5 silvers before I was rained out

[daytondigger]

I drove the hour drive to my honey hole today as the weather forecast was for PM showers and there was no rain on the radar. I guess 12 noon is technically PM and that's about when the rain moved in. When I arrived at my favorite site it was overcast and windy. I fired up my trusty CZ-5 and did a little test and tune with her. Just a few inches from where I ground balanced my machine I got a four inch deep coin reading. In this park there are so many coins from ~1900 to present that I limit myself to digging the "over 3" crowd, meaning over 3 inches deep. That way I can spend my time digging up mostly silver, wheats and the occasional buffalo and indian. I dug the target and found a wheat. This was an area I really hadn't hit before, so I figured that was a good sign. The next signal was a '62 memorial and then a nice '57 quarter. I continued digging the scattered wheats, early memorials, clad dimes, nickels and clad quarters. I eventually dug another silver quarter, 1956-D, and a '47 dime. Then the rain came, I kept at it for a while, but eventually went back for my rain jacket. I kept hunting until I added a Merc, worn 1917, and headed back detecting as I went. I picked up a 53-D dime on the way back to the truck. The rain had gotten me wet, cold and muddy, but I managed a three hour hunt. I ended up with 15 wheats(30's-50's), 2 clad quarters, 31 clad dimes, 8 nickels, 50 memorials, 2 silver quaters and three silver dimes. There were also a gold plated ring and a nice chain I thought was silver until I saw "avon" on the clasp.
Thanks, Steve

Rain, rain go away! Swing a detector in the right spots and you'll find many silver quarters. Good luck!!

Thanks, it's always a good day when you bring back multiple silvers and fortunately this site almost always produces multiples.

Nice haul Steve! You must be sore and tired after all of that digging!!!!!

Any day you find even one silver is a great day in my book. You done good!

Avon is about 20 minutes away from me. Nice digs, I've been there, getting soaked and cold and getting a pair of jeans ruined, but I pretty much don't regret anything once I get home and all cleaned up. Good luck on more trips to your honey hole.

Thanks Nate, I know you guys know what a pleasure it is to have a site that can produce multiple silvers on each visit. I dread the day that it becomes slim pickings. Good luck to you this year!
