Hey folks,
I haven’t been out much lately because I’ve been busy with work and the weather here has been downright nasty. Got out to an area today between rain showers that I had low expectations for. I’ve hit it a little and haven’t found much but I’ve done well nearby so I figured it was worth another go.
Well, I’m glad I did. A King George V Canadian silver has been at the top of my bucket list for nearly 2 years, right up there with a seated coin and a gold coin. I got a pretty solid signal I thought could be a silver dime. I popped out a quarter that I thought had a good chance of being silver but it was hard to tell because it was pretty caked. I figured it was a silver GW. I ran some water over it and was shocked to see an old Canadian silver!
Didn’t find much else so I was heading back to the car as the rain picked up and got a banging signal an inch deep in a few inches of water. I dug around and saw a turquoise stone. It is so big I figured it was a piece of costume jewelry. When I picked it up it felt pretty heavy and then I saw the sterling mark. Score!! I found a matching ring for sale online for over $200.
Pretty awesome, especially for a short hunt.
Thanks for looking and good luck out there!
