I went to a spot that has produced fairly consistently. Lots of iron but found a few gems. These silver coins put my coin count to 139, but more importantly I had some fun.

Also just found out last night I finally got board approval for an untouched 1705 site. I'm very excited and hopefully can find some nice goodies to share.

Sweet!!

I'd take a 3 day silver any day, Sweet!!

Heck, who am I kidding, I'd take a single day silver any day. Lol

Good Luck on that 1705 site!! I know that's the stuff you live for.

Congrats Scrappy!

You have almost 100 more silvers than I do YTD. That's just mind boggling...

Very well done, as usual.

Thx bud. Well I keep saying you need to make a trip over to my area. I can probably boost your silver count a little. Maybe you'll even find one of those fancy nickels...what do we call them? ....oh, ID nickels! Lol

That CTX will be sniffin' silver outta of places you never thought so a three silver day will take on a whole different meaning lol. It eventually got to the point where I had to revisit all of my old spots and scored more silver coins at every one.

That already happened in our own yard finding 4 silvers we missed with the other detectors and the silver ring in the neighbors yard.

Yes, but you have an older silver than me this year. It's going to be difficult beating your 1728. U got me by 44 years since my oldest silver this year is a 1772.

Although I did pull a 1695 William 3rd copper this year;)

Thanks brother, since my goal of 100 silver is looking like an impossibility I'm trying to go more with quality over quantity, thanks to good Ole vino I popped that1728. Had a few good firsts this year as well, my oldest copper is my 1722 french 9 deniers

Nothing beats a handful of silver dimes. This is how empires begin.
