Went out with D-Dub today to a couple of sites. I didn't have too much time before work, so we decided not to drive too far.

Arrived at our first site, and nothing for the first hour but a lonely IH. Walked back over to an area I've hit before at this site and I got a wheatie signal. Not quite convinced it was a wheatie (and digging several of these signals 2 yrs ago), I dug a plug to discover my Oldest U.S. silver to date. An 1843 Seated dime that is pretty worn. (Wish it was a 1844 though $$$). Not thinking anything of it, (like getting a tri-fecta or grand slam), we detected this site for another 30mins before deciding to check out another site.

Within 5 minutes at this new site, I dug a very deep '36 Merc. About 5' away from the Merc, I got another deep "irony" sweet signal and out popped the '52 Rosie. Now we haven't even been at this site for fifteen minutes yet and I already have a tri-fecta.

Well, not even ten minutes went by and I had yet another deep signal that I could barely pick out through the iron. After I dug the plug, the signal disappeared and I couldn't find the target. As I was about to grab my shovel and move on, I noticed something silver on it. BAM! '02 Barber dime stuck to my shovel and completing my grand slam.

Funny thing is, that I hadn't realized I had a grand slam until about 10 minutes later. I turned to D-Dub and said, "Dude, I just got my first frickin' Grand Slam, Holy S#*t!"

Before we left, I also ended up getting a 2 Quarter pocket spill; 1920-D SLQ and a 1907-D BBQ. We were at this 2nd site for 45 mins. Definitely my best time:silver ratio. A hunt I will not forget an time soon. Enjoy and HH!

That helps make life great!
Currently, my handle on here is "windage", a holdover from my shooting competition forums.
Some days I think it maybe "looking4trash"!
But after watching you for a few months now, I may change it to something catchy, like, "looking4silver", or "looking4alotofsilver" or "looking4afreekingpouchfillofsilver" or something like that. Would you consider franchising your "looking4" name to help us out here alittle?

Excellent grand slam! WTG!

ANY day you get both a Barber and Standing Liberty quarter is a GREAT day in my book!
