Got about 4 hours to hunt before work today. It's about to start so I got to post fast.

Got 4 silvers. The 1917 and 1920 were in the same hole. The '64 Washington and '64 Roosie couldn't have been father away from one another.

The Indian was about 6" deep. It's going to clean up well.

The KG was a wicked choppy signal. 12-41 ish. Kept digging an digging and finally got it around 10" down. Phew. It's mid cleaning so please excuse the bad pics. The 1747 is barely legible since she's toasty but I'm glad I could pull a date. I don't know if I can get a pic that could clearly show the date. I'll post better pics after work.

KG's are nice. I'm glad it was a KG2. I've found 3 KG3's this year and so this was a very nice sight! It's toasty but NJ soil by me has never been too kind in my experience.

I've only ever found 1, and destroyed it in a failed attempt to get the date

Not the 1st time I ever failed at getting a date lol:laughing7:

I totally understand. I see people posting great looking KG's on here and I'm always finding the crusty ones. Oh well, they're all beautiful to me!

Thanks Tom. Do you and Smittyman have a spot picked out or are you guys winging it?

4 silvers, KG and an IH, Awesome hunt!!

I've got probably a dozen old coppers this year and could barely get a date off most of them.

Congrats on a Sweet hunt!!

Those KG's are tricky with those dates. They are so small and delicate. I only have 3 I can read.

Hope you hammer out some more early silvers there bud. Those sites are fun when they've got history going back that far. Especially if the ground is pretty much left alone and there's not 8" of fill. How big is this spot?
