New Machine + Covert Hunt = BIG SILVER!!

[MuckyBottles]

Decided to take my new Garret out on its 2nd hunt today (7 hrs) hit a location I will refer to as the "Bathhouse", while I nailed $6.46 in clad and a few oddities, my biggest surprise is the amount silver I found...

First Silver was this 1943 Merc that's in spectacular condition for being in the ground for over 70 years



Then I nailed a few oddities...

Care for a Fitch & Cornwell 146 year old mint, you know its "For the breath"


What I think is a Clicquot Champagne bottle top?


Some creepy metal piece..


...as daylight is diminishing, I got this solid hit at 5-6 inches..

Silver in the hole..turned out to be 3 Morgans and 3 Peace Dollars...also oddly a 1960 Ben


after a little bit of dusting off..here are the morgans


...and the peace dollars


Total Silver for the day...

I am still in awe myself I am the unluckiest SOB there is. I guess every dog has its day.

Heading out again today to the location, and I am also hitting a colonial encampment in Bergen County too...maybe just maybe I can find some colonial copper

Great silver spill! I think your "creepy metal piece" is a broken antique comb.

 

[CoinandRelicMan]

Thats a "HUGE SILVER HIT" there !!! Maybe the creepy piece is part of a fan handle ?? Such a great hunt it must surely have made your heart race pulling all that silver out of the earth !!! Still looking for my first silver dollar here after 30 + years, really have not given up yet will keep trying as often as weather and circumstances permit detecting !!

WOW. Nice digs.

 

[MuckyBottles]

Thanks to all! Didn't fair to to we'll yesterday. .bathhouse was way to packed, so hit the British dragoons encampment site, nothing except this buckle which doesn't seem like a period piece.

Wow, That's amazing, I wonder what you were thinking when you heard that there was STILL a signal in the hole after already removing 3 silvers

 

[MuckyBottles]

To be honest I was cropping my pants hoping that there was number 7 or 8 in there..I guess I can't get to greedy

 

[Fingerlakes119]

Great finds. Can't believe multiple silver dollars and a half. WoW thats great. Hard to top that hunt.
