Ever go through a period of time where you are finding decent targets, but nothing great and no silvers? I seem to go through these slumps 3 or 4 times a year. This one was almost 5 weeks.

I had luck last year researching county preserve and reserve lands. Found a new one, 350 acres, near the interstate on my commute.

Did some overlays and found a number of dots from the 1800's to early 1900's.

Initially scouting trip turned up a some stone foundations at the first dot.

Here are the finds.

Congrats on breaking your silver slump. Mother Nature is taking over many sites, limiting our options.

Thx Steve! Thought for sure site A would pop more silvers than it did, but not complaining. More research to be done on these woods...
