You did a phenomenal job finding silver this year! Major congrats on surpassing 300! I know those big city parks you hunt have been hunted by detectorists for decades. Yet you have managed to find so much. That is a testament to how well you have mastered your detector. What more can I say? I'm in awe. :icon_salut:

congrats on finding OVER THREE HUNDRED SILVER. I KNOW YOU HAVE DONE ALOT OF DIGGING AND SPENT ALOT OF TIME OUT IN THE FIELD. IT IS KIND OF STRANGE NOT TO FIND ANY SEATED FOR ALL THE PLACES YOU HAVE BEEN HUNTING. YOUR TURN WILL COME SOON , UNLESS L4S AND I GET THERE FIRST! :laughing7: :laughing7: :hello:

Congrats on 300 Dave. I remember when you Goio and I got together for our first hunt of the season. You asked us if we thought it was possible for us to find 1000 silver together. We both looked at you and said naahhh. Well we almost did it with your 300+, Goio's 400+ and my 200+. Its been fun hunting this year with you and Goio. We got one more hunt for the 3 of us this year. Who knows maybe we will smoke enough out to get to 1000. Naahhh, probably not. LOL. TMAN...

I don't even know if we'll even be able to get out again this month...With the highs
forcasted in the teens this weekend...But we are going to give it a try,if possible.
Thanks

I know what you mean....Almost all the parks we hunted this year...We hunted before..
But each of us were instrumental in helping the other 2 zero in on the silver...
It is much more fun,and profitable to hunt together...Than hunting Solo


allen said:
thats more silver than ive found in my 10 years of detecting!! :thumbsup:
Me too (Almost)....We three were all suprized how helping each other (and the competition)
Helped our silver count rise so drastically ...[Even compaired to last year]

3 guys that are hunting with the same machine and settings....helping each other ...One gets a silver will
tell the other 2 what number readings and tone that its sounding at...and what depth....we're finding silver
We hunted Old (& a few newer) Chicago parks....Only went to the woods 7-8 times...The other
times were all parks hunts...My first one of this year was in the woods...a merc on Jan 1st 2009
the next weekend...(In the same woods) (GOIO-400) found 2 barber q's, a barb dime,v nickle...ect spill
.That's what set the tone for the year....Great competition amongst friends...

Hey Thanks Dan, Next year....Watch your silver total skyroket.....You are really getting to know your machine well
,and all you need now ..Is a local hunting partner that uses an E-Trac as well....I don't believe
I would have got much past 50 silver....If it wasn't for the help & competition the other 2 provide..

I think if the weather held up.....Us 3 would get close to 1,000 for the year..
,but 65 more silver coins in a month?....Man that's allot of work.Too bad
we can't count the silver jewelry as well...L.O.L.

capndan151 said:
what an accomplishment. You've definitely earned some bragging rights
Thanks capndan151, but I think bragging rights goes to my buddy GOIO. That has found 412 this year L.O.L.

TejasDigger said:
Man, that's seems unbelievable! Way to go!

Thanks TejasDigger, Until October all I had was a camera...I took pics when I got home...
Now,with (a couple cmcorders) I film most every detecting outing....Takes away from some of my fun....
But hopefully others can enjoy our hunts

300 silvers is amazing, but I do see your swinging a minelab.........seems like everyone who hits the BIG silver numbers always got minelabs, they are the best!
