Congrats on that silver dime haul! Looks like the Roosevelts outnumbered the Lady!.........it is usually the opposite. In my finds, the Roosevelts are making a comeback.......5 to 7. Good work Torrero

Thats ok...my dfx is paid for in less than one season with the gold and silver rings I have found I had a guy offer me $150 for the last 2 I found(Only sold 2 of the rings I found this year for $70 this year...one gold...one silver.....crossing 6000 coins this week and $400 in clad does not hurt either! I would rather be honest then pretend I am finding stuff that I am not! I had 4 silver coins early in year and that was it!
Oh by the way...fantastic finds! Glad to hear it was a dfx you found them with!

I've always been curious about your results, now that you mention the four silvers you found early this year. You find a ton of clad and you put a lot of effort into it; aren't you able to hunt sites that will yield the silver? I've also noticed a theme of skepticism about the silver others find; I am relatively new to this Forum, was there a problem with this at some point? I've never noticed extraordinary claims here.

I have my goals and don't worry about what others find....my goals did not include silver...my original goal was 5500 coins...I found out with the time and effort that 5500 was to low...spoke with a couple genuine coin shooters that do not post their numbers and have found more then anyone posting here and they said I could hit 10,000 coins... Now I realize i can...it took me a few days and a couple of calculations...plus (added hunts) to figure out I could. Now I am set on making it and passing it! If I stumble across some silver as I have the 17 quality rings i have found that is great...if I don't...as someone said....the clad I am finding more then makes up for it! I do have a lot of wheaties, old nickels and other types of silver..rings , bracelets, pendants...just the silver coins been eluding me...that is ok...I will survive!
Don't get me wrong, I admire your quest for 10,000. That's an average of 27.39 every day this year and weather will probably deny you a third of the year at least. So, you're probably having to dig at least 40 a day to compensate and you're doing way more than that. You must be a lot younger than me!

I am 44 next week...work 12a to 8a so I hunt after work...still home by noon. Across the forums I post I either get a lot of personal messages asking for the coin-o-meter to be put back up...or just the opposite they ignore my finds and don't respond! I may put the coin-o-meter back up when I hit 7000 just so people can watch be struggle to 10,000!
I did actually hunt in January thru the cold...but 0 days in February, some of March and lately was 3 days week with at least one 100 coin day to now just more hunts...sorry for changing this post...but your silver finds are awesome! Great work...I have hit 1360 dimes this year (no contest needed I already know that is a lot)...2 silver rooseys and 2 silver mercs...and of course the last merc I could not read date and was worn thin like a potato chip!

I didn't see where Terroro specified which machine he was using to find the wilver Bonanza.
In any case, congratulations!

Correct you are....
But it was in fact the DFX....
I think that I have had only one other day with this much silver in 20 years...
so its very rare to see this much.
I believe the park to have been hunted because even though I got a few modern coins,
it was very few compared to places I've been that have not been hunted in a while.
you would find a lot more pocket change around the playground equipment, and we found
almost none of that.
In three hours of walking around I had 7 quarters, 2 dimes (clad) 1 nickel, and 5-6 pennies.
Not much clad for that much silver....
As far as digging 10,000 coins in a year, I assume its possible, you might not realize how fast
those coins add up, but on the other hand, I would be very hard pressed to find the number
of coins needed to make that goal on a consistant basis.
Meaning that I might find a place that has several hundred coins, but most of the playgrounds,
parks, schoolyards, ballfields and other likely places I hunt seem to be kept pretty clean by someone else...
don't know....

It's better to be thought a fool, then open your mouth and remove all doubt.
The definition of average is the best of the worst, and the worst of the best.
