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.

Whoa!... So that is what Heaven is like.

It was beautiful basking in the light of the silvery glow. I'll now be retreating back into the dark iron ridden cellar holes for the rest of the summer.

Nice hunt keep up the good work!
Thanks, and I'll try

OMG! Well sir, you knocked it out of the park today!!! Congrats!!:occasion14:

This was from ONE DAY?!?!? Are you pulling our legs? This is incredible. Nicely done!!!

No leg pulling here! I take honesty very seriously. In cases like this though, it does help I had a witness:tongue3:

THAT..is a Target Rich Environment. �� Fantastic job!!! ��

Yes it may have spoiled the rest of my summer as I will be back to cellar holes soon.

i had a pretty good daywith 10 indians and a seated and a barber in the same hole and a barber dime but T could do NO wrong and that MX sport was KILLER ..T was finding coins at 10 to 12" all day long. my tejon couldn't keep up with the sport......no way , like he said the first half ddime on the first swing and they just kept coming...this site will be overgrown in a week or two only good for dreaming until next winter . I think I'm going to need a nox or a kruzer to TRY and keep up..I have hunted with alot of guys in fourty years and TP is on of the best i have ever hunted with hands down and a real pleasure to hunt with he is definatly a killer coin shooter...

Sheesh with all those coins you would think you guys were on a spot where people just tossed coins for the heck of it.

Which begs the questions...

So... history of site ? any ?

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?

What a great day of detecting you had, something out of the early 70/80's for recoveries.

After having 18 surgeries on my hands the answer is yes you need one to detect and dig, great therapy.

Unreal ! To find that many old coins in one hunt, probably could not be matched by to many people. (unless they found a cache). Congrats on your finds.
