So I went out with 3cylbill again today for a long proper hunt. We were out swinging for almost a full 8 hrs. If you saw my thread last week, I was just coming off a career best hunt. Somehow I just managed to top that. THIS WAS A DREAM HUNT! I started off the day by turning on my machine and kicking some dead weeds aside, and literally my first swing I hit a half dime. From then on I wandered through the area pulling coin, after coin, after coin. A silver here, a few indians there, with the occasional nickel stumbling through. I entirely lost count during the hunt of how much silver I found, let alone the indians. Truly my best hunt of all time, I am still in awe of how I managed so many small silvers. I was banging out half dimes at 8 inches, it was just crazy. So this hunt yielded TWO MORE Bucket listers, a trime and a seated quarter. The totals for the day were 24 indians, 12 silvers, 3 shield nicks, 1 v nick, two junk rings(even though one is marked 24k haha), and a random token. So excited, straight drunk on silver.

Wow... super great day.

This is what I call a picture perfect metal detector day.

It isn't always about finding that "one thing"... When you come home with that many hits... Combined its a "home run".

Well done guys.

Well done guys.

Best part is that 3cylbill also pulled in 13 coins of his own! Best day ever.

Sound like you guys are on one heck of a spot...

Um... Tomorrow is Monday... either of you working ? or plans ?

Sheesh ! even I can see it from over the internet...

the both of you are feeling VERY sick and will have to cancel all work and plans...

And you were both on your way to the doctor to get checked out and suddenly felt better and happened to still have your metal detectors and equipment in the car.

IF OFF / FREE...

GO BACK.

Ive been thinking of dropping something heavy on my left hand tomorrow at work, then digging all week before the place grows in and becomes unhuntable until next spring. You only need one arm to detect right?

Heck I don't really believe it myself. I keep walking into the other room and looking at them to make sure.

Tp, now you're just overachieving! I'd take a tenth of that and call it an awesome hunt but what you have pictured is an epic hunt.

I'm normally happy to get relics or an Indian(seems like I find more pocket watches and those triangle cutter teeth than anything) . I always hope for silver and it rarely shows up for me. This Just blew me away
