Hello everyone,
Haven't posted in quite a while and 2017 has not yielded silver for me until yesterday.
I was out with my friends yesterday with Don in Brewster at his favorites park, everyone in the group was doing well but I was struggling to find something older than clad. I was becoming very frustrated and silently cranky LOL, my cell phone started ringing and I decided see who was calling me and it was my friend Against The Wind. He asked me how I was making out, a bit cranky and with some expletives I told him I was not doing well and I was frustrated about not finding silver in 2017 yet. Inspirationally he told me to keep at it and stay focused and his phone call was going to bring me luck. Bring me luck? LOL if you know ATW he ain't playing with a full deck LOL but hell, I'll take any luck I can get! Well sure enough not five minutes after I hung the phone up I get a nice deep 1245 on the CTX, 7 inches down and what popped out of the hole was a very dark 1902 Barber dime! Finally after many hunts in 2017 some silver. I called ATW and told him the good news, of course he busted my stones about my frustration but nevertheless he was happy for me.
My keepers ended up being the Barber dime, Mercury dime 1920, Indianhead 1903 and some mystery copper coin, might be flattened penny or something but there's no detail that is readable.
Everyone else in the group got silver some of them being a barber quarter, Don's nice readable date standing liberty quarter, another friend had a double dime trifecta! Two Barber dimes, two Mercury dimes, and two silver Rosies and a silver Washington quarter he had the most silver in the group.
Overall great day and it feels good to finally get on the board with silver for 2017. Thanks for the luck ATW.
Enjoy the photos and happy hunting
