Took my new/used fully equipped work van out for a weekend hunt,

Van Equiped.jpg

in the hopes of continuing the silver finds. But, it was not to be. Saturday was beautiful........60+ degrees......a real pleasure. Then spent 2 hours on Sunday with 34 degrees, 20 mph winds and snow furrlies (yes, furrlies) swirling, hunting for the elusive metal........it was brutal!!

Managed to find a couple hand fulls of wheat and a couple of decent relics..........but, the mini silver streak ended at 6.

Thanks for lookin' in and good luck to all of you for the remainder of this hunting season!!

Chizzy, I was rooting for you to keep the streak going. Well it looks like you still had a good hunt none the less. Crazy weather we're having here in PA. I can't believe you were out today it's brutal!!!

Thanks for the cheer, $stinger! My wife thinks I'm crazy for going out there today, but I just had to try........it's a good spot. Really difficult to wait til spring to hit it.

Shame the silver streak ended, you still had a good day and a good silver run before today.
Won't be long and you'll be on another run.

When are you gonna frame the van i and install the paneling and shag carpeting? :tongue3: I have a Mazda MPV, I keep the rear seats folded down into the floor and made a false floor so all my gear can stay out of site.

I can see you are really obsessed with this hobby like me and many others. I was out Fri, Sat, and then again Sunday. In the low 30's with high winds after snow fell over the evening. I am out there until the ground freezes or the snow is too deep.

Thank you, Silvermonkey, but to be accurate, not all those silver finds were coins. 2 War nickles, a GW quarter, 3 silver rings and a silver bracelet charm. I'm sure gonna try to get another one goin' before the ground freezes!!

Thanks, Doc..... the picture of the work truck was taken on a job site and many of the tools were inside. But, the important one is always hangin' there ready for immediate use!!

Always sad to see a Silver Streak come to an end.
Glad you got out and congrats on your finds.

Thanks, atw.......I pushed really hard on Saturday to keep it going, but all I turned over was wheat..........

Already have a nice thick piece of carpet for wall to wall, end to back of seats install. The carpet now on the floor is actually 2 pieces of covered 1/2" plywood. I'll salvage some more carpet from jobs this winter for the sides and build boxes and shelves for the tools and crucial equipment!!
Yeah, Loco-Digger.......extreme weather is about the only thing that will keep me from swingin' that coil!! I was out today after work for an hour (little over $1 in clad). There are more days ahead good enough to get out there! I just need to remember when it gets too bad that March is just around the corner!!
