I got to 50 silvers on April 8 (100 days). The second 50 took 182 days as my go-to sites stopped coughing 2-3 per trip. I also think the dry ground and not wanting to hunt more than a couple hours in the heat had something to do with it. Anyway, I got to my go-to park, turned on the detector, and in the first sweep of the coil I got a solid 12-45 at 5". Out popped #100. Pretty decent condition.

thanks for looking and happy hunting all

Congrats. 50 mercs is unbelievable. Folks must have had a lot of money to throw around during the WWII years and just after

Loco; come back East and we'll double that! Give me a holler sometime and we'll figure out a time. You're always welcome bro.
