Friday & Sunday hunt

This past Friday I joined TreasureFiend, Silvergurl and Kimsdad for a morning hunt
in the woods and was pleased that the 'skeeters decided to sleep in in for a change.
It was nice to see Kermit get a cool Merc and Silvergurl find her oldest Wheats :thumbsup:

Aside from the usual shotgun shell brass, my first decent find was a "Stefan Vrabec"
token that was "Good for 5-cents in Trade". It's about the size of a quarter and almost
as thick as a dime. . . has anyone seen one like this?

Toward the end on my hunt, I found a silver-plated butter knife, a George Washington
coin (copper) and a "3 Merry Widows" tin (what a surprise ::))

Sunday's hunt was only for an hour or two but I'm happy to report, my silver drought
has FINALLY ended.

While hunting the woods across the street from where I hunted Friday, I got a super-solid
quarter signal and about 5-inches down, was a "no-date" SLQ. About 20-minutes later
while hunting along a deer trail, I dug a shallow target which turned out to be a metal,
yellow chicken that appears to have been used for shotgun target practice. . . if you look
close, you can see the small indentations from the shotgun pellets.

Thanks for looking & HH!

Re: Friday & Sunday hunt

Which came first? The chicken or the, oh you already stated which came first. Got some of those little sils. down here in the Lowbatts firing range. They come with pellet/bb gun traps and yeah, apparently yours got "outgunned."

That's a cool token! Looks like a great homework assignment with it's barebones info.

Nice way to end the silver drought!

Nope, you're still hanging onto you're coil's inability to swing itself over the goodies. You have to guide it into you're first silver experience.... Just let yourself go and take that coil to places it's never been before and it will give back. Kermit knows, he's been there with that coil.
