Last weeks silver trifecta!

[Slipperyjack47]

I moved this winter, all the way to northern Wisconsin. The winter has been very long but finally got a warm spell last week and thought I might try the hundred acre park thats across the stree from my house. From the research I have done the park is over one hundred years old, so I had high hopes. I started hunting in what looked like a popular area and instantly got a nice deep penny signal, the problem was the ground was frozen pretty hard still but I managed to chip through and was rewarded with a nice 1900 indianhead. Was'nt long and I got another nice signal and was singing the sweet silver song, another adventure in ice chipping and pulled a nice 1923 merc. Now I am pretty jazzed, and not much longer and the silver flute is tooting! this time for a 1905 that i hit with my digger while dislodging it from its icy grave "OUCH!" good thing it was'nt a key date! I know am thinking I might be able to nail a silver trifecta and hope I can find a silver rosie to complete it. I decided to forget my frozen hands and toes and continue to swing for a few more minutes, I slowly start working my way back to my house when I get a serious screamer! The depth meter on my explorer is telling me I should be able to see this coin laying on the surface? I almost decide not to dig as the signal was so strong and shallow I think it might be a beer can or the like, but the pinpointer says its a small object so I start the ice chiseling routine. About 3/4 of an inch down I pull out a frozen chunk with gleaming silver sticking out! Man what a surprise! The best part is when I break the frozen clump I see a lady seated on a nice little dime Trifecta the hard way! Hope everyone else is having good luck as now its snowed on us again and looks like 2 more weeks of this white stuff

Now why didn't you hunt until you got the silver rosie also What would you call that...a quadfecta?

It's called a "Grand Slam"!

Wow, Jack, 100 acres of over 100 year old park lands just waiting for you within walking distance from your house. Sounds like a perfect combo. Congrats on your trifecta.
