Those are amazing finds ... Congrats on your cobs. I'm envious of the history you guys have up there.

Thanks. I dont make banner, didnt you get the memo? lol

Yeah this Banner thing is getting really tough. Which I believe is a good thing by the way. I voted Banner on CPs hunt where he found the cut piece of Mass silver. I didn't vote this time because I figure if Mass silver isn't going to make it these cobs dont stand a chance. But I agree, how often do we see 2 cobs dug on one hunt. I think it sucks that CP hasn't made Banner on any of his finds from this site. Not sure I've ever seen a site like this. And I personally believe these early colonial finds are much nicer than some of the items that go up top.

Yeah, I shouldnt have made that comment lest I start the mud slinging but I'm not new to Tnet just had several monikers. I was here at least since 12+ years ago and it is getting tougher to make banner. I'm ok with it. Maybe its just not worthy, maybe people are pissed due to the weather and dont want to vote and maybe most dont even know what the heck they're looking at. Or a combination. Its ok, its the thrill of the hunt after all.

It has been really exciting to see what you are getting out of that site

Two cobs in one day doesn't happen very often unless you are diving on shipwrecks

I have managed to dig Spanish silver on consecutive signals on two occasions, which I thought was quite an accomplishment

Thanks. Now if this was found off Sebastian Inlet it'd be impressive to folks. Its provenance being the 1715 fleet or something like that. I guess if I'd included the colonists name - where found - then it might be impressive to many. But that'd be careless of me to do. So it aint necessarily the finds that impresses people. I know a small handful here understand what a feat this is hence the posts and I can live with that.

I believe when people post incredible finds on a consistent basis they make it harder for themselves. As I said I'm happy that the Banner is tougher. The inconsistency thing is what gets me. But I believe ANY Mass silver deserves Banner. So if it makes you feel better I made a lil Banner in my treasure room and you my friend are on it lol

Hey thats a hell of a compliment. Thank you kind sir.

I'll just have to dig something better is all.

 

[Ahab8]

Trust me my friend you're killing it. Banner or not. Btw I hope you do my find something better. Now that will be a real treasure indeed

You're exactly right Abe. Folks are used to some posters making really nice finds on a very consistent basis, and based on that expectation it tempers their enthusiasm and thus not many banner votes. But if an "average " hunter makes a similar find the forum goes crazy. Just human nature I guess. So don't give it another thought CP - you know you're making some incredible finds, and between that and the thrill you're currently experiencing that's probably more than enough reward.

Thanks all. Its all good.

The best news is we only had 1.5" of snow here and less than 2.5" at my site. It'll be melted away by Monday when I can go again. We have a babysitter for 2 days this coming week and every week through early april so the wife and I will find the biggest iron concentration and slowly dig a 20 x 30 area down 3"-4" at a time until there are no more signals. This is precisely where the hot spots are too. Its fairly sandy and super easy digging so it'll be neat to see whats down below all that iron. The farmer says we can leave it exposed until early april if need be. I'll try to video the process and we may do more than one section depending on the success. I can hardly believe it wont be successful to some degree. Not when so many targets turned into multiple targets in this area. Up to 5 in one hole!

Wonderful silvers and fantastic old relics. What a great day!!

Very curious to see what's down deep. I'm going to do that at a few spots this season. I have a feeling were missing a lot more than most believe. A half dime sized object doesn't have to be very deep to be missed. Or a coin on edge or a tiny lil Cufflink. The list goes on and on but I really believe we miss a ton....though most of us hate to admit it

Are these thoughts keeping you up at night Abe? All work and no play makes Abe a dull boy. A ghost bartender in your basement? Freaky twins at your door? Snowed in..... Redrum....

Lol. Hang in there Abe 'ol buddy. I figure a thaw here real soon so I'll let you know.

I'm actually going out to some islands next week. They're out in the ocean and should be ok due to the water temp. I'm looking for pirate treasure brother. I can't wait any longer so the sea is where I shall be
