today had 2 silvers, :headbang: the Merc and a Rosie. Ended up pulling 5 silvers in a few hours and 5 wheats from this site. The oldest coin was the 1917 wheat. I think this is the most silvers I dug in 3 hours.

I plan on sharing this site with a couple local guys this coming weekend. One of the guys has yet to pull a silver. He swings an F44 (hardly has a chance to get out due to his wife's illness), and the other guy is retired and swings the AT Pro.

As always I hope ya'll got out and swung the coil :metaldetector: today.

I you could average 5 silvers every outing, it would only take 20 hunts to get to 100. So needless to say, 5 in one outing is pretty darn good.

As it is I only have 6 for the year, but a pretty nice variety - Barber Quarter, Barber Dime, Capped Bust Dime, Mercury Dime, Roosevelt Dime, Spanish Cob.

5 Silvers is a GREAT hunt :icon_thumright: I think my most ever in a single hunt is 3... I don't dig much silver so anytime I see the shiny stuff in the dirt it makes me smile... doesnt matter how old. Awesome hunt man.

Don't know how I missed this post but, glad I saw it now. What a Sweet hunt, Congrats!!
A five silver day is an Awesome hunt!! My record day with silvers was a 5 silver day and mine were all Rosies and Mercs too. I'm happy with a lone Rosie unlike Scrappy and finding newer silvers. Lol
After a slow month or so, this hunt had to feel great. And then to turn around and share this site with two other diggers, my hat goes off to you!!
