Hello Everyone,

I'll let the pictures do the talking today, but the new SE Pro coil continued it's consecutive hunt silver streak (9 for 9), helping me find my final 3 silvers to get to 200 before my Birthday this weekend. My hands are callused, my right arm is bigger than my left, I have a Farmer John tan, but I'm still smilin' !! ;D

Enjoy, and Happy Hunting!!
Keep The Passion High!!

Thanks, everyone, for all the great replies!!

Some of you probably wonder how many detecting trips it took to find all of these silver coins. This year, I've been averaging a couple hunts a week; three at most. Sometimes, my hunts last only 3-4 hrs, while others are 8 hrs long. I didn't count my wheaties yet, but I figure I have somewhere between 1000 and 1200.

Most of the silver coins have come from previously hunted sites; a total of 22 different parks here in S. CA; same places I found 657 silvers last year at. Only 1 of the 22 was a park that I never hunted last year. So it goes to show that even when you think a place has been hunted out, it hasn't.

The cut up coins are not intentional. They were cut by the many park maintenance lawnmowers that cut the grass at our parks weekly.

Keep the Passion High!!

Outstanding is all that I can say. At the rate I find silver, I'll be dead and in my grave for 20 years before I hit 200. WTG :thumbsup:
