It's Raining SILVER!! 12 Silver Day! ~ 18 Total Silver, 49 Wheats!!

Hello Everyone!

Today was just one of those days that I was in the zone. I wasn't quite sure where I was going to detect this morning, until Val (DanaPointVal) called me and said he wanted to go out detecting if I was going somewhere. I suggested somewhere local, like maybe his researched spot that he found last year, where he and Jayson (staydetuned) raped and pillaged the silver there. Val said, "Let's give it a try"! I was excited. The heavy rains from the prior days really saturated the ground, and it felt like I could hear every little fluty signal in the ground down to 10" with my SE. I just knew this was going to be a good day when my very first signal was a Rosie and a wheat in the same hole at 8+". The next few hours, I started pulling silver out of the ground like it was the good old days. Many were between 7-9 inches. Just a very faint, fluty signal. I ended the day with 11 silver dimes (6 Rosies, 5 Mercurys), along with 20 something wheats, and a sterling leaf earring. The other silver and wheats in my second pic were from two previous hunts. A couple of Mercs came from Dr. Joe's Erosion Beach, and a few more, including the small silver earring, came from a local 50's park I hunted yesterday.

Val, thanks for agreeing to hunt your spot. It was a killer day for me. I know I wouldn't have been able to do as well anywhere else. It's really hard to have days like this anymore around here. I will relish this one for a while.

Oh, today's silver put me well over the 2 year, 1000 silver coin mark since I purchased my SE back in '07. Today was a great ending to another fantastic year of metal detecting for the DEEP coinage here in S. Cal!!

Thanks for looking, and Happy Holidays to All!!

HH,

Congratulations Dan on a fantastic year for silvers!!
Weather has been, well, not very good here for detecting so haven't been

Hope you do as well next year as you have this year. Happy Holidays!!

Amazing finds and an amazing year you had.

I hope you'll post a pic showing those 1,000+ silvers

Dan,

You're awesome, man! Considering that you passed my lifetime finds in silver and wheaties in one day. I can't wait to upgrade my detector and see what I can do around here next year when the weather thaws. I'm chomping at the bit!!! Congratulations and Happy Holidays to you and yours!

HH,

WTG , Hope next year is better for you

Thanks, phantomfinder. I hope you're right, but I think it will be diminishing with each year that goes by....that's the law of diminishing silver returns in the turf. If I move to a different State, that could change things some.

Good job!!! No telling how much is left out there!!!

Thanks, BigTime1973. You're right about that!!

Now thats just plain disgusting. Once he sees this post, Detectingfreak will never stop complaining. I think he is even thinkin about gettin a Captain SE tattoo. He is your biggest fan. WTG as always.

JuJu

Thanks, JuJu! I hope my finds just inspires DF to get out there when he can and swing his machine!

Dan, BIG CONGRATS on surpassing your 1000th Silver coin with the SE. It's an amazing remarkable feat and definitely proves it's skill and the right machine...no luck involved.

Can you estimate how many holes that took? Between 5000 to 10,000? Yikes I know you've mentioned how many wheats you have...but the number is so large it leaves my memory almost immediately!

HH Joe

Thanks, Joe. Wow, it would be hard to figure out the number of plugs I've made in two years time. Thousands and thousands.....but I do have a more accurate count of my wheaties in the 2 years....around 4800.

Simply Outstanding!!!! Congrats on passing the 1,000 wilver mark Captn_SE...
What is the date on that toasted merc to the right in your pic?

HH Robert

Thanks, Robert! That merc is really toasted....I can't read a date on it...probably a common 40's. You should have seen what it looked like when I popped it out of the ground....it was furry, and as white as an albino.

WOW! Now that is a DAY for sure! man a BIG CONGRATS!!!!

Mike

Thanks, MIke! Good luck to you!!

OH MAN!!! That's SWEET!!!!! 12 silvers in ONE DAY?!! My personal best is 5 silver coins in one day ~ which I've done like 4 or 5 times!

CONGRAT'S DAN! You are a detecting GOD!!!

8^)

Thanks, Neil!! Appreciate it! Hope that weather get a little better up there so you can detect a little.

sweet digs

-GC

Thanks, GC!! Good luck!

You set a very high benchmark for the rest of us. No way I can compete with that, you rock!

Thanks, Anthony!! I hope you're doing well with your E-Trac. Competing is futile. Each of our areas will produce their own set of unique finds.

You Da man, Dan!!!!! You Da Man, Dan!!!!!!! You should just hunt silver for a living Fantastic hunt

Thanks, Ron!! I wish I could. I've yet to find a job that fulfills me as much as detecting does.

Incredible!!!

Thanks, Neil! Appreciate it!!

Love the Ole Granny earring there Dan.....and it's marked !2 Silver day is unbelievable to me anyday.....Can't wait for the 08' Find's Bud,going to be Sweet.Congrat's

Thanks, Civil! Is that what the earring is? Yeah, I always look forward to the year end posts! I see some folks have already started creating them. I've got to start looking at them.

Great day out there gotta love the silver 8)

Thanks, Ed!! I do love the silver!!

OMG, you owe your buddy a beer

Thanks, Seger98! Don't worry...I've shown my buddy a few good parks too.

[email protected]e are my sunglasses?? All of that shiny stuff is hurting my eyes
That's a one day total that takes me back to the early 1980's. Don't 'ya miss those days ...Oh...I guess not...cause' you just had one
Even in the 80's I don't think I ever popped our 12 in a day though
That is a jackload

Thanks, Bryce!! If we all had Explorers back in the 80's, there'd be very little left in the ground to find today. We'll see what it will be like in 8-10 years from now. Take care, buddy!!

that was a awesome hunt. you are the one. nice silver.

Thanks!! Yes, I'm One with my machine, but not the "One".

Who needs 50 in a row when you can pop out a dozen on a whim! That moisture in the soil is man's best friend, no matter what else may lay claim to it.

Thanks, Henry. You're right about that. If I could pop out a dozen at a time, I wouldn't even be counting consecutive hunts.

Man....when they're poppin' like that, its hard to go home...great job!!

Thanks, Jopher!! I was definitely content with driving home after my 5 hour hunt. I was smiling all the way home....and very hungry too!

Always hard to top a day like that and they are now few and far apart, UNLESS you research!! What a great day and congrats on both a handful of silver and going over 1000 silver with the SE!!

Thanks, Jack. You're right, days like this are few and far between now. I'm still relishing the day.

LUCKY DOG

Thanks, Homer!! I'll take luck in any way, shape, or form!!

Nice work, my friend! Still pulling out the old silver by the handfulls.

Glad to see that your sites are still producing.

Buckles

Thanks, Buckles!! If this was my site, it would have been wiped clean of the silver/oldies last year sometime. My buddy found a great spot through research.

Awesome job bud!!! Keep on raken in those wild silvas!!!!

Thanks, Fiend!! I'm still raking them in. It's still sunny here too.

Gold Nuggets

Thanks, Gold Nuggets!! Sorry to hear about the weather in your area. Even when I couldn't hunt for a few days last week because of the torrential rains, I was Jonesing. I'm glad the rain is gone for now.

Wait a minute, it rains in southern California?

Well, if it's gonna rain, it might as well be Mercs & Rossy's.....

Amazing finds and an amazing year you had.

I hope you'll post a pic showing those 1,000+ silvers

Congrats...

Brian in MA

Thanks Brian! Yep, raining Mercs and Rosies, with the occasional "Old Granny" earring!! So you want to see what a 1000 dug silvers looks like? Hmmm, I haven't even combined them yet to see what it looks like myself. Well, when I do my year-end post, I will show them.

Dan,

Like always brother u always come up with some great silver! I love your silver littered post that remind me of the coins left in the ground along with the gold! Keep up the great finds till the end of the year and I hope you get some more. Let me know when your posting your annual so I can throw mine up with you!

Hey, thanks Brandon!! I hope you're still on the beach pulling massive amounts of 24 Kt gold out of there. That was truly an amazing post you made!! Take care!!

Thanks, Gary!! When you get back out there, you'll be a "newbie" all over again.... Well, how about a "well seasoned newbie"...

Yea Dan, let's see you top that year buddy. Nice finds all year Dan, you are in deed in the zone all the time. I can't wait for the winter weather to stop(forever)..LOL...I am aching to get out there and do some diggin' Merry Christmas man and Happy New Year from the Great White Midwest! jgas

Thanks, Jgas!! I hope that weather lets up a little for you...I know how much you must be wanting to go out!! Merry Christmas and HNY to you too!!
