Birthday Weekend Silver Fest - Part 2

[Carolina Tom]

Sunday morning dawned clear and cool. I was tired after the success of Saturday, but excited about the prospects of finding more silver coins, so off I went to meet Smittyman around 9:00AM.

Here is a pic of the 94 coins dug, as well as some of the trash. If you only dig the "good" signals, you are missing keepers. Half the secret is being fast & efficient.



Now off to the good stuff. I hit a few Wheaties, then this worn 1920 Merc appeared.



Shortly there after, another Merc!



A poorly pinpointed Rosie is seen stuck in the sidewall of this hole. Oops.



As lunch time arrived, I checked my pouch, and this is what I saw... 5 silver coins. NICE.



After lunch, I switched the Deus from .900 (coin silver) to .925 (Sterling), and headed off to find something shiny, other than coins. It was not long until I got a "beer can" signal... however, it was not a can, it was fork! However, NOT like the forks I usually find.



It was a Westmorland Sterling fork! 47 grams of silver. The largest piece of silver I have ever found!



I trudged ahead, pouch heavy with spoils. A scratchy signal produced this flowery Sterling ring next.



It was quite a day, one of the best that I have ever had. Here is a pic of the silver items from Sunday.



Thanks for looking, and best of luck on your hunts!

PS: Not sure how those pics got down there, apparently, I outsmarted myself again!

Smittyman found silver this weekend. I will leave it at that. The other boys get mad at me, and say that I gloat and mock them... which we both know aint true. I took them to the spot, and turned them loose, that's all I can do.

Lol. No, you'd never gloat buddy! So you released them like a herd of cats? Lol. In my mind I could just see them all go.

Awesome finds Buddy! Congrats! If I found this stuff in one hunt I would consider it as my best hunt ever !!!!

Two years ago I had a weekend that started with 5 silver dimes and a sterling ring and I followed it up on Sunday with four more silver dimes which made for one of my best silver weekends since the late 80's. I didn't get no 47 gram sterling flatware....
Grats to ya, Tom, and thanks for taking the time to share.

Thanks XR7. I have found more silver coins in one day (Best ever: 11), but this weekend was certainly exceptional. I got 9 silver coins in 2 days... plus the ring and fork. As soon as I saw the whitish color of the fork, I knew it was silver... I was just looking at it shaking my head with my mouth hanging open!

The property owner was really cool, so we will attack the place again at 8:00AM next Saturday morning. P@tch was out of town last weekend. I owe him a hunt or twelve, so I'll make sure he gets some quality time on this site.

Best of luck to you sir!

Thanks Cru. Everyone wanted that item. They all said that it obviously belonged to them!

PM me your address and I will send it over the pond to you sir!
